Edenmore is finishing up in style in Kincora, as the multi-family development wraps up its final phase with premium ridge lots for its Killian model that has been the subject of intense buyers’ buzz since plans for it came out last year.

“Judging from how busy we’ve been these past few months, we’re very confident that we will be selling out these final lots by summer this year,” says sales manager Ryan Heggedal.  “There will only be 21 units in this final phase and two have already been sold, and interest in these remaining units has been very high.”

The Killian promises to be a defining part of the 84-unit Edenmore townhome project, as they will be sitting along the prized lots backing onto the Kincora ravine. “It’s a terrific, low density location with this natural environment at your backdoor, very quiet, very scenic,” Heggedal adds.

The 1,476-square-foot Killian is the biggest of the four models in Edenmore, and features more of everything that has made the development such a success, including larger pantries, more cabinets and more storage space.

The Killian also has the flexibility to change from a three-bedroom unit to a two master bedroom model. “We’re finding a lot of demand for the two master bedroom units, as we have a lot of single buyers who are looking to supplement mortgage payments by getting a roommate,” he says.

Standard specifications are among the highest in the industry, Heggedal says, including maple cabinets (eight choices of stain), built-in gas fireplace, built-in microwave, nine-foot ceiling in the main floor, brushed chrome interior hardware, and energy-efficient furnace and water tank.

“Edenmore is mindful of the environment and puts in a lot of eco-saving measures in each unit, including using low VOC paints, a programmable thermostat, low-flow water closets and high-performance solar windows,” he adds.

Each unit also comes with hardwood flooring and full height kitchen backsplash. There are plenty of windows in the units as well to maximize the amount of natural lighting. A show suite should be available by the summer.

The Killian has a very modern open design 726-square-foot main floor, with a very functional L-shaped kitchen and centre island. “The pantry is bigger here and there is lots more storage space for pots and pans,” Heggedal says. There’s even more storage space off the double-car garage in the lower level where owners can easily put in a home office or a den.

The entire Edenmore development sits atop a bluff overlooking the rolling grasslands of northwest Calgary, and the majestic views in this quiet enclave of estate homes and a privileged lifestyle has attracted buyers. Phase I is already sold out and only a few are left in Phase II, Heggedal adds.

What draws in buyers, is that for such a priceless view, they can still very well afford to live here. “The Killian starts from $319,900 to $324,900, which is very affordable for first time homebuyers looking to get out of renting, or downsizers wanting a maintenance-free lifestyle.”

But the real attraction is the community, as Kincora boasts miles of walking trails, 120 acres of greenspace — including parks and an environmental reserve — and a spectacular 15 acre water feature,” Heggedal says. “It is definitely a community that makes you feel at home and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle.”

Established in 1984, Aldebaran Enterprises is recognized for their innovative development, construction and marketing of specially designed lifestyle communities in Alberta, British Columbia and New Mexico in the United States.

The Aldebaran success formula has evolved from extensive market research into the demands of today’s homebuyers, combined with meticulous planning in pre-development and strict attention to detail during all phases of construction.
