UXBRIDGE, ONTARIO, JULY 7, 2008 – The Estates of Wyndance in Uxbridge by Empire Communities is the choice of a cross-section of discerning purchasers, from professional couples and families with children to empty-nesters. Homeowners are already moving into this master-planned community, where as part of the final release, Empire recently introduced all-new home designs on spacious 85’ estate lots ranging up to more than 200’ in depth. Priced from $648,990, these homes represent significant value in the luxury market.

The club is now fully subscribed, so the only way to join is by becoming a Wyndance homeowner. Wyndance buyers receive a Platinum membership with their home purchase. Membership renewal options include Platinum with full golf course privileges, or Social for those who would rather stroll over to the Clubhouse and meet friends over lunch, dinner or drinks.

Wyndance homeowners also love the community for its multitude of lifestyle benefits including the large park, walking trails, and private tennis and basketball courts. They appreciate living amidst meticulously landscaped grounds with natural features such as rock waterfalls, ponds and fountains. Designed on environmentally friendly principles, the golf courses feature a “least disturbance approach,” which incorporates the natural features of the land. The community’s gatehouse is complete, enhancing the exclusiveness of this distinguished address.

One of the new home designs is the 3,350 sq. ft., four-bedroom Katana (Elevation A), with its brick exterior highlighted by dramatic trimmed peaked gables. From the large front porch, the open-to-above foyer is flanked by the formal living and dining rooms. The open-concept main living area includes the kitchen, which is connected to the dining room via a servery, and which includes a breakfast bar island and chef’s desk. This area also features the breakfast room and glorious two-storey great room with a gas fireplace flanked by windows. The laundry room and powder room are also on this floor, and purchasers may opt to add a workshop behind the double-car garage.

Upstairs, the view to the great room below is stunning. The gracious master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite with an oval tub, separate shower, double-sink vanity and window. The three other generously proportioned bedrooms share the main bath.

The 2,685 sq. ft. Glencairn Bungalow with Loft and finished lower foyer (Elevation C) is another favourite of the new designs. This home’s stone-and-stucco exterior features peaked gables, arched dormers and a welcoming front porch. On the main floor are the library, separate dining room with a coffered ceiling, open-to-above great room with a gas fireplace, and the sunny kitchen and breakfast room.

The luxurious master bedroom features two walk-in closets and a sumptuous ensuite with an oval tub and separate shower. The second bedroom, main bath and laundry room complete this floor. The loft encompasses another bathroom, the third bedroom, and the option to create a fourth bedroom.

Available homes range in size from a 1,965 sq. ft. bungalow, to two-storey designs from 2,245 to over 4,000 sq. ft. Prices range from $648,990 to $814,990. A condominium corporation manages the common elements of this self-contained estate enclave, which include the private water and sewage system, landscaped amenity spaces, and private roadway maintenance. Monthly fees are $313.

Empire Communities is the Durham Home Builders’ Association’s 2007 Builder of the Year. That association also honoured The Estates of Wyndance Best Community of the Year, and has awarded The Roxborough Elevation B with Excellence in Single Family Design 4,400 sq, ft. and Over.
