Toronto sun-New Homes & Condominiums
February 15 & 17, 2008

Terracotta Village is Heathwood Homes’ new community of condominium townhomes at Mavis Road and Highway 407-a convenient GTA locale.  The community has already had an overwhelming response for that reason and the fact that these townhomes come completely finished.  With prices starting at only $298,900, this community offers attractive value.
“Of course, Mavis and 407 is handy for commuters,” says Bob Finnigan, principal and COO of housing for Heathwood Homes, “but Terracotta Village’s popularity has to do with more than location and the fact that these townhomes have finished basements.  We take our motto- Home at Last ® -seriously and we’ve put together a luxurious standard package that includes granite kitchen countertops, five appliances, 42-inch extended kitchen cabinetry, 9-foot main-floor ceilings, central air conditioning and Energy Star qualification.  Purchasers can even choose stainless steel for their three kitchen appliances as a standard feature.  This is bang for the buck when it comes to townhomes in any area of the GTA.”
Terracotta Village is literally one minute from Highway 407, just a few minutes from Highways 401, 410, 403, and 427 and the Meadowvale GO station and is close to the Credit Valley.  The community is surrounded by amenities including golf courses, schools, conservation land, parks and the Credit Valley and Heartland Town Centres.  Also, if you work at any of the many corporate offices in Meadowvale, you are only five minutes away.  Everything today’s busy professionals and families need is within a short drive.
IN addition, Terracotta Village will have its own landscaped park, pond, and walking trails.  This architecturally controlled neighbourhood is a true enclave with a head-turning entry that includes a unique water feature.  The exteriors of the townhomes will be constructed from clay brick, stone, siding and other attractive materials.  Among the architectural points of interest are steeply pitched gables, columned covered porches and a multitude of windows.
The open-concept interiors are well laid out with spacious rooms and plenty of natural light from those Energy Star-rated windows.  Gracious appointments also include pre-finished oak-strip hardwood flooring in the great room or living/dining rooms (as per plan), oak pickets and handrail in a natural finish and ceramics in the foyer and laundry area.  The Energy Star features will save on energy costs and also enhance families’ air quality and comfort.  And, of course, with the finished lower level, purchasers avoid the hassle of renovation in the future.
One of the favourite designs here is the 2,046-square-foot Sicilia.  The main level comprises an open-concept great room and dining area, as well as a country kitchen with a raised breakfast bar.  Purchasers may add an optional gas fireplace in the country kitchen or great room, depending on whether they choose the standard layout or one of the two alternate layouts available.  The stacked washer/dryer and the powder room are also located on this level.  ON the second floor, the master bedroom features two closets and a three-piece ensuite.  The other two bedrooms share the main three-piece bath.  The lower level in the Sicilia includes the family room, which offers access to the backyard through a patio door, plus a three-piece rough-in bath.
Visitors can tour the Sicilia model home to fully appreciate Heathwood Homes’ reputation for excellence built on a foundation of more than 20 years of fine home building.  The company enjoys a substantial amount of repeat and referral business, which is a testament to its quality design, craftsmanship and customer commitment.
