Imagine living in a community with breathtaking mountain views, the natural splendour of the Bow River Valley and paved pathways leading to beautiful Fish Creek Park. Now imagine yourself living in an affordable entry-level estate home with all these amenities; you will find yourself living in a Discovery home in Cranston.

The main focus of Discovery Homes is building good quality, investment homes for first time buyers and people looking to downsize. However, Discovery believes that these ‘entry level’ homes should include finishing details usually found in higher end or estate homes. Features like rounded drywall corners, upgraded cabinets with crown mouldings and ceramic tile in the front foyer are some of the standard features offered in all Discovery Homes. 

“There’s a lot of features that you typically wouldn’t see in a starter home.” Says Mike Wagner, Area Manager for Discovery Homes in Cranston. “Another one of our strengths is that we will customize and make changes to the homes so you can really build your home the way you want it as opposed to being restricted to a certain plan or only very minor changes. Allowing design changes is one of the biggest things that people like about building with Discovery Homes. In fact, approximately 25% of our purchasers are second time buyers or are referred by friends or family,” states Wagner.

Another thing people like about Cranston is its beautiful surroundings. “There’s nothing like having Fish Creek Park and the Bow River basically at your back door,” says Wagner. “We’ve also got miles of pathways at our disposal. We have pathways that tie in to Chinook Nature Park and Fish Creek Park and it’s nice to be able to go out for a bike-ride and not have to be on busy city streets.” Cranston is a community with lots of green space that’s geared towards families. With a linear park system, plenty of tot lots, playgrounds and wide-open spaces, what family wouldn’t want to be a part of the Cranston community? 

As well, with over 20 models to choose from, first time buyers will love the diversity and wide range of selections. Another added bonus that they will love is the $500 Gets You Started incentive. First time buyers can opt for a flexible payment structure; this makes it much easier for new families just getting started. Another incentive offered is Payment Reduction, where Discovery Homes pays down the mortgage for the first year, offering first time buyers mortgages as low as $530 per month! With homes starting at $161,000 and with buying incentives such as these, building your first home will be a dream. 

In 1997, long time Calgary and Area builder, Morrison Homes, branched out and created the award winning Discovery Homes division. Collectively, they have been voted Builder of the Year 2 years in a row through the Calgary Region Home Builder’s Association. With this much experience you know you’re in good hands.

Just south of 22X, with easy access to Deerfoot Trail. Cranston is now more desirable than ever. Come visit us at 19 Cramond Circle SE and let your imagination become a reality. 

Showhome Hours are Monday through Thursday 2:00 – 8:00, Saturday and Sunday 12:00 – 5:00, and closed on Fridays. Contact Mike Wagner at (403) 201-3813. Or visit our website at http://www.discoveryhomes.net
