The Frontenac: A Contemporary design on a Classic Layout

With over 2700 sq. ft. and the option for a completely finished basement, families of all sizes will feel right at home in the Frontenac. This model of the 43’ Single Family Home is Elevation C, showcasing the brick and stonework on the exterior of the home. Whether you’re sitting on the front porch for morning coffee or coming home through the double-car garage, the Frontenac is an elegant, modern home you’ll love for a long time.

Immediately as you enter the front door you’re greeted by the large foyer. Right off the foyer is a den, the perfect space for a home office or study room that’s separate enough from the rest of the home so you can concentrate. Or, if you enter through the garage, you’ll find the mudroom with a powder room right next to it. Warm, wide-plank distressed hardwood flooring stretches throughout the main floor of the home – except where there’s ceramic tile – including the separate dining room and great rooms. The soaring 9’ ceilings make every room feel grand, while the stone fireplace in the great room invites gathering from guests and family alike.

As you enter the kitchen, you’ll notice the large eating area and behind it, a waterfall island with quartz countertops. The two-toned cabinets – onyx and oak – lend themselves to the modern, warm aesthetic carefully chosen by KISS Design Group. The hardware and fixtures add a sense of industrial design while remaining casual, comfortable, and relaxed. The spacious kitchen also features a servery for additional elegance and convenience.

Making your way up the stairs, the grandeur of the second floor cannot be missed. There are four bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, a bathroom with optional double sinks, and a laundry room for easy access. The Frontenac also offers a Flex Plan option to include an additional bathroom on the second floor so growing families have enough space to get the day started.

There will be no arguing over closet space in the primary bedroom with two roomy walk-in closets. The 4-piece ensuite, complete with double sinks, lets you escape from life’s responsibilities with a soaker tub.

Through available Flex Plan options, this Frontenac Model Home has a finished basement with a bedroom – also with a walk-in closet – bringing the total count to 5. The basement can be finished without an additional bedroom for families who need more space but don’t need the extra sleeping quarters.

Designing a Minto Model Home may not be new to the KISS Design Group, but each one poses a distinct opportunity to create something new. Donna Correy, lead designer, and Tracey Woodman, senior designer, take the time to imagine the kind of family that may live in the home and design it to their needs. “Their likes, their dislikes, and whether they have a pattern or not – we take it into account,” says Donna. “We want to create the dream, whether it's an illusion or not, that they can have a peaceful life with two children in their home, and everyone would have a space to go to and relax.”
