Flexible floorplans, fascinating design and an inimitable style has elevated Excel Homes above the fray in Edmonton’s new home market. Their latest showhome in the brand-new community of Alces in the southeast serves further proof of their prowess to impress.

The Rosewood is one of Excel Homes’ most popular front-drive garage models, but its inherent flexibility makes it easy to style in a distinctive, memorable manner every time. And the latest showhome proves beyond a doubt that it has the perfect blend of style and sensibility.

“Rosewood is one of our popular front garage home models in Edmonton and the home environment easily flows together seamlessly,” says Kristina Plank, Marketing Manager at Excel Homes. “Homes like this is where we can let our interior decorating be the canvas to accentuate the home.”

The 2,243-square-foot showhome in Alces features three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, and an exquisite basement development that adds 731 square-feet of living space featuring one more bedroom, a flex room, and a rec room.

“The Rosewood is the perfect blend of elegance, functionality, and versatility, crafted for modern family living,” Plank adds.

It is thoughtfully designed for today’s families, and is Built Green Certified giving the home the perfect balance between beauty, practicality, and environmental responsibility.

“From the moment you step into the striking foyer, the Rosewood leaves a lasting impression with its architectural elegance, welcoming ambiance, and seamless flow, creating a home that is both inspiring and comfortable. The open-concept main floor is thoughtfully arranged to enhance both daily living and entertaining,” she says.

Anchored by a Level 2 kitchen, it features 42-inch upper cabinets, crown moulding, dual drawer banks, an oversized island, upgraded modern appliances, a chimney hood fan, and more. The addition of a convenient spice kitchen allows for effortless meal preparation.

The adjoining great room and dining nook are bathed in natural light, overlooking the backyard, creating a connected, inviting space for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Upstairs, the layout prioritizes privacy and comfort. A central bonus room provides a natural separation between the luxurious primary suite complete with a spa-inspired ensuite and expansive walk-in closet and the secondary bedrooms, each offering their own walk-in closet.

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.

The fully developed basement further enhances versatility, featuring a private one-bedroom suite with a side entrance, ideal for multi-generational living or rental opportunities.

Built with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind, the Rosewood’s Built Green Certification underscores a commitment to reduced environmental impact, improved indoor air quality, and long-term energy savings.

The noted flexibility of its design allows buyers to include options like side entrances (their most popular upgrade), main floor bedrooms, spice kitchens and more.

“Its versatile spaces can easily be personalized to suit individual lifestyles, while its bright, modern interior design balances natural, neutral tones with contrasting darker accents. With its careful attention to detail, stylish design, and sustainable construction, the Rosewood truly represents the pinnacle of contemporary family living,” Plank adds.

It has been very warmly received since its opening, especially by young families. “There’s lots of room for everyone to have their own space and grow into the home.”

Alces is one of Edmonton’s most dynamic young communities, and it was a finalist for Best New Community in the 2025 BILD Edmonton Metro awards.

Developed by Cantiro in southeast Edmonton, Alces prioritizes lasting curb appeal through timeless architectural design, lush landscaping, and streetscapes that invite people to slow down and enjoy their surroundings. It’s about designing places where people feel good coming home, where families can thrive, and where the environment supports a high quality of life, the developer says.

“It’s a brand-new community for Excel Homes this year,” Plank says, adding that its pristine location in the southeast makes it a perfect fit for families.

“Alces is an upscale community inspired by nature with homes that are on more spacious lots. it features over 3.5 km of shared pathways, a natural exploration area, a playground for all ages, a bike pump track, and a basketball court. The community is built to foster connections, encourage outdoor interaction and an active lifestyle. Just minutes from Anthony Henday Drive, South Edmonton Common, and The Meadows Rec Center, Alces offers easy access to everything you need.
