15 ROMANCE LANE – CANTERBURY PARK

Builder: Kensington Homes
Selling Price: $279,900 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bi-Level


This 1544 sq. ft. storey and separate upper level master suite is one version of Kensington Homes’ Capetown design. Definitely, no shortage of bedrooms having two on the main level, the master and possibly two more in the lower level.

A two-car attached garage is a feature of this home. When coming in after parking your vehicle, you enter at a door which is side by side with the main entry way. There is a closet right beside both doors.

Two stairs up and two more stairs up and you are in the kitchen – the vaulted kitchen – complete with a five element stove top, a large walk-in pantry with automatic lighting. A very pleasing feature is the double level island which offers a tremendous amount of storage, electrical outlets and two stools on the outward edge where you can chow down.

Opposite the kitchen area, there is an opening leading into a hallway where you will find the two main floor bedrooms with a full three-piece bath in between them and also a linen closet.

When you walk further back from the kitchen, you will find the continuation of the vaulted ceiling from the kitchen into the formal dining room and the Great Room. Quite a majestic effect to have the ‘living’ area rise above the rest of the space. The dining room has a full size table and chairs, large windows and the doorway to the backyard. It faces toward the living room which has even larger windows and is made even more dramatic by them and the furnishings including a huge flat screen television.

Eight stairs up from the kitchen area, you enter the master suite. There is a small landing at the top of those stairs from which you can look down and observe the front entry way. The bedroom is very large with its bay window facing to the front street and made even more special by the padded window box seats and wide window ledge. A great place to sit and read or just look over what’s happening outside. The master also includes a walk-in closet with a pocket door and its own bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The lower level is carpeted and includes a large recreation room space, two rooms which could become bedrooms #4 and #5. In between them is a full three piece bath. Some folks might choose to make one of those rooms an office or hobby room. The utility room has all the wiring and plumbing standing by to hook up a washer and dryer. There even enough room for a pool table besides all the other rooms mentioned.

This is definitely a house where a young family would have room to grow. It’s great that there are nearby schools for those school age children.

11 ROMANCE LANE – CANTERBURY PARK

Builder: Randall Homes
Selling Price: $304,667 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


Randall Homes built this two-storey, 1896 sq. ft. house named “Austin B”. It has a very symmetrical front ‘face’ including a two-car attached garage and a front porch by the main entry way.

When entering the home through the garage, you will find yourself in a nicely appointed laundry room (washer/dryer); including a stainless steel sink and a closet for outdoor clothes and footwear. There is a two piece powder room next door which is handy for the family members coming home and for guests who are visiting in the main floor ‘living’ rooms.

The front foyer is roomy and has a large closet for coats and outerwear. To the side of the foyer is what was set up to be the formal dining room. It is very elegant and spacious with room for a large table and chairs. On the plan picture, this space is labeled as a flex room. However, with windows facing the front street and ample room for furniture; it is easy to see why it was decorated as a formal eating area.

Further down the centre hallway, you will discover a really well laid out kitchen; complete with stainless steel appliances, large pantry (closet), spacious island (in this show home) complete with cupboards underneath and electrical outlets. There is ample space to have an eating area in the kitchen/back door area – a table and 4 chairs. The door leads out to the backyard and its fresh sod.

There is a half-wall divider between the kitchen/eating area and the Great Room. It has shelving on the living room side and plain wood facing the kitchen. There are large windows letting light stream into the living area in the daytime. There are several options from which you can select where and what type of fireplace you would like. It definitely adds a cozy feeling to the room having one.

The upstairs level is divided in half; the master suite taking one (vertical side) of the floor plan and three further bedrooms and a full piece bathroom on the other half. The master bedroom is incredibly roomy and the furniture chosen to display in it very clearly illustrates how grand a space it is. The suite includes a full three piece bathroom and a very generous walk-in closet.

At the top of the stairs to the second floor, there is another full bathroom for the other 3 bedrooms. You do have the option if you choose to build this particular home to make the bedroom closest to the front of the house into an open landing above the foyer with a half wall.

Super nice home for a family; especially since there are several schools in the Canterbury Park area.

This 1685 sq. ft., 2 storey home is “The Daintree” from Broadview Homes.

The front double garage attaches to the home’s laundry room area which also includes a generous coat closet and some storage. There is a powder room right next to the laundry room which can be accessed by family coming into the home through the garage or by guests visiting the ‘living’ area on the first level.

The main entry to the home has a spacious foyer with an ample coat closet and a bench seat right beside it to allow for taking off or putting on of footwear. Just beyond the front hallway are two sets of stairs one to the second floor and one to the lower level. Facing the stairs is the galley style kitchen with black wood cupboards and double stainless steel sinks.
There is a raised breakfast bar that faces inward to the kitchen – right opposite the sinks.

The dining room has large windows facing to the backyard and additional windows could be put in on the adjoining wall. The door to the deck and back yard are close by. From there, you would move right into the Great Room area which is a generous size; approximately 15 x 14 feet. The windows in this room are large and have both blinds and draperies. A fireplace is centred in one wall surrounded by built-in wood shelves and with a wide mantel above to display items. This home also included a large flat screen television above that mantel. A welcoming and nicely appointed living area!

On the second level, there were three bedrooms. The 16 x 14 ft. master was bathed in sunlight by two good sized windows, had excellent storage in a large walk-in closet and its own ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms are quite large as well and have another full bathroom for their use.

Many homes are already occupied in this area and it makes for a nice neighbourhood feeling. Plus, the close proximity of schools from elementary to high school is a big plus for Canterbury Park.
