Taking care of a home is a lot of work. For many it’s fun to take care of a yard, shovel snow and make improvements to their home, but for others, these tasks can feel tedious. Perhaps you have done it for years and need a break or you have more space than you need now.
For those who wish to downsize because the kids have moved out, to reduce the tediousness of home maintenance, for easier travel or because you simply want beautiful views of the Okanagan Valley, The Uplands condos in Lake Country might be the right fit for you.
Having most of your house maintenance done for you is quite the luxury. At The Uplands, the condos are built with xeriscape landscaping, which saves time, water and cost. Each plant has drip irrigation and, with no lawn, there is minimum maintenance which lowers the strata costs even more.
Water, snow removal, landscaping, lighting and more is all included in the strata. Now, you may be thinking that, with maintenance being covered, the strata costs would be quite high, but that’s not the case. Strata can be as low as $139 - $217 per month, depending on the condo you purchase of course.
These condos also give residents the freedom to travel. Those that wish to lock the doors and go on a long vacation or frequent vacations can do so without worrying about their home.
There are no age restrictions, families are welcome, and small pets are allowed. Those looking to downsize or live with less house maintenance taking up their time will love The Uplands.
There are 32 single-level condos in this small, gated community and the first of two 16-unit buildings are now available. Each condo offers beautiful views of the farms and orchards below from various parts of the home and every unit has its own garage.
The kitchens have an island and there is plenty of room to prepare whatever you like. There are beautiful, contemporary cabinets with soft close doors and drawers and a variety of plans to choose from, including some with a walk-in pantry.
Every house includes seven upscale appliances, including a laundry set and the option to upgrade to a stainless steel gas range. With quartz countertops, refrigerators with ice and water, these homes are equipped to give you a sense of elegance each and every day.
Some plans have full-sized laundry rooms with the option of either a stacking or side-by-side washer and dryer. The bathrooms have spacious glass showers, stylish sinks, vanity lighting on a motion sensor and quartz countertops.
Natural gas is used as an efficient energy source to heat the condo — which is about a quarter the cost of electricity. The centralized duct system gives you central heat as well as air conditioning throughout the home.
Depending on the layout, some bedrooms and living rooms look out over the farms and orchards, offering you gorgeous views any time of the day. Each condo is built with superior sound absorption so you can enjoy the views without any interruptions. Not to mention the generous patio or deck that opens up from the living room — a great way to relax out in the Okanagan sun!
The condos have a wide variety of deluxe appliances and features, but upgrades are also available. Additional garage parking spaces are available on a first come first serve basis. If you need extra storage, there are storage lockers by the garage.
For some, a penthouse might be the way to go. These units are 1,789 and 1,879 square feet and include some luxurious options. The master bathroom has ceramic tile heated floors and a larger glass shower with a bench seat. In the kitchen, there are top of the line KitchenAid appliances with a true convection electric oven. There are only two of these penthouses in the first building so be sure to check them out while you can!
