There are multiple developments on the go in the south end of
Stittsville and
Idylea is one of them, with homes being built by
Tartan Homes and Tamarack Homes. The development will see about 670 homes when finished, along with parks, a storm water pond and a future school.
There are currently two model homes to see, both semi-detached ones by Tartan Homes, with more models expected in February 2025 by both builders. Here’s what you’ll see for now if you check out the Idylea model homes.

This home is a two-storey semi-detached that comes with 2,358 sq. ft. and 2.5 bathrooms. It includes an open mud room, walk-in pantry, living room fireplace, second-floor loft and upstairs laundry.
There’s also the option for a fourth bedroom (and third full bathroom) in the basement, which is not shown in the model, although it is finished.
Watch for fun decor items such as the funky use of moulding accents in the mud room, powder room and living room, the glass railing insert upstairs and wallpaper choices in the secondary bedrooms.
Ficus, Tartan Homes

The Ficus is a second semi-detached at Idylea. It comes with 2,576 sq. ft., three-plus bedrooms and 2.5-plus bathrooms. The foyer opens into the dining room, which boasts a geometric feature wall that provides privacy to the kitchen and living room at the back of the home. There’s also a handy opening between the dining room and kitchen.
This home has plenty of dining space: along with the dining room there is bar seating at the island and there’s a breakfast nook to one side. The living room also features a fireplace banked by built-in cabinetry on either side.
There’s more fun with geometric wall moulding upstairs and, similar to the Ivy, a glass railing insert, upstairs laundry and a loft area. And this model does show the optional basement and bathroom in the finished basement.
