Located in picturesqu­e Russell Township just southeast of Ottawa, the enclave of Embrun Central is the latest welcoming community by multi-awardwinni­ng builder eq Homes, which has a long-establishe­d track record of building quality homes in the Ottawa area.

With nature, great local schools and a highly coveted small-town vibe, Embrun Central emphasizes healthy living and quality of life for families that choose make their homes there.

“It’s important for us not only to build quality homes, but also to build communitie­s that offer great quality of life,” says Josh Kardish, senior vice-president of eq Homes. “Embrun Central’s proximity to amazing outdoor parks, trails and recreation makes it an ideal place for families of all ages and stages of life.”

For a small community, Embrun Central packs a lot of punch:

• It’s a friendly, close-knit community with an appreciati­on for a calmer pace of life.

•It’s in a scenic region near parks, lakes and trails where residents can enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, boating and more, including the New York Central Fitness Trail.

• There are a range of community services and amenities, from schools, healthcare facilities and shopping to recreation­al facilities, many parks and the Castor River.

•It’s centrally located in Embrun with an establishe­d community surroundin­g it, which means more amenities from the day you get your keys.

•There are a range of homes to choose from to meet every family’s need. Embrun Central will see 151 homes when complete, a mix of 35 bungalows and two-storey singles, and 116 modern townhomes, with homes ranging from 1,200 to 3,400 square feet and two to five bedrooms. Homes start under $490,000 and come with designer cabinets, smart home technology, oversized windows, and nine-foot main floors among their features.

To show buyers the quality of its homes, eq is opening a designer-decorated model of its Elliot floorplan.

“We can’t wait for the public to be able to experience this unique home that we and the eq team have worked hard to create,” says Josée Sigouin, senior designer and design manager at the award-winning interior design firm West of Main, which has worked on many model homes with eq. “The home’s layout is designed to welcome abundant natural light, enhancing its open and airy feel.”

She says the interior design of the home “draws deeply from its unique location — a historical township encircled by picturesqu­e agricultur­al land,” emphasizin­g classic features, soft neutrals and textures, and earth tones.

The four-bedroom single-family home boasts an open-concept main floor that includes a mudroom, walk-in pantry, separate den, dining room with 18-foot ceilings, and spacious bedrooms upstairs, each with a dedicated bathroom.
