Move to greener pastures
There’s definitely something to be said about small towns – neighbours who wave hello, fun summertime festivals, quaint historic homes lining the main street and more.
Smithville, Ontario has retained its small-town charm throughout the years and its beauty and ideal location in the Niagara Peninsula have in recent years attracted a number of builders to the area.
Phelps Homes, an award-winning builder based in Grimsby, is launching Smithville on the Twenty, an exciting collection of homes designed in the popular craftsman style.
The 100-acre site is divided into two communities, North and South, with the idyllic Twenty Mile Creek meandering through the centre and approximately half the land dedicated to greenspace.
“The majority of the homes at Smithville on the Twenty overlook conservation land, parks or the creek,” says Paul Phelps, president of Phelps Homes.
There are a host of home designs to choose from at Smithville on the Twenty. In the South community, all 44 homes in Phase I are single or townhome bungalows and bungalofts. Executive singles with triple car garages on 80-foot lots begin at 2,000 square feet and start at $379,900. Singles on 50-foot lots, range in size from 1,374 to 1,660 square feet and start at $274,900.
Townhomes in the South community range in size from 1,215 to 1,974 square feet and begin at $223,900. This community is ideal for empty-nesters looking to downsize and is perfect for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. Walking trails pass through the community and there are endless activities in the region to keep you busy. Go on a wine tour, hit the links, spend the day shopping in nearby Grimsby or make the short 30 minute drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The North community features 84 executive single bungalow and two storey homes ranging in size from 2,000 to 3,097 square feet. The first phase offers the majority of lots on a private cul-de-sac, perfect for families with children.
Both the North and South communities are architecturally controlled and offer pleasing colour palettes. All homes feature a high level of fine appointments and features, including nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, upgraded trim packages, fully dry-walled and painted garages and 30-year architectural shingles to name just a few. Smithville is located just south of Grimsby on Hwy 20, 15 minutes from the Stoney Creek mountain, where residents can enjoy a host of amenities including Wal-Mart, Fortino’s, restaurants and more.
Phelps Homes, a builder in our region for more than 30 years, is a proud member of the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders Association and the Niagara Home Builders Association, who recognized Phelps as Company of the Year in 2007.
