Introducing Tayberry Terrace to Langford
Posted By Duncan Boan • Jun 30th, 2008 • Location: Langford
The tidy development of Tayberry Terrace should appeal to young families. First, in today’s market in the Greater Victoria Area, these homes are reasonably affordable. Second, the homes are individual, stand alone single family units, each with its own little garden area to the rear. Third, the elementary school (kindergarten to grade 6) is just up the road. Fourth, it’s close to major bus routes.
Homes here are designed to give the appearance of detached town homes, but they are not strata titled, they are individual titles. It is a Built Green new housing development, and incorporates many green and sustainable practices into each home, as well as during the construction process itself.
The floor plans seem well laid out, with three bedrooms up, and an open concept kitchen, dining room and living room on the main.
If bedroom separation is a concern, you may be a little disappointed because the master bedroom in all floor plans shares a common wall with another. But in homes designed for young families, this should seldom be a concern, and for three bedroom homes in the range of 1460 to 1480 square feet, it‘s difficult to see how the plan could be otherwise.
Some plans have two full baths on the main, and those that do also have a powder room on the main floor - a very nice convenience. For the plans with one bathroom on the bedroom floor, a second bathroom is provided on the main, along with a generously sized recreation room.
Exteriors and interiors alike are nicely finished. Exteriors feature cultured stone and HardiPlank siding, energy efficient double glazed vinyl windows, exposed aggregate patios with cedar privacy hedges, and exposed aggregate driveways in front of the single car garage. Inside, look for premium laminate wood floors throughout the main, ceramic tile in bathrooms and laundry room, an electric fireplace, crown moldings, energy efficient appliances, and other nice features. The model home I viewed looked very nice.
The model home is complete, available for viewing, and construction on others is underway. Prices are currently advertised between about $420,000 to $440,000, including GST.
