COMMUNITY PROFILE
BARRIE, BRADFORD AND INNISFIL
Just north of York Region, just fabulous!

T
o the north of York Region, new home buyers are discovering attractive communities that beckon with striking settings, remarkable amenities and value-packed addresses. Three popular residential destinations in Simcoe County are the City of Barrie, the Town of Innisfil and the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury. Ideally situated only minutes from the Greater Toronto Area, these areas offer a high quality of life for residents of all ages.
The City of Barrie
www.barrie.ca Known for four-season resort-style living par excellence, Barrie is one of Canada’s fastest-growing urban areas. A popular winter playground, the City is a stone’s throw from several ski resorts, and bustles with active residents and visitors skating, ice fishing, snowmobiling tobogganing and curling. During the warm months, Barrie comes to life with water activities on Kempenfelt Bay, where yacht, rowing and canoe clubs make their homes in a variety of launching and docking facilities. Discover parklands, walking and bicycling trails along the bay, golf courses, cultural venues, the best shopping north of Toronto, access to a myriad of transportation options – and all less than an hour’s drive from Toronto. The city’s giant sculpture aptly named “Spirit Catcher” is a fitting tribute to this dynamic area.
The Town of Innisfil
www.innisfil.ca Living near the lake is also a dream that residents of Innisfil experience. Small-town hospitality and country charm are permanent fixtures in this beautiful area, where 43 km of scenic Lake Simcoe shoreline are dotted with community parks. One of the world’s largest Bradford is attracting new residents who appreciate its quality of life (Photo courtesy of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury)
freshwater lakes offers opportunities for swimming, boating and scuba diving in the summer and ice fishing when the snow flies. Innisfil is home to a 9-km stretch of the Trans-Canada Trail, and active residents also
keep fit at the town’s recreation centre and other community facilities. In the Village of Cookstown, discover an Outlet Mall at Highways 400 and 89, plus specialty stores and antique shops. Highway 400 is handy for commuting, but many people are opting to live, play and work right in Innisfil.
The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury
www.townofbwg.com At the intersection of King’s Highway 11 and Highway 88, Bradford West Gwillimbury is close to Highway 400 and Yonge Street, making commuting from this popular residential destination convenient. Bradford is home to scenic parks, recreation centres, golf courses, ball diamonds, playgrounds, tennis courts, ice pads, a swimming pool and library, excellent schools and a culture centre. Active residents enjoy trails for biking, walking, running and more, plus an array of community organizations that promote fitness and fun. The fabulously fertile Holland Marsh is located in the area, as are some of Ontario’s finest farmers’ markets. Known as a safe community, Bradford celebrates its bounty and cultural diversity with numerous annual fairs, festivals and other special events that draw tens of thousands of people to this captivating area.

Two new model homes showcase how you can live greatly at Summerlyn Village
I
n the popular residential destination of Bradford, Great Gulf invites you to “Live Greatly” at Summerlyn Village amid master-planned surroundings that nurture
belonging. A long-time believer in giving back to the greater community, Great Gulf recently sold the three previous model homes at Summerlyn Village and donated the furnishings to Bradford House, which provides supportive housing/assisted living for at-risk, low-income seniors with multiple physical and mental challenges. Located in Bradford, it is part of LOFT Community Services, and is the only program in in York Region or South Simcoe County serving this especially vulnerable
group of seniors. “We are delighted to support Bradford House with this furniture donation from our Great Gulf model home,” said Christopher Wein, President Great Gulf Residential. “When we build in a community, we become a member of the community and stay connected by participating in local initiative.” A capital fundraising campaign is in effect to make upgrades and repairs to the building, which LOFT purchased last year. At Summerlyn Village, the striking new Niven-appointed models reflect the design and construction excellence you will find in all of the homes on 40’ and 50’ lots. Ranging in size from 1,880 to 4,010 square feet and in price from $557,990, there is truly something for everyone. Plus, the prices here are up to

