A Coco classic
Coco Homes’ Copperfield debut is a big hit!
Coco Homes has always been known for its innovative design and inventive use of available space, and since 1981 has come out with some of the most captivating single-family homes in and around Calgary.
That is why the launch of its new show home in Copperfield has been so hotly anticipated. And the award-winning builder did not disappoint.
The 2,314-square-foot New Haven show home in this popular southeast community is a prime example of the quality and craftsmanship that Coco Homes has been known for, including: its open concept design, high ceilings, big windows and a dramatic open-to-above great room.
Convenience and character go hand-in-hand in this stunning show home that neatly plots out the kind of life a family can have here — the foyer is wide and inviting, the main floor laundry is spacious and tucked away from the rest of the house, the walk-thru pantry is accessible straight from the garage so bringing home the groceries is never a problem.
But paying attention to the mundane, day-to-day items doesn’t have to mean boring, and the New Haven retains the drama and stylish allure of a home made to entertain. An open-to-above great room with majestic window wall gives it that “wow” factor guaranteed to impress guests, and the show home’s optional wainscoting detail gives it an added design flair that flows to the loft upstairs.
“Coco Homes is known for making intelligent use of every available space and New Haven is no different,” says area manager Peter MacKenzie. “You can see it in every detail in the New Haven, from the built-in bench detail in the foyer and mud room and the built-in display shelves in the two bedrooms upstairs — all of them standard — we make full use of the space that would have otherwise have been wasted.”
Every effort was made to come up with a design that would fit the needs of today’s modern families, MacKenzie says. “But because Coco Homes is a custom builder we have no problem adapting our plans to the buyers needs”.
The best thing undoubtedly about the New Haven show home is that it sits in one of the premium water lots of Copperfield, and with its window wall in the great room and oversized windows throughout, the view from anywhere in the house is just breathtaking.
“We still have a few walkout lots by the pond in Copperfield and we are getting a lot of interest on them already, considering that the show home was just opened to the public on March 6,” MacKenzie adds.
He says home designs on a base lot start at $389,900, and at about $500,000 on water lots. The show home itself with all the furniture and upgrades would sell in the $650,000 range, he points out.
“This is our first show home back in Calgary and we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to the Calgary market, and I must say that the New Haven made our debut in Copperfield an outstanding success,” MacKenzie says.
Coco Homes offers eight new plans exclusively for Calgary, including the New Haven, and they range in size from 1,888 square-feet to 2,314 square-feet with prices starting at $389,900. NL
