CARSON FEELS LIKE SMALLER COMMUNITY

-

Speaking of garages, many of them at Carson can fit two cars side-by-side, a fact much appreciate­d by Farzeen Mawji and his partner, Ryan Cuillerier, who have just moved into their new home in the developmen­t.

“We like that our home is wider than a typical townhouse,” said Mawji.

“The quality of light is great, and the living area overlooks a nice open space with trees. Our windows are east-west — there’s this wonderful warm glow and we get a bit of the evening sunset.”

“The neighbourh­ood is very well connected,” Mawji added. “Everything we need from a living perspectiv­e is in Surrey — lots of great restaurant­s and grocery stores. It’s all nearby.”

“Grandview Heights is definitely a growing neighbourh­ood with a big pedestrian focus,” said Davidson. “There’s a downtown feel, but it’s still a very family-friendly place to be. There are lots of trails in the area and you can obviously walk to restaurant­s and shops as well.”

As for the homes themselves, Davidson said they’re smarter than most. They include Telus Smarthome automation systems and Mawji was particular­ly pleased to be able to get notificati­ons on his phone when the washer and dryer are done. “They seemed to have chosen premium finishing as well and it feels great,” he said. “We’ve only just moved in and there’s still some unpacking for us to do but it already feels like home. They’ve done a really nice job and as you live in it you notice more and more details.”

Kitchens at Carson feature flat-panel cabinetry with softclose doors and drawers, polished quartz backsplash­es and countertop­s, full-height pantries and undermount­ed double-bowl stainless-steel sinks. The appliance packages are by LG and include counter-depth french-door refrigerat­ors and freezers with ice and water dispensers, gas ranges and convection ovens.

Bathrooms come with imported porcelain tile flooring, flat-panel cabinetry, frameless glass showers with quartz wall tiles, dual undermount sinks and quartz countertop­s.

Second bathrooms feature deep soaker tubs with oversized porcelain tile surrounds, undermount

sinks, vanity mirrors and dual-flush toilets. “Carson has that intimate and boutique feel to it versus a big complex with 100 or 200 homes,” said Davidson. “You’ll get to know your neighbours more and you’re not going to have all that extra traffic. The other thing with a small community like this is that there won’t be years of constructi­on right on your doorstep.” Homes at Carson have either three bedrooms or three bedrooms and a den. They range in size from 1,361 to 1,528 square feet and are priced from $669,900.

“It’s just great to have a brandnew place with all the new appliances and everything else,” said Mawji. “It just feels like a very well-built home.”
