There’s nothing like an over-sized palladium window or second floor balcony to take in views of the Niagara Escarpment and surrounding communities. The location of Southwind, a new Homes by DeSantis development, offers the views and the home designs offer the architectural options.
Gabriel DeSantis describes the location within an existing upper Stoney Creek neighbourhood as “fabulous” with all amenities in place, from schools and parks to shopping. The quiet cul-de-sac situated on the escarpment, is just minutes from the QEW and the Red Hill Expressway. A new super centre is within walking distance.
The freehold townhomes, starting at $220,000, make this development ideal for first-time home buyers. Coupled with low interest rates and exclusive financing offered by Homes by DeSantis, the carrying cost can be as low as $750 a month, DeSantis says. At 1,450 square-feet, the entry-level homes sit on a 20-foot envelope and have a 10 by 20-foot single-car garage.
“If you are a first-time home buyer, the freehold townhome is the best product to get into. It’s the most affordable and it’s where people can start building equity,” suggests DeSantis. He adds that empty nesters are downsizing to properties like these, putting money in the bank and capitalizing on an investment at an affordable price.
Southwind also features detached family homes from 1,700 to 2,400 square-feet on 30- and 36-foot lots. All homes boast 9-foot ceilings and some feature a second-floor balcony, exterior stone accents, pillars and over-sized palladium windows. Floor plans reflect both traditional and open concept designs with large eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, en-suite baths and covered porches. According to DeSantis, many of these design features are the result of feedback from homeowners.
Based on the affordability of the homes, he isn’t surprised that they are “selling extremely well “. Buyers are looking forward to a move-in date sometime this fall.
