Early in the new year, Carrington Homes opened the doors to its newest showhome in Trailhead at the Ponds, and it’s a milestone worth celebrating.
Proudly introducing the Silva F model: a 3,557 sq. ft. walkout home that blends timeless French farmhouse design with thoughtful modern living. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a double attached garage, this is a home designed to flex with real life; today and well into the future.
A Walkout Home That Opens Up New Possibilities
One of the defining features of the Silva F is its walkout-style design. Rather than treating the lower level as an afterthought, this home embraces the natural grade to create a bright, functional basement level that feels just as intentional as the main floor.
Large windows, direct outdoor access, and flexible layouts make this space ideal for family living. This walkout configuration also means outdoor living is woven throughout the home.
From shaded patios to sun-covered decks, the Silva F makes it easy to enjoy Trailhead’s natural surroundings from multiple levels of the house.
A Welcoming Main Floor with Purposeful Flow
Step inside, and the Silva F immediately sets a tone of warmth and ease.
The covered front entry leads into a foyer with generous ceiling heights, double doors, and architectural detailing that feels grand without being intimidating. Soft finishes create a welcoming first impression; one that feels like home, not a showroom.
Just off the foyer is a den or optional bedroom, with a full bathroom and ample storage steps away. This flexible space is ideal for a home office, guest room, or multigenerational living, offering privacy without separation from the rest of the home.
From there, the layout opens into a beautiful open-concept main floor. The kitchen, dining area, and great room flow together naturally, creating a space designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. The great room centres around a statement fireplace with arched built-ins, warm finishes, and layered lighting that makes the room feel inviting at any time of day.
Lastly, large windows bring in natural light, while access to a large shaded or sun-covered deck extends the living space outdoors. This makes it perfect for summer dinners, quiet mornings, or hosting friends.
A Kitchen Designed to Be Used, Not Just Admired
At the heart of the main floor is a kitchen that balances beauty with real-world functionality. Warm wood tones, soft taupe cabinetry, integrated appliances, quartz surfaces, and carefully selected finishes give the space a refined yet relaxed feel. Open shelving and glass-front cabinets keep things light and airy, while smart storage solutions ensure everything has a place.
The oversized island anchors the space, creating a natural gathering point for family life, whether that’s weekday breakfasts, homework sessions, or casual entertaining. Pendant lighting above the island adds warmth and personality without overwhelming the space, while under-cabinet lighting ensures everything works just as well at night as it does during the day.
Just beyond the kitchen, a walk-in pantry adds convenience without sacrificing style. Arched detailing and cohesive finishes ensure it feels like an extension of the home rather than a purely utilitarian space.
A Primary Suite That Feels Like a True Retreat
The primary bedroom is designed to be exactly what it should be: a place to exhale.
Located on the main floor, the suite offers direct access to the deck, allowing you to step outside and start or end your day in the fresh air. The bedroom itself feels calm and grounded, with thoughtful proportions and architectural detailing that elevate the space without overwhelming it.
The 5-piece ensuite continues the French farmhouse influence with elegant arches, layered lighting, and carefully chosen finishes that feel spa-inspired yet approachable. A large walk-in closet completes the suite, offering storage that’s generous, organized, and designed for everyday use.
With main-floor laundry conveniently located nearby, this level of the home supports easy, single-level living while still offering room to grow.
The Walkout Basement: Flexible, Functional, and Full of Light
Downstairs, the Silva F continues to impress.
The walkout basement includes a spacious family room, rec room, secondary bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom, and a junior suite complete with a walk-in closet, shared full bath, and a large storage room. This layout is ideal for teens, guests, extended family, or creating distinct zones for work and play.
Natural light and direct outdoor access ensure this level never feels dark or disconnected. Instead, it functions as a true extension of the home, one that adapts as your needs change.
Optional Legal Suite: Built-In Income or Multigenerational Living
One of the most compelling features of the Silva F is the option to include a separate legal income suite on the lower level.
Designed with privacy and comfort in mind, the suite features:
- A private entrance, separate from the owner’s front entry
- Access to a private covered patio
- A U-shaped kitchen with open concept living and dining
- A bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom
- In-suite laundry
- Ample storage
For homeowners, this means flexibility. Whether you’re planning for rental income, housing extended family, or futureproofing your investment, the legal suite option allows the home to evolve alongside your life.
