In prestigious Ballantrae, Geranium Homes’ Copperstone community is an exclusive cul-de-sac offering just 18 residences on oversized lots. The fact that eight of these have sold since October, during the traditionally slower winter season, speaks to the appeal of these spacious homes. Now, buyers have a gorgeous new layout to consider, the Balmoral, which has 4,430 square feet of living space (including 204 square feet of finished basement).

This new floorplan is a perfect example of the careful consideration Geranium gives all its designs in the Copperstone portfolio. In the foyer, the open-to-above spiral stairway provides a stunning first impression of this gracious manor-style home. Coffered ceilings in the hallway and formal dining room are a Copperstone hallmark. The

Balmoral also features both a living room/library and great room where you can choose to add waffle ceilings. The expansive kitchen area includes a morning room, island, servery, walk-in pantry and doors to the covered loggia at the back. This floor is also served by a powder room and two garages, one with a mudroom entry into the foyer. The second floor has four bedrooms, three ensuites and the laundry room. The sumptuous master bedroom features a raised tray ceiling and a dreamy dressing room with a window seat.

Deluxe finishes at Copperstone include 9-foot main and second-floor ceilings; oak stairs with upgraded pickets; hardwood flooring (as per plan); and granite or marble countertops. Homes will be Energy Star® for New Homes labelled, and will include

rough-in plumbing for a greywater reuse system. Exteriors are crafted from genuine clay brick, structural precast stone, and low-maintenance Hardie Board siding and trim.

Two-storey manor homes range in size from 3,164 to 5,058 square feet and in price from $1,170,000 to $1,382,000; bungalow-loft designs from 2,990 to 3,732 square feet, from $1,190,000 to $1,280,000.
