Home nails timeless ‘wow’ factor
Delonix presents elegant, spacious Holmes Approved show home in Evergreen
In meeting anyone for the first time you always want to put your best foot forward. Delonix Homes has done exactly that in the entrance of their newest show home located at 142 Boykowich Bend in Evergreen.
The entrance is framed by elegant ceramic tile flooring, a twostorey feature wall with wood accents, and topped by a beautiful chandelier in black to draw the eye upward.
“The key feature on this home was to really create a timeless ‘wow ’ factor when you walked in,” says Delonix Homes president Daryl Shannon.
A powder room just off the entrance gets a bit of spunk from wood accents on the wall and a hexagonal patterned tile floor with pedestal sink. Shannon says the goal is to add a little “personality” to every powder room.
At 1,680 square feet over two floors, this home is appointed with all of the features buyers are looking for — tiled front entrance, open concept living area, oversized island, fireplace, tile backsplash, and a generous owners’ suite. But it’s what the buyer can’t necessary see or notice that brings Shannon the most satisfaction.
Recently, the company became part of the Holmes Approved Homes program. The process is extensive and requires comprehensive two-hour inspections by a group from Mike Holmes’ team.
“They are totally 100 per cent devoted to the quality of the build and that’s what really interested us,” says Shannon. “Not only do we get our product scrutinized by Mike Holmes’, but we are able to better ourselves as a builder. That is an exceptional value for someone looking for a new house.”
Earlier this year, the company also took home four awards from the Saskatoon and Region Home Builders’ Association Bridges Awards.
The kitchen features modern cabinets in white and black, and the pantry is outfitted with custom sturdy shelving to accommodate the heaviest mixers, not to mention a full high-end Whirlpool appliance package.
The living space is punctuated by a fireplace with a stunning fourinch maple mantle, again demonstrating a timeless elegance.
Upstairs the roomy master bedroom offers plenty of light and a pampering ensuite with two sinks, a make up counter, and large shower.
The idea for the ensuite came from feedback they noticed from survey results published by Avid Ratings. It appeared most buyers weren’t too interested in a tub in the master ensuite. As a result, the company has opted for showers only in the ensuite, leaving more room for storage, an extra sink or as in this show home, a makeup table.
