1. Affordable Townhomes
As you shop for a home, you know it’s important to find a home in your price range. Older homes might be a little more affordable, but the problems they have can be expensive to fix. StreetSide’s townhomes are the perfect blend of style and affordability. You get to design the home you want – including all of the most popular modern touches – while sticking within your price range or even below it.
Today’s townhomes are built for privacy. You might be sharing walls with your neighbours, but you won’t be sharing their noise. StreetSide’s building techniques and materials will make your townhome feel every bit as private as a detached home.
2. Flexible Floor Plans
When you choose StreetSide, you have the opportunity to select a design that has the features you want. There are eight different floor plans available in the Desrochers community, so you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. The Bourbon model, for instance, is a two-bedroom home – each with its own ensuite. This works well for those who want a roommate situation while building up some equity. The York, however, is a floor plan that appeals to first time home buyers looking for low monthly payments. It offers 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, an open concept living space and an attached single garage.
Exact details vary between different floor plans, but you’ll find most of StreetSide’s plans have the types of features you want: decks for entertaining, an ensuite in the master bedroom, and an open-concept plan in the main living area. Your life can be quite comfortable in any of these homes.
