When building a home with Foxridge, there are plenty of features that come standard, which would typically be considered upgrades for most builders. This includes quartz countertops in the kitchen, fireplace entertainment centres, laminate flooring – the list goes on. If you’re in the process of building your home with Foxridge, you may be wondering what upgrades are worth investing in. Here are some popular upgrades to consider for your new home.
Energy-Efficient Appliances
Not only do they help contribute to saving the environment, but they also save you money on your electricity bill. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances like fridges, washing machines and dishwashers can make a big difference in your energy consumption and monthly utility costs. This conserved energy can then be used for a different purpose in your home; like naturally stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Outdoor Space
Don’t forget about the exterior of your home! Investing in landscaping, building a deck, or even a firepit area, are some upgrades where you can increase your home’s curb appeal and make your outdoor space more enjoyable. Picture yourself at your new home – entertaining, relaxing and enjoying our hot Manitoba summers in your very own outdoor sanctuary!
Finished Basement
Depending on your budget, finishing your basement at the same time as the rest of your home could save you time, and would guarantee that the materials & finishes you chose throughout the rest of your home will be available for your basement as well, rather than a few years down the road. Plus, finishing your basement can be a great way to add extra living space and bedrooms to your home.
Spice Kitchen
A spice kitchen may be important to you and could be a great addition to your home. Whether you are cooking foods with variety of spices, or dream of a separate space to hide all the mess while hosting a dinner party – a spice kitchen is for you!
These are just a few ideas to consider, if you are making the decision to add upgrades to your new Foxridge home. Choosing the right upgrades can make your home more comfortable, functional and valuable for years to come.
