Townhomes are good forever homes

Builders are responding to discerning buyers who have come to realize a townhome can be their forever home. Growing a family through generations requires a level of adaptability, and builders are responding. With creative planning and forward-thinking design, townhouse complexes often present a selection of homes offering a variety of floorplans within a community setting of added lifestyle benefits.

Looking at the development built by HAVAN member Greenwood Properties Ltd, it is easy to forget one is in a townhome.

Nestled up against Seigel Creek in Maple Ridge, 15 Cape Cod-inspired townhomes reside in a mix of duplex, triplex and quadplexes, accessible by a private lane. There are only four buildings yielding an impressive eight end units that celebrate the convenience of townhome living while feeling like detached homes.

Unit #1, a three storey, two- to four-bedroom, 1,917 sq. ft. home is designed with modern space that is functional and open in concept to reflect the way families live today. Nine-ft. high ceilings, recessed lighting and oversized windows drench West Coast days with natural light.

Double garages provide ample storage for hockey and camping gear. Basements offer flex space for a possible rec room, home office or in-law suite. Master bedrooms are “king-sized” with a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The standard appliance package is already upgraded, featuring stainless steel Kitchen-Aid products and the heat recovery system (HRV) is standard in all units, creating healthy indoor environments while reducing energy costs.

Exteriors boast quality-first materials of Hardie shingle and brick façade. Private fenced-in patios, roughed-in for gas BBQ’s, with quaint yards are supplemented by the project’s park-like landscape features and extensive greenbelt surroundings.

As you shop for your new home, take note of a unit’s ability to adapt to your lifestyle today, tomorrow and 20 years from now. Then walk around the complex and take time to observe the overall community plan and added benefits, noting the location within the surrounding neighbourhood.
