Finally...Mattamy opens their model townhomes

After entering the Ottawa market for over two years and having sold a bunch of widelot townhomes in Kanata and Barrhaven, Mattamy finally has available two model townhomes open for viewing: Maplefield End and Fernwater End. There is a third one in between them but it was not complete. Actually, it wasn't anywhere near complete. Not sure if that was part of the plan.

Both model homes are very nice. Not surprisingly, they did quite a few upgrades to them both. Probably not a bad thing that they didn't have these models ready when I was buying as I probably would have spent more on upgrades. Hahaha. But it was definitely nice to walk through a Fernwater. It got me rethinking about how I will place my furniture. For example, I think I will put the loveseat along the wall with the window and center the sofa like on the main wall as pictured below.
The kitchen layout is slightly different than mine. The biggest difference is that the dishwasher is located to the right of the sink and therefore the breakfast bar extends out further. I don't recall that being an option when I had bought so I'm guessing it's a new Architect's Choice option. Not sure if I would have gone with this option though. If I did, there wouldn't be much room to put a table in the kitchen area.

Update on my house: I went by my house since I was in the neighbourhood. Just as I arrived, a couple of cleaners just had finished up my house. They were kind enough to let me go in the house before they locked up. So, I snapped some pictures of the insides with it mostly clean. The carpeting was not done but the underpad had been laid down. I could see that a few other small things still needed to be done but it was refreshing to see it so close to the finish product. I chatted with the cleaners afterwards and they were telling me how they usually clean each house three times. Their next two visits to my home will be just before my PDI and then again on my closing date.
