Cresco is renowned for its revolutionary building practices and intelligent design. From stunning architecture, to fusion of the latest smart technology and innovative materials, our homes are truly an expression of creative skill and imagination. Our lottery home was designed no different – recognized for its beauty, function, quality, and efficiency.

This home is our seventh home in five years and we are more proud than ever to continue our support of the QEII Health Science Centre Foundation. The QEII touches thousands of families in Nova Scotia.

Your generosity helps to fund new technologies, medical research, and most importantly helps change the lives of countless QEII patients within our community.

Explore, enjoy, and experience the art of building throughout our home.”

ith their innovative building practices, clever design and creative skill, Cresco has been creating exceptional homes and redefining neighbourhoods for over 28 years. During this time, the builders have done something else that is quite extraordinary – they have been responsible for building 22 homes in support of local charities. And one of their proudest achievements? Building seven homes over the last five years in support of the QEII Health Sciences

Centre Foundation. Welcome to the QEII Lottery Home for Fall 2017!

The lottery home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Waterberry Park in the Parks of West Bedford, one of Halifax’s newest and most desirable locations. The view from the street gives a hint of the detail and imagination that went into the design of this year’s prize home, with its CraftsmanContinued >>>

Entry from garage into mud room with lockers and ample storage

style pillars, stone, brick and solid wood siding, and an attention-grabbing roof line with multiple peaks. At once traditional and modern, the view from curb offers a sign of the uniqueness within.

The two-storey 19 Weybridge Lane home offers 5,182 sq. ft. of living, plus 760 sq. ft. of attached garage space – more than enough for two cars plus all the lawn tools and toys, camping gear and sports equipment you own (or have borrowed and not returned). The access ramp, one of the home’s many universal-design features, leads from the garage to the basement and is wide enough for any mobilityassistive device, including a wheelchair, walker or scooter.

With its own Velux sun tunnel to light this area of the house, the garage is a bright, open area that’s ready to take you to the rest of the home.

Don’t be mistaken when you exit the garage to enter the main house – you may find yourself in the large storage room if you take a right turn at the top of the stairs. That’s just another bonus to Cresco’s construction – no space is ever wasted! The next door, however, takes you to the main floor, with its fun yet utilitarian mudroom space, complete with Spacious double garage with epoxy floor and wide access ramp

Elegant but easy family room with plenty of space and natural light

floor to ceiling “lockers” with shelves and hooks for shoes, umbrellas, coats and bags. In turn, this area leads to the generous family room and kitchen.

The family room is ideal for entertaining. It features a vaulted, 19-ft. ceiling, with Velux skylights and southern exposure. The black tile and natural birch framed gas fireplace is a stunner, banked by free floating shelves for treasures and mementos.

This room is both elegant and easy, a cozy and spacious spot to catch up on some Netflix on the large flat screen TV or enjoy a get-together with loved ones. The beverage centre with copious wine storage located between the family room and the kitchen begs for fun gatherings.

The adjoining kitchen is appointed to perfection, with this year’s home featuring slick black appliances, including gas cooktop and vent hood. Modern and classic, this is the place to make that gourmet meal or to pull up to the center island for a quick snack. Either way you’ll be well-stocked, considering the size of the pantry located off the kitchen.

If you are taking the gourmet route, enjoy the experience in the formal dining room, separated from the kitchen by a dual-action opaque-glass door. And after dinner? Retire for a 19ft vaulted ceiling open to master bedroom Juliette balcony

Specious entry and wide staircase connecting all three levels

and its four bedrooms, including two children’s rooms one a magical, pink confection and the other a Canadianinspired retreat, that share a Jack and Jill bath. The laundry room is large enough to fit an in law who may have overstayed their welcome, while the guest room is perfect for anyone else. And the Master? It is a study in blue – upon entering, one can feel the day float away. An impressive Juliette balcony in this amazing master suite overlooks the family room below. The ensuite has a massive no-threshold shower that is a nod to European bathing rooms, as well as a vanity and soaker tub fit for a spa. On the opposite side of the master suite is the walk-in closet/dressing area that will suit any number of suits!

Were you to go downstairs from the main living floor, you’ll be in recreation heaven. From the pool table to the home gym, the walk out to the backyard or the separate cinema room with 5.1 Dolby sound system, it’s the spot to gather, to play, to eat and to work off all that movie popcorn all on one floor. There is also a fifth bedroom and full bath on this level.

Upper landing and inside-view of elevator

As for the décor of the lottery home, as is true of every year, interior decorator Meg Wallace of Harmony Interiors is the creative brains behind the stylish operation. A black and birch theme runs throughout the home, and was indeed the starting point for the decorator.

“This year I was struck by the contrasts between black and natural birch, and between black and gold,” says Wallace.

“I was inspired by a soft, muted, antique matte gold which would be rich against the black and surprising against the light shades of birch wood. I knew I wanted to do a black and natural birch staircase from day one.”

Bold but relaxing master bedroom with open views to below

Black shows up in the home’s appliances, kitchen backsplash, paint trim and wood trim on the staircase railings, the light fixtures, drapery, and in the upholstery. However, were one asked to recall the main colour scheme in the house, it would be unlikely they would include black in the description, yet the theme transitions subtly from room to room.

“The black is what sparks the other design elements and makes them pop,” says Wallace. “It’s a sophisticated yet minimalist colour scheme that shows off the dimension and colour shading of the birch. It’s dramatic and warm at the same time.”

Master walk-in closet and dresssing room with vanity

An interior decorator for over 30 years, Wallace is an expert in all details of new home construction, renovation work, and all types of interior requirements. She has partnered with Cresco on various home projects for over 16 years.

With too many exciting and unique features to fully describe, it would be truly remiss to not mention the elevator. Yes, all three floors are accessible by the Savaria home elevator, which was engineered and manufactured in Canada.

Driven by electric motors and counterbalanced just like a commercial version, this beauty is smartly decorated inside with a New York city scape on the walls.

This EnergyStar registered home has an Energuide rating of 86, a whole home audio system with fully integrated digital touch screen home controller, a security system and an intercom. It is wheelchair accessible on all three floors, including master suite.

Cresco understands the importance of comfortable family living and beautiful spaces with special extras. These builders

That is why, for the seventh time in five years Cresco has delivered a special home for a cause essential to all Nova Scotians - the QEII Health Sciences Centre and its life-changing work.

Cresco is proud to support great causes.

Cresco is proud to be a longtime supporter of worthwhile community causes, including the QEII Foundation. For the seventh time in five years, they have designed and built the QEII Lottery Home - one of the most consistent builders in the history of the event. Through the generous support of ticket purchasers and corporate partners like Cresco, the QEII Home Lottery has netted over $54-million since the program began in 2003. This money has gone directly to help strengthen care for patients at the QEII, in all 10 buildings across both the Halifax Infirmary and VG sites.
