Keswick · Southwest Edmonton
The ravine is the back yard.
An 11,983 sq ft walkout lot inside The Banks, a gated enclave of 23 estate homes on the river valley edge.
An 11,983 sq ft walkout lot inside The Banks, a gated enclave of 23 estate homes on the river valley edge.
This is one of the wider building envelopes left in The Banks. The surveyed pocket runs 19.07 m across and roughly 34 m deep, which is enough room for a four bay garage and a full rear terrace without fighting the side yards.
Grades fall away toward the rear, so the lot takes a walkout naturally rather than needing engineered fill. Behind the back line sits a walkway and a 10 metre right of way, then environmental reserve. Nothing gets built there.
Drawn from the Stantec Geomatics plot plan. Dimensions are the surveyed figures, shown to scale. Confirm final siting with the design consultant before permit.
Hendriks Pointe sits at the end of Keswick Boulevard, wrapped on three sides by ravine and reserve. The homes going up here run well past two and a half million.
Filmed over the lot and the surrounding valley.
The architectural guidelines set a floor on quality, not a house style. Plans go to the design consultant before the City sees them.
The guidelines name ten acceptable directions and judge each home on how well it commits to the one you pick.
A triple garage is the floor and four is common. At least one bay has to step out from the others so the front elevation reads as a house rather than a wall of doors.
Smooth acrylic stucco is preferred, masonry is encouraged and has to wrap the corners. Vinyl siding and vinyl trim are not permitted anywhere on the home.
Colour schemes are approved individually. Earth tones are encouraged, pastels are out, and bold colour is welcome as an accent.
Because these lots are seen from the valley, back elevations carry the same materials and window style as the front. Decks are built with the house rather than added later, on 12 inch clad columns that run from grade to the railing. Three storey rear elevations are allowed where the massing is articulated.
The lot backs onto reserve that feeds straight into the North Saskatchewan trail system.
Windermere Golf and Country Club is a short drive north along the valley rim.
Ponds, playgrounds and walking paths run through Keswick and connect back to the reserve.
Shopping, dining, schools and the Anthony Henday are all inside a short drive of the gate.
