A shared dream
Sabal’s attached homes bring estate panache to Mahogany
It certainly says a lot about Sabal’s design when it is mistaken for a grand prize lottery show home, as has often happened with Sabal Homes’ new attached homes in Mahogany since it opened last month.
“I’ve had a lot of people come through our new show home thinking it was the Lifestyle Lottery grand prize home that’s also in the neighbourhood,” says Olja Uljarevic, Sabal’s Area Manager for attached homes in Mahogany. “It’s a testament to the grand curb appeal of these homes that resemble estate homes that people are finding so amazing.”
Sabal’s attached homes offer a lifestyle that appeals to buyers in many different stages of their lives. “Our customers generally want to focus on what’s important to them without sacrificing curb appeal, status and personal style,” says Brad Vogelsang, Senior Manager Sales (Calgary and Region) for Sabal Homes.
Sabal’s attached homes offer a complete package that includes landscaping, fencing and a detached double garage starting at only $343,900. The beauty of the attached homes is that they provide the convenience of a turn-key home with the added security of an attached neighbour and the freedom of homeownership.
“There’s nowhere else that you can buy a home for under $400,000 and still be close to a private lakefront as we are in Mahogany,” Uljarevic adds. “And the premium estate look that our attached homes have make them look right at home beside the $600,000 to million-dollar homes across the way from it.”
What makes Sabal’s attached homes so different is that they are designed to look like one large home instead of two homes joined together. “The way that Sabal’s designed it is very skillful as well, beside the care we take in sound-proofing technology, we also make sure that bedrooms between the two homes aren’t on opposite sides of the wall for added privacy.”
There are five two-storey attached home plans available from Sabal ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 square-feet, and Uljarevic says buyers don’t have to wait for the second unit to be sold before construction can start on their home.
The Atwood show home has been very well received since it opened in September as it presents a very modern feel with open space. Both have three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the Atwood A is at 1,464 square-feet, while the Atwood B is at 1,364 square-feet.
The rear location of the kitchen gives the Atwood a bright, open and fluid feel, and provides easy access from the kitchen to the back-yard deck. The Atwood A includes a main floor tech spot and upper floor laundry area while both sides feature impressive master retreats with large ensuites and walk-in closets.
The kitchen — as is in every Sabal home — is the heart of the Atwood, the L-shaped kitchen counter and functional eating bar blends well with the full-height backsplash and the 42-inch full-height cabinets and stainless appliances give the entire home a sublimely cozy feel.
The Atwood A show home also showcases an optional finished basement development that expands the livability of the home with a further 668 square-feet. “Our customers that are following the trend of ‘right sizing’ from larger homes love the flexibility to create distinct and different living areas, and basement development help them achieve that,” says Vogelsang.
The lure of the lakeside lifestyle in Mahogany is undoubtedly a major attraction for Sabal Homes as this premiere community in the southeast developed by Hopewell Residential Communities will be a series of residential neighbourhoods anchored by a strong mixed-use urban core and connected to a private and inspiring 63-acre freshwater lake.
Mahogany offers residents outdoor spaces and experiences that most Calgarians have to leave the city to enjoy. In addition to the commercial centre and schools that are planned for the neighbourhood, Mahogany is ideally situated in that it will have C-Train access on the future southeast line and is right next to the new South Calgary hospital currently under construction.
Sabal’s attached homes are exclusive in Mahogany and can only be built in select locations throughout the community; with additional lakefront view homesites being added next year. For anyone who is looking to move in sooner, Sabal has a great selection of quick possession attached homes.
