‘‘It’s extremely important for buyers to see and touch their new home,’’ McNeill says.
“Buyers today are very savvy: they can appreciate quality construction and finishes. Seeing their suite firsthand gives buyers at Edgebrook the confidence in the completion of their new home. New buyers and buyers with a lot of experience appreciate certainty, quality and the value offered here.’’
A two-bedroom show home is also proving a convincing sales aid.
“Everything you see is standard,’’ Bull says. ‘‘Purchasers love that. They want to know the costs. The granite is standard, the stainless steel appliances, the ceramic backsplash, the in-suite laundry, the American Standard faucets.’’
The granite countertops are three-quarter inch thick and are not only in the kitchen but in all of the bathrooms. (The larger apartments have two full bathrooms). The developer has also placed a water tank in each of the homes so owners can control their own costs. The homes are heated by electric baseboard and there’s also an electric fireplace in the living room.
All of the homes have nine foot ceilings; the homes on the top floor, 14-foot, vaulted ceilings.
“Buyers love the height of the ceilings, the large windows and brightness, the finishes and no hidden upgrades,” Bull says. The interiors are finished in either a walnut or almond colour scheme with laminate wide-plank hardwood flooring on the main, ceramic tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms and carpeting in the bedrooms. All of the homes, with the exception of four, have private outdoor spaces. Only four of the residences share a patio divider.
There are 18 floor plans to choose from, meaning there’s something for everyone.
Ground-floor residences all have individual entrances with a landscaped garden and wrought-iron gate as well as alarm systems.
