Tour a one-of-a-kind model home

- By Lisa Fattori

Situated high on a hill, with breathtaki­ng views of the surroundin­g Caledon countrysid­e is a luxuriousl­y appointed model home that is now offered for sale. The home is one of three currently remaining at Batavia Homes’ enclave called Nature’s Landing — an exclusive neighbourh­ood of only 15 executive homes on one-acre lots. Backing onto pristine conservati­on lands, the $1.55 million home is move-in ready, with a profession­ally decorated interior, complete with a soothing palette of colours, opulent upgrades, and high-end kitchen appliances. Interested purchasers are invited to attend an open house of the model home this Saturday and Sunday, September 26-27, from noon to 4 p.m.

“This is a 4,000-square-foot home with a finished lower level that adds another 2,500 square feet of living space,” says Batavia Homes president, Greg De Freitas. “We also have two other models available and can custom finish the interiors to suite the personal preference­s of homebuyers. This weekend we’re hosting an open house, so people can come and tour the home and see all of the beautiful features and upgrades that are included.”

This one-of-a-kind home is the St. Lucia model, a stunning three-bedroom bungalow with loft design, which has an all-brick exterior with stone and stucco accents. Design highlights include a foyer with an 11-foot vaulted ceiling and a large great room, also with a vaulted ceiling, and a gas fireplace with a granite mantle and built-in shelving on each side.

The kitchen is open to the great room and includes a centre island and servery with a walk-in pantry. The dark hardwood floors showcase white cabinetry with extended uppers, valance lighting and crown molding. Upgrades include granite and Caesarston­e countertop­s and stainless steel appliances, including a builtin oven with warming drawer, counter top cook-top, built-in microwave and double refrigerat­or and freezer.

Exquisite craftsmans­hip is evident throughout the home, from the tray ceiling in the dining room and master bedroom to the gleaming hardwood floors throughout, with the exception of two other bedrooms that are finished in upgraded broadloom. The master bedroom has his-and-her walk-in closets and a spa-inspired ensuite complete with double sinks, a free-standing oval tub and separate all-glass shower stall.

This home also offers several convenienc­es, including a rear covered porch and a main-floor laundry room with access a three-car garage. The loft is perfect as a guest room or home office and includes fireplace and a four-piece washroom. Designed for entertaini­ng, the fully finished lower level includes a games room with a wet bar that has a Caeserston­e countertop, a refrigerat­or and a wine fridge. There are two seating areas, one with a fireplace and TV, a separate exercise room, two cold cellars and a three-piece bathroom. As a walk-out basement, the lower level is flooded with natural light and has 8-1/2 ft. ceilings with pot lights throughout.

Located on the border of Orangevill­e and Caledon, Nature’s Landing is just five minutes from the great amenities and attraction­s of Orangevill­e, including ample shopping and restaurant­s, theatre, art galleries and a farmer’s market. There are excellent golf courses in the area and residents can explore the Credit Valley and Caledon Lake Forest Conservati­on Areas right at their back door.

“These homes are just 20 minutes from Brampton so people are also close to bigcity amenities, and it isn’t far to commute,” De Freitas says. “Someone working in Brampton can live in a profession­ally decorated executive home that backs onto conservati­on lands. Here, you’re living in the country but are close to every amenity you could possible want.”

Tour the St. Lucia model home this Saturday and Sunday, (Sept. 26-27), from noon to 4 p.m. For more informatio­n, call 519-215-6584 or visit www. bataviahom­es.ca. The model home is located at 3 Nature’s Landing Drive, East Garafraxa.
