Argyle Burke Mountain offers plenty of variety

Prospective homebuyers have plenty of options at Argyle, a new-home development in Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain neighbourhood.
Two construction companies – Benchmark Homes and Distrikt Homes – will build 64 single-family homes in Infinity Properties’ new subdivision. Benchmark will build on 57 lots, while Distrikt will be responsible for seven homes, explains Ashley Kapler, project sales director for Momentum Realty, the real estate brokerage managing the sales.
With the first phase of 31 lots on the market, buyers can select their home from a variety of plans ranging from 3,100 to more than 3,900 square feet, choose the front elevation from three façade options and pick their favourite interior design scheme from two colour palettes.
While the Benchmark homes all feature a roughed-in security system, a roughed built-in vacuum system and a switched soffit plug for Christmas lights, other upgrades include changing the layout in the basement to include a legal suite with separate entrance; a gas hook-up for a backyard barbecue; a surround sound speaker system; a Nest thermostat to manage energy consumption and an electric-vehicle charging station in the garage.
Benchmark’s show home is the Oxford floor plan with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms.
The show home’s great room is designed to appeal to young families with the open-concept kitchen, living room and dining room. With finishes from the white scheme, the kitchen’s Shaker cabinetry features charcoal-grey lower cabinets and white upper cabinets and the pantry cupboard alongside the refrigerator.
The major appliances are by KitchenAid: a five-burner gas range, a refrigerator with french doors and drawer freezer and dishwasher. The Panasonic microwave is in the island while the double sink’s location – below the kitchen window – comes with a view.
In the living room, the fireplace surround features the same marble-look tiles used in the kitchen backsplash while Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter wall colour – and the engineered hardwood that runs throughout the main floor – connects the family-friendly spaces.
In the master bedroom, the walk-in closet provides plenty of storage, while the ensuite bathroom has a luxurious ambience. The dark wood laminate double vanity has a recessed kick to contribute to the feeling of spaciousness and also benefits from two stylish sconce lights. The free-standing tub with a floor-mounted faucet and the frameless glass shower enclosure all contribute to the spa-like setting.
The Distrikt homes (the show home is nearing completion) will feature stone-clad exterior accents and black-framed windows on the facades that also includes a Craftsman-style front entry door.
The interiors are designed to provide neutral, timeless choices that will enable buyers to introduce their own design preferences into the space with their furniture and possessions.
In the kitchens, the Shaker cabinetry is complemented by the brick-look backsplash – in grey tones for the darker palette and light beige for the white scheme – that comprises porcelain tiles to reduce the grout lines.
Ensuites bathrooms have double vanities with quartz countertops, a MAAX free-standing soaker tub, and semi-frameless glass shower with tile surround.
Tynan Design developed the architectural design and floor plans for all the homes, explains Kapler, adding that while the construction companies are completing several houses to provide a move-in-ready option, other buyers can expect completion within nine to 12 months, depending on approval of permits.
