Home

"The word that is best loved in the language of every nation is home, for when a man's home is born out of his heart and developed through his labour and perfected through his sense of beauty,
it is the very cornerstone of his life."

- Gustav Stickley 1857-1942 A leader in the Arts and Crafts Movement

Enjoy all the charm of the past paired with modern convenience in your Centennial Home, a beautiful reconstruction of a traditional Victorian or Arts and Crafts style home built new for you.

Centennial Homes Ltd. specializes in the construction of new homes built in the classic Victorian or Arts and Crafts styles. Graceful and beautiful, these homes boast the same detailed woodworking and fine finishing of traditional heritage homes - with the added benefit of modern insulation, plumbing and wiring.

A newly-built but traditionally styled Centennial Home is a cost-effective alternative to buying an old heritage home, then spending $100,000 more on repairs. Some buyers of heritage homes pay for their home twice: initially buying the original home and then gutting and rebuilding the entire interior in order to upgrade wiring, plumbing, heating and insulation to modern standards.

All the details - none of the deficits

Centennial Homes builds all the details which make heritage homes unique, with exteriors that delight the eye and interiors that warm the heart.

Their Victorian homes reflect the romantic Queen Anne style, with steeply pitched roofs, octagonal towers, multiple rooflines, and wide, welcoming verandas. Intricate details can include gingerbread trim, bay windows, glass-panelled entry doors, and rows of shaped shingles. Reproducing this intricate style, with its layers of architectural details, demonstrates the construction mastery of this builder.

 

Their American Craftsman style homes capture the committment to craftsmanship which marked homes built in the early 20th Century. This style resonates with warmth and includes broad steps leading to wide verandas with overhanging eaves; gently slopped rooflines accented by charming gables; transomed windows and hand-crafted doors. Inside, you can enjoy some of the custom woodwork typical of this era.

Centennial Homes accurately reproduces the interior spaces and finishes of a Victorian or American Craftsman style while unobtrusively updating the living space to match 21st century life. These reproduction homes may look like they're built in the era of washboards and Victrolas but will be wired to accommodate up-to-date appliances, computers and entertainment centres.

Built to modern standards behind the walls, these homes are safer, more energy-efficient, and more easily maintained than century-old homes. As an owner of a Centennial Home, you will never have to deal with non-standard plumbing or search for repair components that went out of production 75 years ago.
