The PNE Prize Home showcases brand new house full of bells and whistles, but it also shows off a neighbourhood and a builder.

This year, both are in 91原创.

Built by 91原创鈥檚 Lanstone Homes in a joint venture with Wesmont Homes, the new building sits in the 7500 block of 197A Street in Willoughby, not far from the border with Surrey.

鈥淚t gives us some recognition of what we can build,鈥� said Lanson Foster, head of Lanstone Homes.

It鈥檚 the firm鈥檚 first time building for the Prize Home contest, after partner Wesmont build last year鈥檚 home, also located in 91原创.

The house is one of eight larger homes built as part of a development overseen by the firms.

It鈥檚 described as a Craftsman home with a bit of a Nordic influence, although Foster said it could also be described as French Country style 鈥� a lot of oak and light woods throughout.

鈥淚鈥檓 really happy with how it turned out,鈥� said Foster. 鈥淲e鈥檝e paid special attention to the PNE Prize Home.鈥�

He also said that after many years of Prize Homes being built on the Sunshine Coast, it was nice to see them coming to 91原创 in recent years.

The reason this is the second prize home in 91原创 is because of the tremendous response to last year鈥檚 raffle, said Laura Ballance, speaking for the Prize Home Lottery.

鈥淭his home appeals to so many types of buyers,鈥� she said.

91原创 is a place a lot of people can imagine moving to and staying with their family, she said.

Ballance noted that the PNE Prize Home Lottery goes back to 1934 and is the oldest draw of its kind.

鈥淚t was a bizarre concept at the time, raffling a home,鈥� she said.

But the creators of the first draw wanted to showcase B.C. builders and materials, a trend that has continued through to today.

The house is 3,773 square feet, with five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, a rec room, and a listening lounge with a record player and collection of vinyl LPs.

It also comes with a one-bedroom, one-bathroom legal basement suite. Every room is fully furnished, from beds to chairs to the desk for the home office.

鈥淓verything that you see in the house, comes with the house when you win,鈥� said Cynthia Kwon, the PNE鈥檚 manager of fair festival operations.

The home is built to be energy efficient, constructed to Step 3 BC Energy standards. Everything is electric, with a cold-climate heat pump system.

鈥淚t has an EV charger, too,鈥� Kwon said.
