RIVER, FARMS ADD A RURAL FEEL
Master ensuites will have either a soaker tub and shower or an oversized shower with a bench, as well as engineered stone countertops, dual undermount sinks and porcelain tile flooring.
Meanwhile, main bathrooms will have tubs with a porcelain tile surround.
Residents will not need stray off site to enjoy the multiple offerings in the community’s Hampton Club, a 12,000-square-foot facility that has (among other things) an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, music rooms, children’s play area, gymnasium and guest suites. Here, residents can soak in the hot tub, enjoy a game of pool with their neighbours or book the enormous great room for a private event.
For Matt Klymchuk, the decision to buy a home at Hampton Cove wasn’t at all difficult.
“I fairly quickly settled on Fairwinds as where I wanted to buy without looking at other options,” says Matt, noting that for his wife Olga, Beaufort Landing will represent a third residence at Hampton Cove.
“Interestingly, my wife lived with her parents in Charterhouse in the first phase of Hampton Cove before we were married last year,” he says.
The attractions are numerous, he adds.
“We like the community feel of Hampton Cove and Ladner, in general, and also the rural feel and being by the river.
“We love Westham Island and visit the bird sanctuary and farms regularly. We also love Deas Island, with its park space and trails, and just generally being by the river and having farm and mountain views.”
Matt, who works in IT, part time at home and part time in downtown Vancouver, also says the location works in his favour.
“Proximity to the (Highway) 99 means we can be downtown outside of peak traffic hours in 30 minutes, evenings and weekends. For trips to the U.S., we are very close as well, 20 minutes to Peace Arch crossing.”
Alam, who notes that some of the Beaufort Landing homes will be move-in ready this fall, echoes those sentiments, both as they relate to the allure of Hampton Cove and of Ladner, which she describes as a picturesque community with “a small-town vibe.”
“This is a very involved community,” she says. “There have been block parties, a golf tournament. And there are lots of kids of all ages. You see lots of people with strollers, lots of people with dogs. It’s a nice community.”
