Riverbend Construction Slated to Start in June

April 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Ajax, Ont. (April 5, 2011) – With nearly one-half of lots sold and all 30-foot frontages now sold out, Marshall Homes’ Riverbend – an exclusive 87-lot community nestled along East Duffins Creek in Ajax – is scheduled to break ground in June. And keeping with the company’s mission to build homes of lasting character, three new designs are now being offered:  the 2,599-square foot Meadowlark II, 2,684-square-foot Wren and 2,737-square-foot Quail. All three are four-bedroom homes featuring three full baths upstairs.

“Our biggest selling point is that we can build three homes in a row and you’d never know it was the same home,” says Marshall Homes sales representative Monica Ritter. “In this community, we are truly living up to our motto that homes of lasting character make neighbourhoods of lasting value.”

What makes Riverbend stand out is its unique blend of three distinct architectural styles: the romantic aura of French Country, the country manor look of English Tudor and the clean-lined simplicity of Canadian Craftsman.  With 18 floor plans ranging from single detached homes on 37-foot frontages to linked and semi-detached homes on 25-foot frontages, each home is designed to mix and match in harmony while preserving individuality. Prices range from $302,990 to $506,990 plus a lot premium, depending on location.

Marshall Homes’ distinctive attention to detail is carried throughout the interiors of all Riverbend homes. Spectacular nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, rocker-style silent light switches, Decora wall receptacles, fully painted trim, colour casement windows and high-density carpet underpad are just a few of the standard features that other builders provide as upgrades only.

Marshall Homes also makes it easier for buyers to pick finishes and upgrades for their new homes using the innovative Marshall Homes level pricing policy. Designed to achieve cost efficiencies with suppliers that are then passed on to buyers, it comes in three distinct packages: Silver, Gold and Platinum. An additional incentive of $4,000 towards upgrades on the purchase of a 25-foot link or semi-detached home and $8,000 towards upgrades on the purchase of a 37-foot detached single is also offered.

Nestled alongside East Duffins Creek with easy access to the renowned Duffins Trail System, Riverbend is the ideal location for retirees, empty-nesters and young families alike. All of the joys of nature, including hiking, fishing and beautiful sunsets, combine with easy access to schools, shops and city transit, to give homeowners the best of both worlds. The nearby Paul Lynn Park also boasts a picnic area and playground, and provides summer day camps for children.
