The Details

After having viewed the models available,

It came down to two options;

1) 3br one storey (Perragaux model)

2) 3br two storey. (Riverside model)



I chose the two storey for a number reasons, one was my roomate dennis, who had visited the Riverside model, mentioned that its layout was more interesting and logical than the others. As mentioned by friends, another reason to go with the two storey was resale. The lot is a 40ft frontage with 109ft depth (at the time of this writing)



After having chosen The Riverside, Covington's real estate rep Mike Mcdonald, procured a deal. I won't go into the financials, but i will list the upgrades as stated in the deal:

• Custom Riverside 3 br two storey residence, 2 car garage, Luxury ensuite.
