Welcome to the Lorne and Marguerite Akins Residence — a municipally designated historic landmark built in 1937. This beautifully preserved Arts and Crafts–style two-storey home blends timeless character with modern updates for today’s living. Originally constructed by Lorne and Marguerite Akins, it offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of St. Albert’s heritage. The current owner has restored the home with care, maintaining its original charm while upgrading essential systems. Modern improvements include all-new PEX plumbing, a fully updated 100-amp electrical service, and energy-efficient vinyl windows selected to preserve the home’s historic look while enhancing comfort and insulation. Every detail reflects a deep respect for the home's legacy, from the preserved millwork to the thoughtfully integrated upgrades. This is more than just a home. It's a living piece of history offering warmth, character, and unmatched architectural beauty.
