Large ravine-side lots available at Brooklin's Forest

It's not often that homebuyers can tour three fully decorated model homes on the grand opening of a new community. That's exactly what people can expect, however, at Zancor Homes' Brooklin's Forest in Olde Winchester.

In advance of the community's grand opening in June, interested purchasers can register online at www.zancorhomes.com, and take full advantage of receiving the best selection at preview prices

"Brooklin's Forest lots are extra deep and the majority of them back onto forest or ravine," says Fabrizio Cortellucci, president of Zancor Homes. "Also, this is the seventh and final phase of new home development in the Olde Winchester community so there is overwhelming demand for these lots. I encourage everyone to register early, so they don't miss out on such a great opportunity."

As one of the most coveted neighbourhood east of the GTA, Brooklin's Forest is steeped in charming history as well as natural splendor. The Town of Brooklin offers every modern convenience, yet retains its small town appeal.

In summer, take in a host of community events at Grass Park, including Spring Fair, Art in the Park and summer concerts. At the Brooklin Farmers' Market, enjoy fresh local produce, flowers and crafts from local artisans.

Ideal for family living, this north Whitby community of single-detached homes is close to plenty of schools, several neighbourhood parks, and Brooklin's Community Centre and library.

Brooklin's Forest streetscapes are adorned with heritage street lighting and homes have classic Victorian-style architecture, with large wrap around porches and balconies for some models.

Exteriors are finished in brick or stone, with vertical board and batton style siding, and they include decorative details for a custom look. All homes are also built to the Energy Star-standard, for greater energy efficiency.

Nestled between the lush greenery of a mature forest and rolling ravines, Brooklin's Forest offers plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Lots are, on average, 140 ft. deep, and some lots have depths of over 200 ft.

In keeping with today's lifestyle and the scenic forest setting, special attention has been paid to the home designs. One excellent feature is oversized windows, which create brighter indoor living space and provide spectacular views to private, forested back yards.

Brand new home designs are available on 40', 43' and 50' lots. There are 20 different floor plans to choose from, including two storey, bungalow, raised bungalow and bungalow with loft designs. Homes range in size, from 1,600 sq. ft. to 3,500 sq. ft., with prices starting from the mid $300s.

Brooklin's Forest is ideally situated north of Winchester Rd., east of Thickson Road, with Whitby Transit and GO Bus going right by the community.

Residents have easy access to Highway 401 and the extended 407 will run just a kilometer south, making commuting a breeze. Great golf courses in the area include the Winchester Golf Course, and the wonderful boutique stores and restaurants in Whitby are just 10 minutes to the south.

"People are moving into a wellestablished neighbourhood with tree-lined streets and close amenities," Cortellucci says. "Construction at Brooklin's Forest will begin this summer, with our first families moving in by the end of the year."
