McBride Collection Offers Affordable, Elegant, Convenient Family Living in Bowmanville's Aspen Springs

BOWMANVILLE, ON, February 28, 2013 (Press-News.org) Kaitlin Group continues to attract the interest of young families and first-time buyers with the launch of Phase Two of the McBride Collection - affordable mid-sized homes that offer all the bells and whistles of larger detached homes at price points comparable to a townhome.

Adding to the appeal is the location. The McBride Collection is in the heart of Aspen Springs, Kaitlin Group's master-planned community in re-vitalized Bowmanville, Ontario, where everything from schools, parks and smart centre retail outlets to restaurants, grocery stores and the Go Train are within walking distance.

"Why buy a townhouse when you can pay the same and have the value of a single home instead?" says Kaitlin Group Sales Representative Sharon Crann, adding that it's also entirely feasible to live without a car in Aspen Springs, putting even more savings into your wallet.

"This is a fast-growing, exciting community and our McBride homes are a great way for people to come and be a part of it," she says. "What makes the community stand out is that it offers rear entry from laneways that run behind the homes, allowing for a gorgeous streetscape at the front."

The three distinctive two-story models in the McBride Collection include: The Brighton starting at $264,990; The Carlton starting at $274,990; and, The Legacy starting at $284,990. Floor plans range from 1,202 square feet to 1,569 square feet, each one boasting open concept kitchen designs with generous cabinet space as well as a host of other "home comfort" options such as convenient flush breakfast bars, centre islands and rich laminate countertops. Second-floor laundry is also featured on larger models; all plans include three bedrooms with master ensuite.

Larger families can take advantage of finished basement pricing which includes an extra bedroom, open room and bathroom at $262,790 for The Brighton, $300,390 for The Carlton and $314,990 for The Legacy. Exteriors are finished in beautifully architected brick and stone work while interior finishes include imported 12- by 12-inch ceramic tile; luxury 35-ounce broadloom with 7/16-inch under pad; oak pickets and handrails with oak veneer stringer to stairs; and, choice of colonial or classique interior passage doors throughout.

A well-established community, Aspen Springs offers something for everyone. Commuters love the convenience of public transit, with easy access to the 401 and GO service. Sports enthusiasts are attracted by the proximity to conservation areas, hiking trails, skiing, equestrian centres and waterfront activities, with Lake Ontario just a two-minute drive south.

Meanwhile, nearby historic downtown Bowmanville has transformed into a shopper's delight, with new interlocking brick sidewalks, pedestrian-friendly curb bump-outs and historical lighting. Shoppers will find a wide variety of goods and services, including everything from antiques to designer clothing.

Phase Two of the McBride Collection consists of 28 homes with construction expected to start this summer. For those who can't wait to call Aspen Springs home, five remaining models in Phase One, now under construction, are available for quick move-in.

To take advantage of special, limited time Phase Two offers - such as nine-foot ceilings on the main floor or free single-car garage - call 1-866-514-3573 or visit the Kaitlin Group sales centre on Aspen Spring Drive, located off of Waverly between Baseline and King Street West.
