Property Description
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Palmerston, The Eleanor offers the rare opportunity to build a home that reflects your style from the ground up. This beautifully designed home by WrightHaven Homes combines timeless curb appeal, a thoughtfully planned layout, and the quality craftsmanship the builder is known for — all within an Energy Star® Certified build.
Step through the covered front porch and into a welcoming foyer with sightlines to the main living spaces. The layout was made for both daily living and entertaining — offering a bright, open-concept kitchen, dining area, and great room anchored by expansive windows that bathe the home in natural light. The kitchen features a central island, designer cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry, with the added benefit of customizing it all to your taste.
A formal dining space sits off the kitchen, ideal for hosting holidays and family dinners, while a spacious mudroom with laundry and garage access keeps things practical. There’s also a main-floor powder room and a generous front-entry den — perfect for a home office, playroom, or library.
Upstairs, four bedrooms offer space for everyone. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a large walk-in closet and a luxury ensuite complete with a glass-enclosed shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity. The three additional bedrooms are well-sized and share a stylish main bath with full tub and shower.
The basement comes unfinished, offering a clean slate with the option to fully finish — adding a rec room, an additional bedroom, and bathroom for even more living space.
Built with top-tier construction standards, The Eleanor includes airtight structural insulated panels, upgraded subfloors, and high-efficiency mechanical systems including an air source heat pump, HRV system, and sealed ductwork for optimized airflow and energy savings. All windows are low-E, argon-filled, and sealed to meet the latest standards in energy performance and air tightness.
And when it comes to location — this one’s special. Palmerston offers that hard-to-find mix of peace, safety, and real community spirit. Families love the local parks, schools, splash pad, pool, and historic Norgan Theatre, while the quiet cul-de-sac location gives kids room to roam and grow.
With WrightHaven Homes, you’re not just building a house — you’re crafting a home with lasting value, built to reflect who you are and how you live.
