Blending timeless design with quality craftsmanship, this beautiful 1,492-square-foot home built by Emjay Homes showcases how a thoughtfully designed Ready-to-Move (RTM) home can offer both efficiency and exceptional style.
Constructed in Austin, Manitoba, the home was carefully built as an RTM before being transported to its permanent location. Once on site, the team completed the project by attaching the spacious two-car garage, creating a seamless finished product that feels every bit like a traditional custom-built home.
The home’s exterior immediately captures attention with its classic board and batten design, finished in durable CanExel siding. Humphrey triple-pane Low-E argon windows not only complement the modern farmhouse aesthetic but also provide outstanding energy efficiency and year-round comfort.
Inside, every detail was selected to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Durable vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the home, providing the perfect foundation for everyday living. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring beautifully crafted custom-painted cabinetry paired with a striking stained white oak island that adds warmth and character. Elegant quartz countertops complete the space, offering both beauty and durability for busy family life.
Throughout the home, Benjamin Moore’s Gray Owl paint colour creates a soft, timeless backdrop that enhances the abundance of natural light while allowing the carefully chosen finishes to shine.
Practicality was equally important in the design. The laundry room features custom built-in cabinetry that maximizes storage while maintaining the home’s clean, cohesive look.
One of the home’s standout features is the inviting propane fireplace in the living area. Designed as a focal point, it is finished with a custom-crafted mantel by Prairie Barnwood of Morden, Manitoba. Surrounded by classic brick and accented with shiplap, the fireplace brings warmth, texture and rustic charm to the space, creating the perfect gathering place for family and friends.
From its thoughtfully designed layout to its carefully selected finishes, this Emjay Homes project reflects the company’s commitment to quality construction and personalized craftsmanship. It’s a home that balances modern functionality with timeless design; built to be enjoyed for generations.
