At $11 Million, Extravagant Winnipeg Mansion is the City’s Most Expensive Home… Ever!

Located on Winnipeg’s posh Wellington Crescent, this mansion boasts six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms within 22,000 square feet of interior living space. The listing also notes the home’s verdant setting, nestled on two expansive acres directly on the Assiniboine River.

The home displays Art Deco influences throughout, and the entry foyer with its gleaming marble floor and grand staircase is as elegant as they come, as impressive as any grand hotel lobby.

The meticulously detailed home took six years to build, and there’s no denying the results are spectacular in the grand, expansive living room, boasting French doors (opening to the back yard) flanking the sand-coloured marble fireplace.

This photo provides some perspective on the dramatically high ceilings in the living room, which is overlooked from the second-storey landing. The stonework offers a regal, somewhat castle-like feel.

Despite the sprawling size of the main living area, the furniture configuration demonstrates how an intimate gathering space can be created in the midst of this otherwise imposing room.

It’s all about wood, and plenty of it, in this elegant wine cellar that boasts storage for numerous bottles of vino, along with seating to comfortably accommodate 10 people for a wine-tasting.

The state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen boasts a massive centre island with cooktop and storage beneath, with an array of seating options providing some informality to a sleek and stunning space.

This shot of the kitchen shows off the elegant criss-cross pattern within the stunning hardwood floors that continue throughout the main floor of the home.

Adjacent to the living room – separated by a unique room divider/shelving system – the stone walls, marble fireplace, gleaming columns, patterned hardwood floor and mid century modern-style furniture work together to create a stunning space for sophisticated relaxation.

The grand staircase in the foyer leads to this landing on the second level, with another staircase leading to the third floor.

The 2,500-square-foot master suite is beyond spacious, boasting an extravagant ensuite bath and two separate dressing rooms, along with a sitting area next to French doors leading out to a private patio.

A cozy sitting area has been set up within the massive master suite, which also features its own fireplace.

The ensuite bathroom adjoining the master bedroom is a real stunner, boasting a freestanding tub and huge walk-in shower. Note the marble floor and dual-sink vanity off in the background.

Three additional bedrooms are located on the second floor (including this one, which has been decorated to suit a young girl). Each of these bedrooms features its own ensuite, as well as a spiral staircase leading to a loft area “for private study purposes.”

A built-in projection TV and sleek-looking recliners populate this elegant screening room, the perfect place for family movie night.

The home also has its own fully equipped gym within a gorgeous space, centred around a floor-to-ceiling window looking out to the sprawling grounds.

Now here’s something you don’t find in the typical prairie home: a huge indoor pool, featuring a diving board and water slide, with a stunning glass peaked roof to flood the room with natural light.

For $11 million, you didn’t think you’d only get ONE pool, did you? There’s also an outdoor pool at the rear of the house to make the most of those gloriously hot Winnipeg summers.

The home was built on a property originally owned by media mogul Izzy Asper. The home has 24 rooms, including a 2,000-square-foot home office, two dens, a recreation room, a games room, a hobby room and five spacious rooms that are described in the listing as “other.”

The home also includes this 1,000-square-foot guest house located at the rear of the riverside back yard, which looks like a pretty sweet space on its own.
