Parade of Homes

Natural beauty abounds in Taylor Farm, where a calm country lifestyle intersects with nearby city convenience. This Headingley community is further enhanced by public artwork that enriches streetscapes and creates memorable landmarks, while also honouring the history of John Taylor — a local family man, teacher, farmer, merchant and politician who was a driving force in the area more than 100 years ago. The subdivision application for Phase 4 of the development is currently moving through the review and approval stages. Construction will be starting on the new wetlands this fall, with underground servicing happening over the winter and finishing up with roadwork next spring. Lots in Phase 4 will be made available for presale opportunities once the necessary approvals are in place and servicing is well underway. Mike Armstrong, operations manager for Qualico Communities, expresses enthusiasm for the upcoming fourth phase of the development. "It's exciting because it not only brings 56 more single-family lots but also three more amenity stormwater retention basin ponds," he says, "as well as another permanent connection to Portage Avenue between a future commercial parcel and Thunder Rapids." The lots in Phase 4 will range in width from 70 to 94 feet, including both park and lake walkout properties. Currently, river lots on Curry Drive are still available. For those interested in getting a first-hand glimpse, Taylor Farm features a must-see selection of show homes available for viewing. Colleen Chaput, marketing manager for Foxridge Homes, welcomes everyone to view their new show home at 82 Fetterly Way — their very first one on display in Taylor Farm. "It will be the ideal family home, with plenty of space at 2,464 square feet with a walkout basement to take advantage of the lake view," Chaput says. "It's really a gorgeous open- concept home design with beautiful finishes. The trades and suppliers that we use really are the best in the business — and it shows." Foxridge Homes has incorporated features specifically for Taylor Farm to achieve the architectural guidelines and take advantage of the large lot sizes. "The minimum house width is 50 feet so we were able to choose one of our larger home concepts, the Palisade, for this lot. Because of the large lot width, we were able to easily add a 34-foot triple-car garage," Chaput says. "Earthy and pastel tones are encouraged to add richness to the streetscape, so we were able to add a rich colour palette to this home." Foxridge Homes is excited to be one of the exclusive builders introducing its home concepts in Taylor Farm, Chaput adds. "The community is absolutely beautiful, with their expansive lots, including some with river access," she says. "And only minutes from the city — restaurants, garden centres and stores, it really has the perfect mix of country living and city convenience."
