Aurora's Renaissance Estates by Ballymore Homes
By on Oct 28, 2008
The Renaissance was an era when culture, art and architecture flourished; a time that was the source of much new beauty that came into the world.
Earlier this year, in the countryside of Aurora, a new Renaissance was born. Not a time, but a place where dreams could be realized and aspirations attained. This place was Renaissance Estates by Ballymore Homes - a private enclave of remarkable two-storeys and bungalows set in an exclusive community behind distinguished stone entrance gates.
The Renaissance has since expanded as new home buyers rushed to the sales office for a chance to live luxuriously in this incredible community. With the tremendous success of Phase 1, the next stage was only a matter of time.
Every home in Phase 2 will honour the Ballymore tradition of building unique and individual homes - 27 in total with a choice of three different lot sizes 140, 160 or 170 feet deep.
"The 85-foot frontage is very unique because all our models are about 70 feet wide," explains Wayne Milbank of Ballymore Homes. "The floor plans are themselves very unique compared to what people are used to seeing. You can't put a 70-foot-wide house on a 50 or 60 foot lot."
A choice of distinguished models is yours for the asking, featuring all clay brick exteriors with accents ranging from turreted corners to Palladian windows. A beautiful sight to grace the quiet corner of Bathurst and Bloomington Sideroad.
Homebuyers will love the spectacular list of features, including covered porches with double-door entries leading into spectacular foyers; 10-foot ceilings in all bungalows; elegant columned living rooms, conservatories and formal dining rooms; magnificent kitchens appointed with custom style cabinetry and bay windowed breakfast areas with island worktops, writing desks and built-in pantries; family rooms with gas fireplaces featuring marble surrounds and painted wood mantels, dramatic staircases, master bedrooms with huge walk-in closets and ensuites and large three-car garages. The list goes on and on!
"We have granite countertop in the kitchen with an undermount sink, natural hardwood in the living room, dining room, family room and main level hallway and all our staircases are natural oak with wrought iron spindles," boasts Milbank. "Typically there are two staircases to the basement - one from the laundry room and one from the main area. A big feature with people."
The homes will range in size from 2,350 square feet for the smallest bungalow all the way up to 4,300 square feet for the largest two-storey. Prices start in the upper $700,000s.
"All the two storeys have four bedrooms with options to go to five for some. Some have two-storey foyers and half of them have two-storey family rooms," Milbank adds. "Meanwhile, the bungalows tend to come in three-bedroom designs."
From exclusive collections of estate homes backing on to golf courses to residences and executive townhomes, Ballymore has always shown a meticulous attention to detail in design and craftsmanship, as well as an unwavering commitment to customer care and satisfaction.
