This is the first in our new series of “adult-lifestyle” communities. We chose this one to kick off this series because it truly is a haven for those wishing to downsize in both size of home and yard but not enjoyment of life!
Nestled in Kanata Lakes and built in the early 2000s, this neighbourhood was built by Phoenix with the homes themselves designed by renowned Toronto architect Ken Viljoen. There are 133 semi-detached bungalows throughout two private streets – Kinmount Private and Goldora Private. They all have attractive curb appeal and landscaping with owners taking amazing care of their gardens. It’s really an amazing, well-cared for environment. The buildings are all freehold dwellings so do not have a high monthly condo fee that covers building maintenance – that remains the responsibility and choice of each owner. However, the buildings are grouped together in what is called a co-tenancy. There is a low monthly fee for maintenance of the common grounds and facilities as well as all snow removal and lawn cutting – including private laneways and yards!
Within this community, right at the center there is a beautiful clubhouse where people gather for family events, community gatherings or simply to relax. There is also a racquet sports court, a salt water swimming pool, concert gazebo and many winding walking paths through beautiful wooded and landscaped areas. There are many informal groups organized within the community such as community BBQs, holiday get togethers, golf, yoga, pickleball, aquafit, bridge, euchre, Mahjong, musical theatre and performance as well as summer entertainment with local performers.
On top of having all of these recreational and social activities right within this cozy community, Tweedsmuir on the Park is located within minutes walking, cycling or driving distance of banking, shopping, dining and entertainment amenities. The 417 is also just minutes away for easy commuting to the rest of Ottawa.
There are six different models. All of which you can view on the community website. They are unique layouts that have been specifically designed to highlight easy main floor living! Many owners purchased upgrades at the time of building and many units have been renovated since then. This area has increased in value very well and is a very solid investment.
We have a lovely new listing available in a great spot in this community at 93 Kinmount Private. The home offers a main level you can live on solely with open concept living space, a primary suite with sitting room, walk-in closet and large ensuite. Plus a great den/second bedroom and full bath. Main floor laundry room leads to your 2 car garage! Bonus – the basement is finished with a rec room, 3rd bedroom and full bath for the grandkids!
