Three reasons to love Geranium's adult-lifestyle community – Courts of Canterbury in Port Perry
March 14, 2021
Geranium’s award-winning Courts of Canterbury is a premier adult-lifestyle community nestled in the heart of Port Perry, and has been drawing interest from potential homebuyers across the province.
The town of Port Perry itself is among the top three reasons recent homeowners chose Courts of Canterbury for their right-sizing move. The historic Main Street offers boutique shops and convenient services, such as banking, meat shops, bakeries, a cheese shop and a fine array of dining options. Residents of the town also enjoy the beautiful lakefront, offering on-water activities and a central marina. The waterfront trail is a pleasant 20-minute stroll and brief bicycle ride from Courts of Canterbury to downtown.
The town also has a variety of recreation activities, such as fishing, hiking and winter sports at nearby ski hills, as well as a robust arts and theatre community. With a population of slightly more than 9,500, Port Perry is small-town living with the amenities of a much larger town or city, including the local Lakeridge Health hospital, which provides excellent and friendly personal care from a central location.
Imaginative designs
Courts of Canterbury residents Lynette and Dave Scott moved into their new bungalow last October, and love Port Perry’s convenient location, situated midway between Toronto and cottage country. Dave’s occupation requires him to be on the road. “I’m pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to reach Hwy. 407 using the direct route from home via Hwy. 115,” he says. “I can also quickly connect to Hwy. 400 for travelling to appointments north and south, making location a prime reason to move.”
The second reason is Geranium’s imaginative bungalow and bungalow-loft designs, providing choices for purchasers to find a home that is perfect for their way of living and has led to a complete sell-out of the first phase.
New residents Kelly Cairns and Jamie Bell describe what sold them on Courts of Canterbury: “The Cavendish design has everything we need. It is bright and full of light, and it’s all on one floor, which is perfect for us.”
Now selling, Phase 2 offers even more options for those seeking a freer, easier lifestyle. The selection of homes range in size from 1,423 to 2,587 sq. ft. on 42- and 50-ft. lots, with two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts, modern open-concept living spaces, a main floor master bedroom retreat and deluxe ensuite bathroom, convenient main floor laundry and a double-car garage.
Luxurious features
The third reason, but certainly not the least, is the luxurious features and finishes. The Cairns & Bell family and the Scotts were extremely impressed with the excellent standard finishes included in their home. Features include nine-ft. ceiling heights and soaring windows on the main floor; kitchens with beautiful cabinetry and elegant granite or quartz stone countertops; contemporary ceramic tile and exceptionally durable pre-finished Torlys laminate flooring. Homeowners also enjoy the long-lasting and energy-saving advantages of Geranium’s stringent construction methods and materials that exceed Ontario’s Building Code.
All Courts of Canterbury homes are delivered Greywater-ready. Buying a home that is newly constructed provides peace-of-mind, with reduced maintenance requirements and added protection through Tarion Warranty Corp.
Cradled in an established, mature setting, Courts of Canterbury includes membership in the residents-only Canterbury Commons’ clubhouse. Here, homeowners can swim laps in the outdoor pool, participate in a multitude of social and fitness activities, and join planned community excursions.
Homebuyers will also have confidence knowing that they are purchasing from a builder that has a well-earned reputation. Since 1977, Geranium has welcomed more than 8,500 families to its new home communities.
