Geranium Homes welcomed visitors to browse two new model townhomes that are brimming with design ideas, during the Grand Opening weekend at Uptownes at Cardinal Point in Stouffville. Los Angeles based interior designer, Jo-Ann Capelaci has created two themed approaches for modern living in a stacked townhome, and Geranium has capitalized on her experience and is providing visitors with a printed handout. The company has also produced a series of videos with Ms. Capelaci that are full of inspiration and useful tips, now available to view on geraniumhomes.com.

“We designed our marketing strategy to include new and interesting ways to present these three-storey townhomes to prospective buyers, before we were able to build the model homes,” explains Sue Webb Smith, Geranium’s Marketing Director. “Jo-Ann has worked with us at every stage, creating furnished floorplans for every room in all four of the Uptownes designs. She assisted an artist to produce perspective illustrations that accurately reflect her furnished plans. And, ultimately, Jo-Ann chose interior finishes, furniture and décor for the two model homes.”

From the multi-purpose ground level recreation room to the

magnificent rooftop terrace, each model demonstrates how well designed these homes are for comfortable living. Throughout each model, Ms. Capelaci has integrated basic elements along with her choice of interior finishes from Uptownes’ high quality standard package sprinkled with a few upgrade options that provide big impact for a small investment.

Buyers may choose from the two designs in the Chicago Series of back-to-back and two layouts in the Gooderham Series of stacked units, which range from 1,401 to 1,639 square feet, priced from the $380,000s. Every home includes a bright and spacious Great Room with 10-foot ceiling heights and large windows; two bedrooms; and two bathrooms. Plus a bonus ground level recreation room that could become an exercise room, studio or home office. A large rooftop terrace measuring between 279 and 380 square feet provides a top floor outdoor oasis. Parking for two cars is accommodated in the single-car garage and driveway. Low monthly maintenance fees are just $89.

Uptownes’ exteriors of brick and stone with loft-style window details result in streetscapes that are modern yet also reflective of an era highlighted by machine and industry. Uptownes is a self-contained enclave neighbourhood

of 134 condominium townhomes, that is architecturally controlled for timeless appeal. Blocks are released in phases, with occupancy dates commencing December 2014 through Spring 2016.

Geranium Homes is building these three-storey homes with state-of-the-art manufactured panels for walls, floors and roof, drastically cutting the time needed to build when compared to conventional stick frame methods. In addition to speedier construction, the computer-controlled system reduces waste, minimizes errors and provides a higher acoustic value.
