Great Gulf Homes offers the utmost in value for a cross-section of new home buyers at Grandview in north Oshawa, where prices are up to $200,000 lower than equivalent homes elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area. Grandview’s new phase of detached homes on 36’, 40’ and 50’ lots has already proven incredibly successful. Priced from just $273,990, some conservation lots are available, and all the homes are in a fabulous location, in the established area north of Taunton Road and east of Harmony Road.
Grandview residents live close to an enviable assortment of existing amenities, including shopping malls, golf courses, schools, Harmony Valley Conservation Area, and the popular Legends Centre on Harmony Road, with its indoor pool, four ice pads, library, gym and attractive family memberships. Lake Ontario and the Waterfront Trail are only minutes away, and it’s a quick trip to access GO Transit and Highways 407 and 401. And throughout the year, Oshawa residents and visitors enjoy special events, such as the free summer outdoor concert series at Memorial Park.
Grandview is a distinct community with appealing streetscapes, a park and landscaped storm water management pond. Striking architectural designs with stunning exteriors and beautiful interiors with impressive standard appointments. Among the many fine features and finishes owners enjoy at Grandview are gourmet kitchens with quality cabinetry, luxurious ensuites, natural-finish oak railings and pickets, imported ceramic tiles and plush broadloom.
For a first-hand look at Great Gulf’s design and construction quality, you can tour the three fully furnished model homes: the 3,245 sq. ft. Crystal (Elevation C), the 2,560 sq. ft. Fieldstone (Elevation B), and the 3,095 sq. ft. Amber (Elevation C). The Crystal’s peaked gables and covered porch captivate from first glance. Inside, a parapet wall and decorative column introduce the living room, and the separate dining room invites formal entertaining. The family room features a gas fireplace, and the open concept kitchen and breakfast room have a breakfast bar island. This floor also encompasses the private library, laundry and powder rooms.
Upstairs, the master bedroom offers a large walk-in closet. The luxurious ensuite includes a corner oval tub, separate shower and two vanities. Two bedrooms share a bathroom, and the fourth bedroom has a walk-in closet and ensuite – perfect for a nanny or in-laws. A bonus on this floor is the standard second family room, which is warmed by the optional corner fireplace.
Another stunning example of the homes available in the new release is the 1,940 sq. ft., three-bedroom Springbank (Elevation A) bungalow. Trimmed peaked gables and a covered porch surrounded by stone detailing create irresistible curb appeal. The formal living room and dining room are delineated by decorative columns. The casual open-concept area includes the kitchen, sunny breakfast room, and great room with its corner gas fireplace.
The spacious master bedroom features traditional and walk-in closets, and has a luxurious ensuite with an oval tub topped by a window, as well as a separate shower. The second and third bedroom share the main bath, and the laundry room in this home is conveniently adjacent to the hall linen closet.
