🌿 A Peaceful Retreat, Minutes From Everything

Imagine living surrounded by mature trees, where birds are singing, leaves are rustling, and the peaceful feeling of nature is part of everyday life.

Welcome to 125 Salme Drive, tucked away in an exclusive, quiet pocket of St. Vital where beautiful mid-century homes are nestled amongst the trees and neighbours put down roots for generations.

Here, you can enjoy the feeling of living in the forest without giving up the conveniences of city life. Parks and the river are just steps from your front door, while schools, shopping, restaurants and everyday amenities are only minutes away.

It's a rare combination of privacy, nature and location, and one that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A beautiful wall of updated east-facing windows brings the outdoors in, filling the space with natural light and offering gorgeous views of the surrounding greenery.
