DESCRIPTION

Modern Living stacks the house above the garage. The ground floor is the practical end — a 40-foot garage, a foyer, laundry and a storage and mechanical room — with the stairs rising to everything else. Upstairs, an open kitchen and living space with a covered deck off it, and two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, one with a walk-in closet. It’s a narrow, tall footprint built for lots where width is what you don’t have.

FAQ

Modern Living, answered.

What does Modern Living's $449,500 starting price include?

It covers the home itself — built to specification, delivered to your site, and installed on a prepared foundation. It does not include the foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits or municipal development charges. Those are quoted separately against your particular lot, because a serviced infill lot and a rural site needing a well and septic produce very different numbers. You get both figures before you commit.

Living space sits above the garage. The ground floor holds the garage, a covered entry, a foyer at 11′-2″ x 12′-0″, a laundry room and a storage and mechanical room. Upstairs is everything else: an open kitchen at 13′-8″ x 11′-10″ with an island, a living room at 13′-6″ x 11′-8″ opening onto a covered deck, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The stairs are how you get to all of it.

Two full bathrooms, both on the upper floor — one at each end, serving the two bedrooms and the living space between them. Neither is a private ensuite; both open off the shared circulation.

One car. The garage is 13′-10″ wide by 40′-0″ deep, so it’s a single bay — two cars side by side needs around 18 to 20 feet of width. What the 40 feet gives you is roughly 18 feet of depth behind the vehicle, which suits a workshop, bikes and gear, or a small trailer. There’s one overhead door, so anything parked behind the car has to come out through it.

It’s 26 feet wide by 41 feet deep, which is a narrow, deep footprint — built for infill lots, tight urban sites and anywhere the buildable area runs long rather than wide. Building up rather than out is what makes that work. As always, setbacks, lot coverage and delivery access are checked at the site visit, since a truck and crane need room to reach the site and set the modules.

Not usually. The ground-floor footprint is around 1,066 sq ft including the garage, and most Ontario municipalities cap detached additional residential units well below that — Toronto limits a garden suite’s first-storey footprint to 645 sq ft, Markham to roughly 969 sq ft, Richmond Hill to 431 sq ft. If a backyard unit is what you’re after, a compact two-storey plan on a smaller footprint is the better fit, and we can help you check your own municipality’s by-law.
