Retired fire captain Joe Rae was definitely not ready for condo living. Also, he asked his wife Barb, where would he store his Harley motorcycle? However, within minutes of visiting Maple Ridge’s newest waterfront project, Reflections, Joe had changed his tune.
“OMG, it had everything we wanted and the workmanship was amazing,” says Joe. “I was worried about my toys but we were able to purchase an enclosed garage … we signed up right away.”
“Falcon Homes has great trades and the finishings couldn’t be finer,” he adds. “To top it off, the price and the views are incredible. We really scored big! Everything we want is at our fingertips, including the West Coast Express Station and great dining at Billy Miner Ale House and Restaurant, which is right next door. Barb says it’s going to be like we are on holidays every day.”
As a first-time home buyer, 30-something Laura Terepoki agrees.
“I had been unofficially looking for a condo for quite some time, but everything had to be just right for me to make the move,” says the young professional. “Knowing that Falcon Homes has such a great reputation for building, combined with the fact that this condo has such a spectacular view and investment potential, I just had to go for it. It didn't hurt that the interior design of the suites are so beautiful as well.”
Maple Ridge’s riverfront neighbourhood is one of the most desirable new communities in the city. The multi-award winning builder Falcon Homes’ Reflections offers a selection of 40 high-end residences, ranging in size from 461 to 1,480 square feet condos, in the heart of this vibrant and historic location.
The contemporary West coast homes are distinguished by open interiors with nine foot ceilings throughout the first, second and third floors and vaulted ceilings on the fourth, extra wide plank distressed laminate flooring in the entryway, kitchen, dining and living rooms and sprawling windows to bring the outdoors in.
The kitchen was designed with the gourmet chef in mind and features stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, Quartz countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, modern style full wrap cabinets and contemporary pendant lighting at the island/breakfast bar.
The stunning upscale contemporary exteriors are clad in rustic brick with large cedar beam accents. But best of all, the outdoor spaces are huge – great for entertaining and for taking in the sweeping mountain and river views.
“Each home has a large patio and nearly all have waterfront views,” says sales manager Natasha Turnbull, adding some patios are as large as 700 square feet.
For those outdoor enthusiasts, you are close to great hiking at the popular Golden Ears Mountains, camping at Alouette Lake, or head through the trails in UBC’s Malcolm Knapp Research Forest. Or grab a picnic basket and head to Kanaka Creek Park.
At Reflections, every detail has been carefully planned to offer superiority and affordable living spaces. Act fast, as only 30 remain. Prices start as low as $169,900 and completion is set for August 2015.
The Reflections presentation centre and show home is open seven days a week from noon to 5pm at 22327 River Road, Maple Ridge. For more information, call 604-467-0692, email at [email protected]or visit www.reflectionsliving.com.
