The display suite at Village Junction on Stradbrook Avenue is a one-bedroom plus den with nine-foot ceilings and standard finishes that include thermofoil cabinets, vinyl plank flooring and stainless steel appliances. “The design theme is hip and modern, and the lay- outs are bright, open and maximize space beauti- fully,” Hirsch says. “You get cool features like sliding barn doors on bedrooms, yet the suites are very func- tional. You get a good-sized laundry/storage room, a den that’s perfect for either a home office or guest bedroom, and dual-pane sliding patio doors that lead to your own private balconies.”
Irwin Homes is bringing affordable style to the table in a big way with two infill developments — The Woods at Creek Bend in south St. Vital and The Allure in St. Norbert. Irwin Homes president Andrew Koop says he was elated to find a 2.5-acre wooded lot tucked away off Creek Bend Road just north of the Perimeter, where 41 units in Phase 1 and 42 units in Phase II at The Woods feature two-bedroom de- signs ranging from 1,100-1,200 square feet. “The complex is a bit off the beaten path, so you get beautiful views and are surrounded by trees and nature. At the same time, the suites feature a func- tional open-concept floor plan, beauti- ful finishes — wide-plank hardwoods, cappuccino maple cabinets, off-white quartz countertops and white subway- tile backsplashes. You’re surrounded by nature outside, and can enjoy a beautiful, functional interior inside.” Just south of the Perimeter, a 1.8-acre infill lot on Pembina Highway proved to be an ideal location for The Allure con- dominiums. With 64 suites in two phases, The Allure’s buildings feature a distinctive French look, and back on to a countrified setting.
