Moving into a new home is one of life’s pleasures. A newly constructed home offers a fresh start, a new neighbourhood and a chance to design and decorate every room to fit your family’s needs. This fall we meet happy homeowners who hand- picked their local builders to raise a home to match their lifestyle.

TELL US ABOUT THE RAVINES OF MATHESON CREEK NEIGHBOURHOOD AND WHY YOU PICKED IT?:
We chose this neighbourhood because we wanted a bungalow on a large estate-type lot that was outside the city yet close enough to all the amenities. DreamWood Homes offered the perfect combination of quality workmanship and value, together with the high-end features we were looking for.
WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND YOUR CUSTOM BUILDER, DREAMWOOD HOMES?
The DreamWood team built a quality home and made the experience enjoyable. Tino Zarcone has a great vision and a style that was complimentary to ours, making our design decisions that much easier. One of the highlights has been the post- sale experience as Tino and Chris Nitsopoulos et al truly care about a quality customer experience.
IN WHAT PART OF THE HOME DOES YOUR FAMILY GATHER MOST AND WHY?
We gather most in the great room with its comfortable seating, airy atmosphere and immediate proximity to the kitchen. No matter the season, your eyes can’t help but be drawn to the view outside through the expansive windows that line the back of our house. It’s truly the heart of our home.