Aurora Glen embraces technology and is a resounding success On Tuesday, September 30th, Lindvest launched one of its most innovative projects - Aurora Glen. This launch was an overwhelming success with a 135 firm home sales in four days, selling out the entire Phase. As a result, Lindvest is now planning to move up the launch of Phase 2. At the pre-registrant launch, Lindvest displayed uniquely defining characteristics of the first release of their Aurora Glen homes, from the contemporary and traditional style elevations and double-car garages, to state-of-the-art technological features such as self-learning thermostats and intelligent locks for future living, now. Engine Advertising custom developed web-based software specifically for this site. Their software gave pre-registrants an opportunity to preview all of the available homes, elevations, floor plans, agreement of purchase and sale, starting prices and to book their appointment. In order to better assist the sales team and prospective purchasers, Aurora Glen utilizes revolutionary interactive software created by NVYVE and Salefish to make the home-buying process more engaging and easier. Using touchscreen technology and iPads, homebuyers can select parameters to find the perfect lot and home for their needs. The software provides the opportunity to view the site plan, proposed
homes and floorplans in 3D with 360 degree rotation ability, something previously impossible with architectural 2D plans and renderings alone. Cutting-edge graphics allow customers to browse through the inventory of 3D floor plans and house types, and homebuyers can fully understand their future space and lot type. Comparisons between home plans are easily displayed, and everything is shown
and updated in real time to form an accurate up-to-date snapshot of the development as it changes and grows. As homes are sold, the interactive 3D site plan updates in real-time to show how the development and streetscapes will appear in reality. The software also features the builder story and local area amenities. NVYVE and Salefish software is the ultimate customer experience for buying
pre-construction homes. It allows the customer to see the home and lot as never before. Salefish is unique software that fills several voids within the existing landscape of software for the building industry that is dedicated to CRM, Sales & Marketing and ERP systems. Salefish’s Active Siting and iPad Sales Application combines with NVYVE’s 3D interactive technology to create a unique customer service experience. The sales team can retrieve reservations through the Salefish system and then facilitate agreements of purchase and sale. Customer information is leveraged through CRM in order to speed up the process. Sales information is passed through the ERP system to initiate construction management. Toronto-based Lindvest is part of the well-respected award-winning H&R family of companies, which has been building with excellence for more than 60 years. Lindvest was founded in 1998 and has built successful communities across the Greater Toronto Area. Over the years, Lindvest has been recognized for excellence in planning, progressive urban design and superb construction standards. The firm is known for selecting established, up-andcoming locations that appreciate in value over time, and Aurora Glen bears out that commitment.

Kylemore’s Award-Winning Community boasts new model home
K
ylemore was recently awarded the prestigious 2014 Markham Design Excellence Award for Angus Glen Community, which also received the Building Industry and Land Development (BILD) Association’s 2013 “Places to Grow” Community of the Year Award. In Markham, Kylemore has just opened a spectacular new 5,300 square foot Custom Home Peyton Model with interiors by Jane Lockhart Interior Design. “We design and build our model homes, and Jane’s firm transforms them into a stunning environment that anyone would love to live in,” says Patrick O’Hanlon, President of Kylemore Communities. “Kylemore’s homes are a classic design, which we find has long-lasting appeal. Main floor ceiling heights of 10-feet and 9-feet on the second floor creates an elegance and majesty for our design,” says Jane. For the new four-bedroom Peyton Model, Jane emulates current design trends by using reflective metals and glossy materials. From the first moment visitors enter the main foyer and see the centre hall layout there’s a ‘wow’ factor. A notable Kylemore feature throughout is the substantial trim. Details such as waffle ceilings, trimmed archways, wall paneling and crown molding are very much a part of the overall look. Full drapery frames generous windows and in the dining room traditional chairs are finished in a non-traditional material for extra sizzle! At the back of the home the surroundings become elegantly casual. A classic sectional is positioned facing the gas fireplace in the great room, its flames can be enjoyed from the breakfast room and the spacious kitchen. Windows overlook the back garden making the open concept great room, breakfast and kitchen combination a favourite gathering place for family members and guests alike. No custom-designed home is complete without a sumptuous master suite. The double door entry is through a private alcove. A gorgeous sitting area is surrounded by windows and a two-sided gas fireplace is visible from the bedroom and the ensuite. Stylish yet functional, the master bath has a double vanity, a large shower, a water closet and a lavish freestanding bathtub. Two large walk-in closets complete this elegant retreat. A cozy second floor library has open railing providing a view to the fireplace below. Three additional bedrooms each have a large closet, as well as a signature design feature of either a private or shared ensuite bathroom. A laundry room is conveniently located on this level.

Averton, Canada’s elite national homebuilder, is excited to announce the preview opening for Main Street Seaton will be held next weekend. Those who preregister will be one of the first ones invited to the event and will have the opportunity to become one of the first people to purchase a home in this stunning new community. Since the sales office is not yet open to the public, by preregistering you will have the first choice of lots and designs. Not only that, but you will also receive preview pricing! Located on Brock Road, just south of Taunton, Main Street Seaton will offer homebuyers Brownstone Townhomes in
three distinct home styles priced from the mid-$200s. Not only will these beautiful homes be affordable for today’s homebuyers, but the ideal location is close to every big city amenity. Rich in art, history and culture, Pickering has quickly become one of the GTA’s premier cities. Residents will enjoy living close to the city’s bustling arts and cultural activities, as well as a variety of live entertainment throughout the year. Pickering provides an unprecedented quality of life and was named “the best place in Canada to raise a family” by Canadian Living Magazine. Recreation facilities, beautiful parks, and
hiking trails throughout the community are only some of the assets Pickering has to offer. Living in Pickering will put you close to everything you need. You are just minutes from the 401, 407 and GO Transit, making your commute a breeze. If you love to get outside, there is plenty of nearby green space to explore, including Greenwood Conservation Area. You will also be surrounded by golf courses, and within walking distance to Seaton Golf & Country Club. Shopping at all of your favourite big box stores is available just a few minutes down the road, along with lots of entertainment and dining options. At Main Street Seaton, you will find a stunning variety of Coach Towns, Garden Towns and Urban Towns to choose from. Exterior features include architecturally selected, colour coordinated brick with brick detailing and/or vinyl siding exteriors, with complimenting roof, and paint colours for a
