Quiet, Ravine-Side Living by Custom Builder Stellar Homes
As we pull up to 23 Wedgewood Crescent down a quiet street brimming with oversized treed lots more reminiscent of British Columbia’s lower mainland than Edmonton, we can’t help but feel a sense of awe and anticipation.
We’re here to tour our latest listing, a beautiful bungalow walkout nestled against the Wedgewood Ravine, and we will be meeting with builder Mike Klein, Owner/Operator at Stellar Homes, to do so.
Built to Last
“I was 15 when I started working in construction,” Mike tells us. “We know construction and we know what it takes to build a real house.”
We wander the home’s 7,060 sq. ft. of living space and we’re impressed with the level of detail Mike provides on the features that will make this house stand the test of time.
He describes the water mitigation measures that went into the ravine-backing 56,790 sq. ft. lot. He showcases the interior’s superior craftsmanship by pulling a register from the floor and describing how even the simplest features are meticulously made. He explains how he schedules trades one at a time to ensure the highest quality of work possible, and he provides a laundry list of premium build components like J-grade lumber, LVL beams and headers, an open web floor joist, and more.
We chuckle as Mike breezes through the kitchen (a usual favourite during home tours) straight to the mechanical room to show off the home’s technical build components. “It’s the heartbeat of the house,” he explains. The kitchen requires little comment as the allure speaks for itself, but his mechanical room explanations are lengthy and he deems the space worthy of a much deeper dive.
If one thing stands out to us, it’s that Mike is a man who prides himself on his attention to detail, and you know that with a Stellar Homes-built abode you’re getting the highest quality of build possible.
“People are getting a quality home that’s going to be here for 100 years and you can’t say that very often today.” – Mike Klein, Owner/Operator at Stellar Homes.
Refined Design
Technical components aside, 23 Wedgewood Crescent is awe-inspiringly beautiful. Interior favourites include the slate surround of the wood-burning fireplace in the great room, the convenience of a second laundry room located right within the primary walk-in-closet, and the spacious butler’s pantry off the kitchen, a popular feature for those who love to entertain.
The millwork throughout the home is intricate and impressive with a number of unique ceiling details, as well as beautiful oak panelling lining an open-to-below staircase that leads downstairs.
The walk-out basement is anything but ordinary, boasting two additional bedrooms, a wet bar, and plenty of recreational space, but this floor’s best feature is undoubtedly the home spa. Set behind an aptly titled door, the spa features a home gym, a custom-built dry sauna, and a swim spa enclosed in glass walls with a teak flooring surround.
A Hobby Haven
If woodworking, tinkering, or luxury cars are your thing, you’ll love this home’s two (yes, two!) spacious garage and workshop spaces. The first is a four-car attached garage off the mudroom and the second is a 1,365 sq. ft. freestanding space with 16+ foot ceilings that can easily accommodate an RV or vehicle lift for your prized collection of cars. The shop is car wash capable and includes unexpected features like a sink and urinal so you’ll never have to venture out from your beloved hobby hideaway.
Backyard Bliss
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac behind a wrought-iron gated entry, this home’s landscaping is lush and the natural stone-clad exterior is stunning. Large windows, front and back, frame picturesque views of rolling greenspace, tiered rockwork, vibrant greenery, and a beautiful stone firepit area.
The property feels worlds away from the city’s hustle and bustle yet is just a 4-minute drive from the Anthony Henday.
“You can’t buy these trees and the kind of feeling they give…the privacy,” comments Mike.
