New 4-bed Energy Star home with office in Doon South

This brand-new Raina model from Activa is a 2,611 sq ft freehold on a 40-foot lot in Harvest Park, and it's still under construction so you can pick your own finishes. The main floor has a proper home office (8'10" x 10') at the front, which is rare in new builds, plus a powder room and a mudroom off the double garage. The kitchen has a big island with a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and dinette that opens into the 25' x 17' great room. All four bedrooms are upstairs, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and ensuite with double sinks, a glass shower, and a soaker tub. Upper floor laundry is a huge convenience, especially with kids. It's an Energy Star home, so expect lower utility bills. Basement is unfinished, but there's a sump pump and rough-in potential. Location's solid: about 6 minutes to Costco and Fairview Park Mall, 7 minutes to Highway 401, and 4 km to Conestoga College. Huron Heights Secondary is 3.6 km away. Only 7 lots are left in this phase, and the builder's advertising an effective price after HST rebates, so it's around $982k before you adjust. Comparable sold in the area at $879,900, so new construction premium reflects that. You'll get a 2-5-7 warranty, and the yard is flat and ready for a fence.
