A former lottery home that functions as beautifully as it looks

At the edge of Langdale in Windermere, where the rhythm of city life slows and green spaces stretch wide, a former Caritas Lottery Grand Prize Home stands as a stunning expression of thoughtful design and everyday luxury. With over 4,300 square feet of expertly finished living space, the home exudes quiet confidence. Every detail feels intentional: from the west-facing yard that allows sunshine to flood the interior with natural light, to the floating, wood-and-metal staircase that visually anchors the main floor without interrupting its flow.

The heart of the home is the kitchen—an entertainer’s dream with a two-tiered island, walk-in pantry, and a suite of luxury appliances. A sleek, double-sided fireplace connects this space to the great room, creating warmth and continuity across zones.

Just off the main living area, between the back of the house and the formal dining space, lies a cozy, library-style retreat, perfect for quiet evenings or curling up with a book. When it’s time to take the party outdoors, the covered deck offers a built-in BBQ, cooktop, and views of the landscaped yard backing onto green space, ideal for late-summer dinners and sunset cocktails.

A private owner’s suite occupies the entire top floor. A soaker tub, double-sided fireplace, walk-in shower, and direct access to a private, west-facing balcony complete a spa-inspired ensuite; a retreat built for slow mornings and quiet evenings.

One of the most distinctive features of the house is the reverse walkout design; a unique layout where the walkout basement sits slightly sunken, still flooded with natural light, but offers the coziness and seclusion that make lower levels so appealing. Down the floating staircase, the basement is fully equipped with a theatre room, home gym, bar, and two additional bedrooms (each with a walk-in closet).

A second laundry room and a covered patio provide convenience and flexibility. Add to that the oversized triple-car garage (complete with epoxy floors, built-in storage, and hot/cold taps), in-floor heating, A/C, built-in speakers, and the balance of a structural warranty, and you begin to appreciate the many wonderful aspects of this home. 

Though the layout may not cater to a traditional, growing family, it’s a perfect fit for those with older children or a household on the cusp of becoming empty nesters. It’s a home that respects the need for both connection and solitude. Tucked away, but still close to bountiful amenities, this home is a blend of refined design and everyday comfort—a rare offering in one of Windermere’s most peaceful corners.

Located at 672 180 Street SW, this property is represented by Adam Dirksen through Rimrock Real Estate.
