Green with Envy was a bun- galow in Aberfoyle featuring over 4,600 square feet of living space. Eve describes it as “mod- ern living in a whole new light.” The home features a palate of whites, greys, and comforting features such as heated floor- ing and multiple fireplaces. It also features floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for an abun- dance of natural light. Mean- while, the open concept and clean long lines of the cabinetry and trim “communicate a dis- tinctly modern feel.” The home was also designed and fitted to be extremely live- able. It includes “the highest end fixtures, finishes, and ap- pliances,” Shawn says. Much like Avant Garde, Green with Envy was also designed to be “net zero ready,” Eve says. The team at Claxton + Marsh wanted to show clients how efficient a home could be with a smaller foot-print – and cli- ents responded. The home was built on spec, but the home had three buyers competing for it shortly after completion. They sold it for over the asking price not long after the CHBA awards. Avant Garde, meanwhile, was also built on spec, but Shawn and Eve liked the finished prod- uct so much they claimed it for themselves. APRIL 2020 EXCEPTIONAL. EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
