"Many people liked our designs, River Oaks Homes is to build their traditionally styled detached homes with rear coach house garage, on 40‘ lots in River Oaks, for occupancy in October of 1995.

These new homes will appeal to families who aren‘t ready for the normal price jump from townhouses, and to ‘execâ€" utive‘ firstâ€"time buyers, such as young professionals." "Our pricing.is very competitive. We are offering great big homes for great prices," agrees developer Marvin Green. "There‘s o garage to block light to the front or centre of the house," says Green, noting that a detached garage allows for a closer, "more traâ€" ditional relationship" between the house and the street, boosting curb appeal and effectively "lengthening" the backyard. Regardless of lot size, the detached garage homes feature the traditional design elements which have made River Oaks Homes prodâ€" ucts so popular, updated to fit the needs of ‘90s families. "These are actually new communiâ€" ties reminiscent of old communities." Added benefits to the traditional design, he notes, include better air circulation, up to 20 per cent more ground space on the first floor, and more extensive use of natural light. The designs maximize use of that light with an abundance of windows. Modern conveniences Although exterior styling conâ€" sciously mimics "the traditional large home plan in Ontario," the four feaâ€" tured layouts offered in River Oaks incorporate such modern touches as cathedral ceilings, doubleâ€"sided fireâ€" places, sunken living rooms and open concept kitchens which flow into generously proportioned breakfast areas and family rooms. A standard feature in each design is a 12‘ by 12‘ patio between the house and the garage â€" a sheltered space that permits a variety of family activities, by providing privacy and some protection from the elements. Cold weather barbecuers take note! Green feels the firm is taking a proactive approach, by providing a product he believes many consumers have always wanted. It‘s all based on the premise of a central hallway, now possible withâ€" out the design encumbrance of a frontâ€"facing garage. Standard features include genuine clay brick, a highâ€"efficiency forced air gas furnace with electronic igniâ€" tion, casement or single hung therâ€" mopane windows, ceramic tiled flooring, pressure balanced showers and upgraded broadloom. Main floor laundry rooms in three designs provide convenient exterior access to side driveways. Service excellence The firm has achieved a rating of Excellent in the 1994 edition of the Home Buyer‘s Guide To After Sales Service, published by the Ontario New Home Warranty Program. "People who move to Oakville seek the kind of imagery that is tradiâ€" tional." That‘s a common phenomenon in the suburbs; people move there because they want the small town feeling, but they don‘t usually get it. We feel that we‘re actually able to deliver something they really like; what they came for in the first place."
