SPECIAL TO THE STAR
Best Homes has just launched a townhouse development in
Unionville for people on a budget looking for a downtown
lifestyle.
Called Swallow's Nest, the 70 townhouses will be
located a short distance from Markham's city centre, across
the street from the Kennedy GO station, and near Main St.
Unionville, Unionville Golf Course and the 407.
"These townhomes will appeal to young couples who can
pay a bit more than rent," says Bilal Mahmood, marketing
manager for Best Homes.
Models are priced from the $260,000s. ."
Mahmood explains that recent initiatives like the
ground-breaking of the Markham YMCA, the extension of Main St.
Unionville to the GO station on Enterprise Dr., the arrival of
VIVA York Rapid Transit in the coming months and the future
walkable central urban park will create a vibrant downtown
core.
A daunting challenge was designing the narrow space
efficiently and practically, without sacrificing originality
and luxury.
"We spent a lot of time with the architect, Viljoen
Architect, and have come up with good-sized living areas and
bathrooms," says Mahmood.
A constant throughout all Best Homes developments is
the feng shui approach to design. On their website (http://www.besthomescanada.com/), feng shui
is described as the harmony between practical needs of
construction with the inner harmony of spirit.
Ranging in size from 1,000 to 1,600 square feet, the
majority of the townhouses at Swallow's Nest will have dual
frontage, which means they'll have a street in front and a
lane and a one-car detached or attached garage in the back.
Many will also have basement walkouts and balconies and
the lots are 110 feet deep.
Mahmood says buyers can choose to have a separate
eating area in the kitchen, or a breakfast area within the
kitchen.
The townhouses will have a brick faηade that Mahmood
says "looks like a cottage" with welcoming columns, verandas
and decorative trim.
Interior features include ceramic tile in the entry,
kitchen and bathroom, and high-grade 36-ounce carpet.

office at 8351 Kennedy Rd. in Markham, or call
