Clement and Irene weren't just looking for a beautiful home; they were looking for a lifestyleone that offered the best in urban living with plenty of nature's best nearby.
The young couple was instantly taken by the incredible way of life Kanaka Creek could provide them and their twin boys.
"We both love the view of the creek," says Irene."The neighbourhood is very friendly, there are lots of kids, and being close to the elementary school is like having a huge playground with a soccer field and baseball diamond right in our own backyard."
The couple not only liked what they saw; the price was right as well. Starting from only $304,900, this is a limited collection of 51 town homes, three and four bedroom homes ranging in size from 1,3502,180 square feet. The residences are nestled in a tranquil neighbourhood, which is located close to Kanaka Creek, with Rieboldt Park, Belle Morse Park and Thomas Haney Park all under a five minute drive away, as well as bike paths and walking trails.
This is your last opportunity to live in a new home that melds the best of urban life with the best that nature has to offer. This is the final phase of Kanaka as construction will be complete at the end of the month. Last month alone, five homes were sold.
"Many of the homes still available offer spacious outdoor patios," says Yosh Kasahara, General Manager, Sales and Marketing for Bluetree Homes.
This spring, you could be like Clement and Irene and the other residents who have already purchased a home at Kanaka and entertain family and friends on your brand new patio.
In addition, Clement and Irene also liked the fact that their new home is within walking distance to Kanaka Creek Elementary, and close to other excellent secondary and post-secondary schools.
Kanaka Creek is also close to numerous family amenities and great urban shopping in central Maple Ridge.
The contemporary, open-concept homes feature laminate hardwood flooring on the main level, gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances and optional engineered stone countertops, 11-feet high ceilings downstairs and oversized decks to enjoy the sunsets and views that stretch all the way to Mount Baker.
Clement went on to say: "We'd originally thought about putting a home theatre in the basement, but with a few books down there, the kids immediately started calling it their library. They love playing there, so I guess the theatre room will have to wait!"
Kasahara says homeowners raving about Kanaka Creek's open and spacious floor plans are echoed over and over again.
"Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek has been one of the great success stories in the local real estate market," he says.
Kasahara went on to say that this townhome project is "a testament to the fact that there will always be people who want to move to a great location close to amenities like parks and schools."
"At Kanaka Creek we can also offer spacious homes that are a fantastic alternative to a single-family houseour buyers tell us they feel like they get so much more for their money here," adds Kasahara.
This contemporary townhome development is in a community where abundant social activity is as accessible as the quiet and solitude one sometimes craves. Kanaka Creek is connected by landscaped common areas, which includes a children's play area in amongst several mature trees that were retained. This is where neighbours interact over a cup of coffee, while watching their children play outside.
Designed in timeless Craftsman-style exterior architecture, with decorative stone, shingle and wood accents, Kanaka Creek projects natural exterior element with all of the modern amenities inside.
Many, like Clement and Irene, are attracted to the fact that Kanaka Creek homes are on a hillside, which provides unobstructed views and additional privacy.
In addition, for those who have to commute into downtown Vancouver, the neighbourhood is close to two West Coast Express stops, with a direct bus drive that gets them there in less than 10 minutes.
"Some of the larger homes in the community, such as the four-bedroom, 2,100 sq. ft. F-Plan has additional features that make them even more functional: a dedicated outdoor parking spot for extra large vehicles, two covered outdoor spaces for all-season entertaining," adds Kasahara.
Many homes are already outfitted with features often considered upgrades such as engineered stone slab counters, traditional shaker-style cabinets, electric fireplace in your living room, to name just a few.
This is a rare opportunity for first time buyers and investors who appreciate the best in comfort and style to purchase a home just a short walk from Maple Ridge.
In addition, the new show home in phase three is now open for viewing. The residences are move-in ready. Learn more.
