Parade of Homes

One key benefit is affordability. "If you built a single-family home of roughly the same square footage you would probably spend $100,000 to $150,000 more, so this offers the Irwin Homes quality finishing at a highly affordable price," Powell says. There are four different floor plans, ranging in size from 1,488 square feet (with two bedrooms and two baths) up to 1,730 square feet (with three bedrooms and two baths). Each townhome has a full basement and an oversized double garage, along with deep driveways for ample parking. Gateway Point has a laundry list of extras: Concrete driveway, covered deck, central air, fully landscaped lot, insulated basement with roughed-in plumbing, and a main-floor laundry room. "The homes offer a high-end six- appliance package that we feel is well above the industry standard," adds Powell. And then there are the fine finishings. "Home buyers meet with the designers to choose their own decorating colour code, including countertops with granite or Caesarstone, customized cabinetry and high-end light fixtures," Powell says. The development has dedicated greenspace and trails, and features a lake. "It's exciting to have raised bungalow luxury townhomes surround the lake because with large basement windows and a walkout basement, it creates a real opportunity for lower-level development," he says. "Those walkouts will be available in a few select units." The plan is to build 33 luxury townhomes in Phase 1 and 10 more in Phase 2. "We're already close to 40 per cent sold and we're not even open yet, so I think that the consumer is really embracing the concept of a luxury bungalow townhome," says Powell. "We'd love to set you up for your own private showing at either of these sites." LAPPING UP LUXURY — Cont'd from page 137 THE DEVELOPMENT HAS DEDICATED GREENSPACE AND TRAILS, AND FEATURES A LAKE.
