Northeast Room, With A View ���We���ve tried to make it much easier for someone to get into a single family home��� Cont���d from page 125 At present there are three builders in the area ��� Ventura Custom Homes, Randall Homes and Qualico Homes. Randall Homes��� Parade of Homes show model, the two-storey, 1,834-square-foot Austin Country at 3 Cloverdale Cres., puts a contemporary twist on comfort, with four bedrooms and two and a half baths, plus an open-plan main floor that���s perfect for busy families. Residents can share quality time in the spacious kitchen, which features a walk-in pantry and islands overlooking the great room, then escape to the sanctuary of the second-floor master suite, with its own walk-in closet and master bath. Qualico Homes��� Wheatland show model, The Tofino at 5 Cloverdale Cres., focuses on transitional space and flow, with an L-shaped kitchen/dining/great room combo and a super convenient pass-through pantry. The latter provides kitchen access directly from the main floor mudroom near the garage entrance, making it a snap to carry groceries and other items from the car. The 2,041-square-foot home���s second floor features three bedrooms, two walk-in 126 Parade of Homes Spring 2013 closets and two baths, including a stoneand-ceramic ensuite just off the equally serene master bedroom, and there���s a kickout workspace area in the garage, plus a screened pine porch in the back. Ventura Custom Homes has two show homes in the area, including the Newbury at 7 Cloverdale Cres. The 1,668-square-foot bungalow balances form and function. Its floor plan includes a formal dining room with cantilevered alcove ��� perfect for a buffet or china hutch ��� along with an island kitchen and dinette area with patio doors and 10-foot ceilings and gas fireplace in the ��ber-spacious great room. Upstairs, you���ll find two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including an expansive master with equally sizeable ensuite. ���The walk-in closet is huge in the master bedroom, which is important to a lot of our female clients,��� says Arin Comack, Assistant General Manager at Ventura Custom Homes. ���It���s also nice that it has a main floor laundry, which is a selling point for a lot of people. No one wants to go downstairs to do laundry any more.���
