Affordable golf course living at The Woods

- JEANNIE ARMSTRONG

Golf course living is an idea that many aspire to, but few think they can afford. North Ridge Developmen­t has brought that dream within affordable reach, with its newest bungalow-style townhome developmen­t: The Woods in Warman, located at 433 Palmer Crescent.

Phase One of The Woods is composed of 12 bungalow and walk-out bungalow townhomes backing onto The Legends Golf Club in Warman. Two additional phases are in the planning stages.

Buyers at The Woods can choose from two different open concept two-bedroom, two-bath floor plans, ranging in size from 1,206 to 1,244 square feet. Each unit comes with an attached double garage and a landscaped front and back yard. Spacious decks are finished in no-maintenanc­e Duradeck flooring with glass panel railings and natural gas barbecue connection­s.

Townhomes at The Woods are priced starting at $379,900. In comparison, current real estate listings reveal that the majority of single family homes adjacent to The Legends are priced well over $700,000.

Phase One of The Woods is adjacent to The Legends’ picturesqu­e 11th fairway. “Half of the homes in Phase One are walk-outs backing onto the course,” says sales consultant Steve Little.

The show home at The Woods is the “Callaway” model, the larger of the two available floor plans. The layout of this townhome is ideal for entertaini­ng friends and family. The inviting foyer extends almost the full width of the main floor, encompassi­ng two large coat closets, a plant ledge, an art niche and a linen closet. At the far end of the foyer is the main floor laundry room.

A dramatic vaulted ceiling adds to the spacious feel of the Callaway’s open concept great room. First stop is the attractive kitchen, which features Shakerstyl­e white upper cabinets and contrastin­g grey textured lower cabinets and a large island, topped with quartz. A corner walk-in pantry offers plenty of storage space. Each townhome comes with six premium appliances.

North Ridge marketing manager Jessica Bonish describes the Callaway model’s decor as one of modern elegance. “We selected a palette of warm greys and bright whites for this show home, then added in mixed metals to bring it fashion forward.” Buyers can personaliz­e their townhomes by choosing from four different colour boards.

The spacious master bedroom has a large ensuite, featuring a walk-in glass-enclosed shower and quartz-topped vanity. The walk-in closet is wardrobe-ready with custom shelving. The floors of both main floor bathrooms are finished with luxury vinyl tile.

The second bedroom on the main floor is equally bright and spacious, with large windows and a big closet with shelving. The room would also make an ideal home office space.

Buyers can opt to double their living space by having North Ridge develop the lower level of their home and finish it to the same high standard as their main floor. The show home features a fully developed basement, with a family room large enough for a pool table, two guest bedrooms and a third full bathroom. An electric fireplace, with a stylish faux wood tile surround, adds cosy warmth to this spacious retreat.

The new show home at The Woods is attracting strong interest from potential buyers, not only for its golf course proximity but also for its location in Warman, says Little. “A lot of people like the idea of living in a smaller community, just a few minutes outside of Saskatoon. Warman has experience­d tremendous growth in recent years and now has so many new amenities. People who live here want to stay here.”

People are also impressed by the superior quality of constructi­on that North Ridge brings to The Woods developmen­t, says Little. That commitment to quality is backed by North Ridge’s proactive Customer Care Warranty Program which includes three comprehens­ive service calls during the first year of possession.

The Woods at Warman is open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m. For viewing by appointmen­t, call Steve Little at (306) 361-3900 or David Leatherdal­e at (306) 2818029.
