Excel Homes begins new phase in Vita Crystallina
August 30, 2024
Quality, affordability and, above all, value are the key ideals in home building – especially for the first homeowner market - and those have been the values enshrined by Excel Homes. This excellence again comes to the fore, as the renowned homebuilder opens its latest phase in Vita Crystallina.
The dynamic, young community in northeast Edmonton has become a family-friendly neighbourhood and Excel Homes’ line of stylishly functional front-drive garage and laned homes has upheld this sought-after nature, and buyers have responded.
“We have had success in Vita Crystallina because of our unique, flexible and versatile models, as well as the things we do differently as a builder, such as our buying process that makes it so simple for our customers,” says Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank.
“We offer designer-curated interior selections that can be chosen right from the sales centre, and all our homes are Built Green certified.”
Vita Crystallina is situated on the north end of the Lake District area, which combines a harmonious balance of modern, contemporary living with proximity to quality, already-established attractions.
“Families will expect to live an active lifestyle year-round, and they will appreciate the ease of access to numerous lakes, walking trails, green spaces, parks, shopping districts all within minutes,” Plank says. “We offer homes on both traditional and zero lot lines to suit varying budgets.”
Furthermore, Vita Crystallina connects residents with all of Edmonton with Anthony Henday Drive located 2 minutes away providing easy access.
Upgraded standard features
Excel Homes offers several front-drive garage and laned home models in Vita Crystallina, ranging 1,323 to 2,569 square feet, and starting from the mid $400,000s. Duplex homes will be coming soon.
Each comes with some of the most popular standard features like inviting interiors with professionally curated designer selections and pre-planned options; stylish kitchens with an extensive suite of personalized options; designer baths that include professionally selected plumbing packages, and smart home essentials like Ring Video Doorbells and programmable Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostats.
“Our homes are Built Green certified with an EnerGuide rating and include green initiatives like Energy Star rated appliances, a high-efficiency combo furnace and hot water tank, a smart thermostat, and a video doorbell, plus all homes are third-party blower door tested. We continue to provide best in class services like including legal fees, additional new home warranty and a move in concierge service with Virtuo.”
Plank says there are several options also available that allows buyers to personalize the look and function of the home.
“We offer side entrances in all our homes, and this is one of the most popular upgrades. We also offer a main floor bedroom and full bathroom, as well as developed 1- or 2-bedroom basement suite.”
Best-seller
Excel’s best-seller in Vita Crystallina is The Rosewood, a 2,235-square-foot, four-bedroom plan. “There is so much room for the family to grow into,” Plank says.
This home offers a flex room on the main floor that can be converted into a bedroom, a bonus room on the second floor that separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms, and the option to develop the basement into a 1- or 2-bedroom suite.
The Rosewood features a large statement foyer and the aforementioned flex space that can be utilized as a home gym or an additional bedroom. The open concept main floor boasts a large kitchen and pantry leading into the great room and nook that overlook the backyard.
Upstairs, the central bonus room offers optimal privacy for the primary suite. To complete the second floor is an additional 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom and convenient laundry room. “The Rosewood is functional and versatile, with many pre-planned options to personalize your home to fit your lifestyle,” Plank says.
The more favourable interest rates available now is just one reason to consider buying a house now, she says.
“It might be the best time to buy a home now, because property values are expected to continue to increase as migration to Alberta is at an all-time high. Not to mention rising costs of materials,” Plank says.
“With Excel Homes, you get a home with top notch features and finishes at fantastic value from Excel, you’ll really feel like you’re finally home... at last,” she adds.
