Homes in Sunset Ridge present unique architecture inspired by Craftsman and Arts and Crafts design elements including deep and rich natural colour palettes with comprehensive trim packages, varied roof pitches, and decorative craftsman elements such as gables, brackets, blocks, and false trusses. “A diversity of finishing materials are also available including shakes, battens, and Hardie Board siding to add interest and individual expression to each home along the street,” Mendonca says. Residents also appreciate the close proximity to an array of amenities. There is a Catholic school in Sunset Ridge and another public school is coming, plus they’re minutes from a wide range of great amenities in Cochrane including major retailers, charming boutiques, grocery stores, services and recreational facilities.
