Mahogany model homes are part of a 480-acre planned community of move-up homes by Minto Communities in Manotick, south of Barrhaven. Minto offers two-storey homes, bungalows and bungalow townhomes in Mahogany.
The 1,630-square-foot Butternut bungalow is anchored by the great room’s fireplace, which is visible from the moment you step through the front door.
The model’s floor-to-ceiling fireplace is bookended by two large windows, adding to the daylight that already floods the open-concept kitchen, dining room and great room. There’s also a handy door leading directly from the kitchen into the mudroom and another door to the garage, making it easy to bring in the groceries.
There’s also a den and two bedrooms on the main floor, with the master bedroom overlooking the backyard. The basement in the model home is finished.
Space and a modern vibe define The Heartwood, a 2,507-square-foot single-family home with four bedrooms.
The neutral palette of the main living area features strong architectural lines, pops of colour and wood accents, and large transom windows. There’s a den, separate dining room and a wall-mounted fireplace in the great room.
The laundry room is upstairs, and the master bedroom has two walk-in closets and a large his-and-hers floating vanity.
Retro accents and mid-century wallpaper help define this 2,957-square-foot model home with four bedrooms.
There’s a separate living room overlooking the spacious covered front porch, along with the den, the kitchen with its break-out breakfast area and the great room with an optional decorative ceiling. The mudroom has a walk-in closet and opens directly to the den for easy access to the home’s main living area.
Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms have walk-in closets.
With its focus on elegance, the 3,200-square-foot Elderberry model is stylish and spacious.
The main floor includes separate living and dining rooms with large transom windows, a den, a kitchen with a servery and walk-in pantry, and a great room featuring a coffered ceiling and a wall-mounted fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling surround.
Each of the four bedrooms has a walk-in closet and either an ensuite or a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
The largest of Minto’s model homes in Mahogany, the Noble is over 3,200 square feet and features four bedrooms.
There’s both a den and a separate dining room on the main floor, with an optional decorative ceiling in the dining area. The large great room also has an optional decorative ceiling and there is a fireplace, while the kitchen includes a servery.
Along with the four bedrooms — each with a walk-in closet — the second storey includes a sunken family room with its own balcony.
