Find Luxurious Homes in Oshawa in the Hills of Harrowsmith

You don’t have to look far to find luxurious homes in Oshawa.  Brookfield Homes’ Ravine Estate Collection in The Hills of Harrowsmith combines a beautiful setting with stunning homes.
 “It is the most sought after neighbourhood in north Oshawa,” says Brian Tilley, vice-president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes.  “To find a private enclave community of 50’ and 60’ lots is difficult enough.  To find one surrounded by dense forest is almost impossible – until now.”

The Hills of Harrowsmith overlooks the Harmony Creek Conservation Area, and is close to Lake Ontario.  Just south of the community is the Harmony Village Conservation Area, with trails, ponds and parks just minutes away.  Regardless of the season, there is always something to do.  Enjoy nature walks through the trails in the summer, and cross-country skiing in the winter.  Watch the seasons change in the fall, when the trees become a stunning array of reds, yellows and oranges. 

This great new neighbourhood is also close to all the amenities you need.  Big box stores such as Walmart, Canadian Tire, The Great Canadian Superstore are all located just around the corner.  Shopping, restaurants, golf courses, churches, transit, and medical facilities are all nearby.  A public school is already within the community, meaning that families do not need to wait for schools to be built.

In the Ravine Estate Collection features beautiful ravine lot homes backing onto dense woodlots.  Each of the homes comes with an extensive list of standard features.  Gas fireplaces in the family rooms are perfect for cold winter nights, and gourmet kitchens with islands, upgraded cabinetry and breakfast bars make entertaining easy.  Stunning master bedrooms with large walk-in closets and luxurious ensuites offer additional luxury to these homes.  Every home in this collection has a structurally engineered floor system for quieter floors, nine foot ceilings, Moen faucets, American Standard plumbing, and imported ceramic tile.  Brookfield also includes an exterior landscape package.

The Zara is a 3,593 square foot design, available on a 50’ lot.  The main floor has a conservatory, the laundry room, access to the two-car garage, and a covered front porch.  The gourmet kitchen features a servery, an island, a flush breakfast bar and an optional chef’s desk.  Upstairs, each of the five bedrooms has direct access to a bathroom, and two of the bedrooms have cathedral ceilings.  The master bedroom includes a large sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a stunning ensuite with his and her sinks, a make-up counter, and separate shower and oval tub.

In this all brick community, the homes are built on traditional lots, with plenty of room in the backyard.  With a natural buffer around the community, only 85 homes will be built in this community.  With only one road leading into these two quiet courts, surrounded by a mature forested area, yet with all the amenities at your fingertips, the Ravine Collection gives you the best of both worlds.

For more information, please visit the sales office, located on Glenbourne Drive, just west of Townline Road, south of Taunton Road.  It is open Monday through Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday, Sunday and Holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  More information is also available by calling (905) 725-1181.
