Future Release of Detached Homes

Mattamy obtained the official go ahead from the City of Pickering (despite some very vocal council members being against the proposal) to change the future release of townhomes to detached homes. And apparently there is already a waiting list for the new release. This has to be good news for both current townhome and detached owners! I am thinking that Mattamy will do the new release in May, as they have a history of May openings, the first release was in May and their year end is around that time. Should be interesting to see what happens :)

Our Address....maybe?

One of the Seaton Forum members already had their upgrades meeting and mentioned that their address was on the upgrades documents. For some strange reason the address numbers are in the thousands. Another forum member deduced that we might be lucky number 1855 Liatriss Drive :)  Wonder what the reasoning was behind the numbers...?  We'll just have to wait till the info is on Canada Post to confirm.

Upgrades Meeting!

We have our muchly anticipated upgrades meeting on Monday :)  I have been researching and preparing for months, so it should be good!

We are planning to do a lot of upgrades because we don't want too many projects afterwards. Just the typical hardwood floors, granite counters & backsplash and finished basement will be on our list for the future.  The upgrade that we are most excited about is the maple hardwood stairs, they are going to be beautiful! We are doing a dark sambuca stain, high maintenance but worth it!

We were in Oshawa today and accidentally stumbled upon a Cartier Kitchens location, just happened to be in the same plaza as the timmies we went to. They are the supplier for our development's cabinets. So we were able to see a bunch of the different options that they offer, it was really cool :)

Can't wait for Monday!
