New opportunit­ies at Arbor Creek

Perfect blend of luxury and function

- JENNIFER JACOBY- SMITH

This spring builders began constructi­on on the final parcel of land in one of Saskatoon’s most desirable neighbourh­oods — Arbor Creek. It was 1996 when constructi­on first began on the subdivisio­n. It remains a popular and establishe­d neighbourh­ood on the east side of the city.

D&S Homes offers buyers a chance to own one of the few new residences available in this older neighbourh­ood.

Their latest show home at 34 Wright Manor has a ton of bonus features. The home boasts 2,550 square feet, blending luxury and family-friendly amenities, in a unique two-storey floor plan.

The best part, according to visitors, is a wonderful location backing onto Arbor Creek Park with a view that is hard not to love.

“The reaction has been fantastic, especially to the view,” says D&S sales rep Ehor Hrycan.

“The backyard faces the park and you couldn’t ask for anything better than that.”

The covered deck with composite boards and glass railings offers the perfect spot for catching up with friends over a cold beverage.

Inside the house, the great room has extra-large windows to take advantage of the view and allow plenty of natural light. A custom tiled floor to ceiling fireplace provides a grand focal point in the great room.

“They love the openness of the main floor with the great room, kitchen and eating area all in one big room,” Hrycan notes.

The gorgeous modern kitchen with a huge island for meal prep will be the chief cook’s dream. A walkthroug­h pantry will make getting groceries put away all the easier. An eating area at the granite topped kitchen island is ideal for quick weekday meals, while the dining room offers extra room for larger crowds.

Upstairs three ample-sized bedrooms have their own walk-in closets for lots of storage space. The upstairs also includes a bonus room that could be used as a den, office or family room.

The master bedroom has heated floors and his and hers floating vanities with a jetted tub and custom tiled shower for pampering and privacy.

The second floor includes laundry with a cheater door to the master bedroom closet for added convenienc­e. There’s also built-in shelving for storage.

As well, the colour of the hardwood flooring gets raves, adds Hrycan. The cool shade of charcoal is not only very versatile, but allows the homeowner to explore brighter colours outside of the traditiona­l earth tones.

“Most people like that because most houses you go into it’s browns. But with this one, that’s the first thing that catches everyone’s eye is the grey hardwood,” says Hrycan.

This executive family home is priced at $979,900. The show home is open for viewing. Call Hrycan at 306361-2430 to schedule a tour.
