The back lawn at 110 Weaver Drive on a summer evening, low sun casting long shadows across open grass toward mature spruce. — Late summer, looking back from the far end of the lawn toward the deck.

The yard is the reason.

The lot runs to 15,289 sq ft — a pie shape that opens out as it goes back, which is what a cul-de-sac position buys you. Roughly a third of an acre, inside the city, with mature trees on every boundary. Most Edmonton infill sits on a tenth of this.

It is worked into zones rather than left as one flat rectangle: an open lawn big enough for a real game, a flagstone fire pit terrace, a screened gazebo, raised garden beds, and a cedar playhouse under the trees. An app-controlled in-ground sprinkler system keeps all of it green without anybody dragging a hose.

The fire pit

Edmonton summers are short. This is where you spend them.

The fire pit sits in its own real flagstone terrace at the back of the lot, laid level with the lawn so you walk straight onto it. It is far enough from the house that a late fire does not carry into the bedrooms, and close enough that nobody has to walk far with drinks and s'mores from the kitchen.

The gazebo is a few steps away, screened and wired, which is what makes the terrace work in August as well as June. Summer sunsets here run past ten o'clock.

The original hand-drawn English country garden plan for the property, a pen drawing of curved beds and planting circles annotated with species. — The original planting plan. The beds, the curved paths and the fire pit circle are all on it.

The garden was drawn before it was planted.

This is not a yard that arrived by accident. It was laid out to a commissioned English country garden plan — curved beds, layered planting, sight lines that hide the fences and pull the eye to the trees at the back.

Thirty years on, the planting has filled in the way the drawing intended: mature spruce and poplar along the boundary, flowering shrubs through the middle, raised vegetable beds by the gazebo. It is the difference between a new build's sod and something that took decades.

Raised garden beds in flower and curved stone paths winding through planted borders toward the gazebo.

The ravine

The trail system starts where the cul-de-sac ends.

The Wedgwood Creek ravine runs along the edge of the neighbourhood, and the access sits a few steps from the end of the street. The City has recently put a multi-million dollar upgrade through this trail system.

From there it connects into Edmonton's river valley network — the largest urban parkland in Canada. The river itself is a 20 to 30 minute walk. This is a walkability number that gets used every day rather than quoted once at a showing.

Built from an award-winning drawing.

The house was custom built in 1992 to an architectural design taken from a U.S. design magazine. Thirty-four years on, the decisions it made about light still hold.

Seven skylights and vaulted ceilings

The siting of the house on the lot, the vaults over the main floor and kitchen, and seven skylights were all drawn to pull daylight deep into the plan through the day. In an Edmonton winter that is not a decorative choice.

A main-floor primary

Rare in a two storey of this size. Generous in scale, with garden doors straight onto the deck and a five-piece spa ensuite behind it.

Rooms that watch each other

Two upstairs bedrooms were positioned for morning light and linked by a loft homework nook, so the children's floor stays connected rather than shut away down a corridor.

A Romeo and Juliet balcony

Shared between two of the upper bedrooms — the kind of detail a production build does not get near.

And a secret room

A child-height door in one of the upper bedrooms opens into a hidden room tucked under the roofline. Every visiting child finds it inside a minute. None of them forget it.

The parts nobody photographs.

A 1992 house that has been kept up rather than caught up. It was taken back to the studs in places during a major 2014 renovation, and the mechanical has been renewed since. A pre-listing inspection was completed in March 2026 and the report is available on request.

The 2014 renovation

Not a cosmetic refresh. The second floor framing was redesigned around an engineered LVL beam system — a 4-ply 1.75″ × 11.25″ 2.0E beam on engineered joist hangers — to structural drawings by IBI Group, stamped by an Alberta-licensed professional engineer. Those drawings are on file.

And through the house

Kitchen cabinets professionally refaced. Bath and ensuite vanities and countertops replaced. The multi-jet shower system, the built-in speakers and the intercom all went in the same year.

Checked, not assumed

The March 2026 pre-listing inspection by Global Property Inspections found the structure fully sound with no deficiencies. Thermal imaging confirmed no moisture intrusion through the original cedar shake roof. Warranty documentation for the windows, doors, furnaces, water heaters and flooring is on file, along with the stamped engineering report.

An association that actually does something.

The Wedgewood Ravine HOA runs at $350 a year. For a mature Edmonton neighbourhood that is close to nothing, and the list it covers is not nothing.
