“We opened our new four-showhome parade in Prestwick last month,” says Ed Nordlund, executive vice-president of housing for Jayman.
“Our Erlton showhome has everything people are asking for — it’s a very open plan with lots of natural light, as well as the warmth and comfort of hardwood floors and cabinetry.”
The showhomes, along a tree-lined wide boulevard, are steps away from a three-acre park boasting a water fountain, playground and picnic areas.
The curbside appeal of neo-traditional architecture is enhanced by rear-detached garages and the Erlton’s wide, covered front veranda.
“You have a choice of three exteriors — National, Craftsman or Queen Anne — for the Erlton,” says Nordlund, adding interior floorplan options include expanded nooks, full ensuites or additional bathrooms.
The 1,585-sq.-ft, three-bedroom Erlton features an expansive main floor with open great room, kitchen and nook.
“Our research shows people want lots of natural light in their home,” says Nordlund, pointing to oversized windows throughout the Erlton, as well as additional windows in the expanded 772-sq.-ft. nook.
The rich warmth of silver maple floors in a jacobean stain are complemented by the great room’s fireplace with entertainment niche.
In the kitchen, natural maple cabinets are spiced up with an island, raised eating bar and sizable pantry cupboard, with a convenient rear mud room around the corner.
“Our specifications include a choice of maple, white or oak cabinets, kitchen appliances, pot and pan drawers, recessed kitchen pot lights, hardwood floors, decora light switches, and upper and lower moulding on cabinets,” says Nordlund.
Upstairs, two kids rooms are strategically placed to give the master suite plenty of privacy.
A full ensuite option includes a soaker tub and standing shower, while the walk-in closet showcases a standard wardrobe closet system with white melamine shelving, sweater tower and four pullout drawers.
The small-town charm of Prestwick Village’s parks, churches, High St. and future McKenzie Towne Hall seems worlds away from the nearby big-city conveniences such as Deerfoot Tr. and South Tr. Crossing.
“We have something to offer the first-time up to the semi-estate buyer,” says Nordlund, adding Jayman’s condo development, Aberdeen on the Park, is down the street from the showhomes.
“Some select lots also give you the option of building studio suites over the rear detached garage.”
