The exceptional level of standard luxury features and finishes at Allegro is one of the things that sets these residences apart from other communities. Main floors feature oak hardwood flooring and soaring 10’ ceilings with dramatic coffered detailing. Lavish kitchens include standard walk-in pantries and serveries, granite or quartz counters, custom cabinets and a fabulous 6-piece Miele appliance package. Master bedrooms feature spacious walk-in closets, spa-inspired ensuites with rectangular freestanding tubs and extra-large frameless glass showers with marble seats.
Buying a new-build home is an exciting time and many of our homeowners like to take this opportunity to further personalize their homes with extra features, finishes and upgrades that reflect their own interests and style. At Allegro we offer many luxurious and functional upgrades to enhance your day-to-day living AND increase the value of your home.
Here are a few of the upgrades available in our Allegro Executive Homes:
Kitchen
If you enjoy cooking and entertaining, you’ll quickly fall in love with the kitchens in Allegro. One of our most popular features is the servery. Historically, the servery (or butler’s pantry) was a room seen only in the grandest of homes. However, the demand for adding this additional room continues to grow. This room connects the kitchen to the dining room and provides more storage along with a prep area for easy entertaining. Our Allegro serveries come complete with a sink, pantry and space to add a microwave or small fridge to make entertaining a breeze.
Elevator
An elevator can provide more convenience and comfort as well as adding value to your home. It’s a great way to easily access all the levels of your home, making each room accessible to everyone. It also helps with moving heavy pieces upstairs or down. An elevator can add years of enjoyment to your new home and the sleek, functional design will blend effortlessly with your chosen décor.
Pet Washing Station
When your pet needs a bath, why dirty the sink or tub when you can have a convenient wash station with a flexible hand-held showerhead just for your four-legged friend. This dedicated area is integrated into your mudroom to provide a quick and easy solution for all kinds of clean-up to avoid bringing the outdoors in.
Cold Cellar
This is a room located in the basement that stays cool all year round. Cold Cellars are typically used to store wine, potatoes, canning, flower bulbs, and other items that need to be kept at a cooler temperature. Not only do they provide the perfect space to house these items neatly and safely, but they are much cheaper than running an extra fridge.
Second Floor Laundry
A standard in our Allegro homes, the second floor laundry means no more lugging laundry up and down the stairs. Dirty clothes, sheets, and towels that make up 95% of our laundry are generated on the second floor. It also eliminates the use of hampers in bedrooms/bedroom closets. The result – doing the laundry takes up less time and less space.
Covered Loggia
At Allegro, open-concept family rooms look out onto your spacious, covered loggia, the perfect place to spend a warm summer evening with family or friends. The residences of Allegro feature dramatic, over-sized patio doors — some up to 16’ wide — that provide access to your Loggia and also flood your living spaces with natural light.
Greywater Rough-In
Geranium now takes our enhanced building practices one step further, with energy and water saving features that provide the opportunity to install a grey water recycling system. Greywater is household waste water from showers and baths that can easily be filtered, cleaned, and reused for applications like toilet flushing and irrigation. These systems are great for the environment and will allow you to save both water and money.
These are just a few of the many features and upgrades available in your new Allegro home. Allegro redefines luxury with a collection of executive residences that inspire, in a neighbourhood that embraces nature and welcomes you home.
