new. Heritage buildings and stately, tree-covered neighbourhoods are the town’s heart and soul. Tucked away

in a spectacular location is the town’s new premiere address and Starward’s fl agship community, Kitty Murray

well-appointed and innovative layout without the pressure of property maintenance. It’s a “lock and go”

lifestyle – each home is a detached condominium unit, surrounded by professionally landscaped and

to your taste and lifestyle. The condominium corporation will care for both the front and back property,

including all plant and turf care, snow removal (on the streets as well) and an irrigation system in the front

yard of every home. Every detail has been considered to create an uncompromising serene community:

• Great care has been taken to preserve the trees on site;• Exterior materials were selected to highlight the architectual features of every

home with extensive use of stone, brick, and stucco.• Drives and walkways feature decorative pavers;• An irrigation system for common areas; and the front of each home.• Storm water management through an onsite pond;• A minimum of seven exterior pot lights showcase the architectural detail of each

home;• Extensive landscaping in the front yards, with a variety of plant materials to create a

showcase of properties;• Telephone, and cable wires are integrated into light standards to eliminate

unsightly pedestals;• Exteriors are architecturally controlled to ensure a consistent and pleasing

community palette;

innovative design…an exclusive and rare opportunity for the discerning buyer.

private and public golf courses, bustling shopping plazas, one of Canada’s largest
