the strategic placement of the stairs allows for a separate side entrance and an open space in the basement that they can develop. “A lot of people see value in that, especially due to recent mortgage changes, and they’re looking at developing a legal suite to offset their living expenses.” She adds that people also love having the opportunity to customize the plan to suit their needs. “The showhome is 1,561 sq. ft., but with our customizable floorplans I have been able to turn it into a four bedroom model and added extra living space.” The Sienna presents an inviting modern feel right from the entry with its light-toned flooring and warm
grey and white colour scheme. The entry offers a nice space for greeting guests and a little corner niche by the front closet allows room for a bench or hall table. The entry is open to a spacious front living room made bright with large windows and a niche by the stairs provides room for a hutch, desk or IT centre. “What I think is awesome about this home is the central kitchen and the oversized island – it’s one of the biggest islands I’ve seen and the microwave is built into the island, which is a really nice touch,” Gearey says. “The dining ledge on the island is great for entertaining guests as it can fit six people.” Along with the impressive island
the kitchen serves up dark granite countertops, dark ceiling height cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a subway tile backsplash. Across from the island double doors open to a handy pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a huge dining area that allows plenty of room for family and friends and around the corner a convenient half bath, large closet and built-in bench are in the mud room adjacent the rear entry. Upstairs, the spacious owners’ bedroom provides room for kingsized furniture and features a large walk-in closet and beautiful ensuite with oversized walk-in shower. Down the hall, double doors open to a convenient upstairs laundry, and further along another set of double doors open to an extralarge linen closet. Additionally, there are two generously sized secondary bedrooms – one with a walk-in closet – and a full bathroom with granitetopped vanity and soaker tub. Along with the Sienna, Creations by Shane Homes also has the 1,506-sq.ft. Tryon and the 1,554-sq.-ft. Wysteria on its showhome parade in Cornerstone.
