This year’s fully furnished Minto Communities Dream Home, which makes up the bulk of the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery $2.55 million grand prize, is a departure from the dream home designed last year, featuring much more traditional styling.
Located on Eaglehead Crescent, the $2-million Minto Communities built home is a Net Zero home, meaning no hydro bills as it produces as much energy as it consumes annually. The CHEO Dream Home is being described as classic, cozy and coastal, as the floor plan makes great use of space and the design includes plenty of light and neutral colours.

The house is part of Minto Communities Canada's subdivision called Potter’s Key and adjoins the Feedmill Creek Conservation area.
