San Rufo Homes is thrilled to share the exciting results of the 2025 Awards of Excellence in Housing—and what a night it was! With two of our standout models nominated and our incredible sales team represented, we came away with a reason to celebrate.

The awards ceremony, held on March 15, brought well-deserved recognition to our very own Billie Spasojevic, who was honoured with the Bronze Sales Volume Award! Meanwhile, The Ronan and The Chase continued to steal the spotlight as shining examples of our design and craftsmanship.

Nominated for Best Multi-Family $300,000 to $350,000: The Ronan Townhome

Affectionately nicknamed “The Cowgirl Chic” by our team, The Ronan is more than just a home—it’s a vibe. Imagine French Country elegance with a playful modern twist, where classic louvres and charming shutters meet sleek black exterior windows. The upgraded front door and Hardie board posts set the stage for a home that feels welcoming from the very first step.

Step inside, and you’ll find a home designed with real life in mind. The 1,564 sq. ft. layout offers three cozy bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and thoughtful touches like upper floor laundry—because, let’s face it, no one loves hauling laundry up and down stairs. The open-concept kitchen, with its oversized island, is perfect for everything from Sunday pancake breakfasts to after-school homework sessions.

But what really sets The Ronan apart is its versatility. With both side and rear entrances, this home offers options—whether it’s for a growing family, multi-generational living, or even rental potential. And the 10’ x 10’ rear deck? It’s practically begging for a summer barbecue or a quiet morning coffee under the open sky.

This home beautifully marries style and function, delivering an inviting space where every detail feels intentional—from the wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring to the premium 50 oz carpet underfoot. It’s a home that doesn’t just accommodate life but enhances it.

Nominated for Best Single Family $350,000 to $400,000: The Chase (Single Family Detached Garage)

If The Chase had a mantra, it’d be “Where life happens.” With 1,699 sq. ft. of thoughtful design, this home is all about creating spaces where families can connect, unwind, and thrive.

The exterior boasts an effortless curb appeal, but it’s what’s inside that truly shines. The second-floor bonus room is the heart of this home—a flexible space that can transform from a movie night hub to a quiet home office or a playroom full of imagination. And for those who love to cook (or snack), the kitchen’s walk-in pantry and oversized island offer not only practicality but also a natural gathering spot for loved ones.

One of our favourite touches is the primary bedroom, perfectly positioned at the front of the home. With large windows that flood the room with natural light, it’s a retreat that feels both private and uplifting. And with three large bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and that oh-so-convenient upstairs laundry, The Chase keeps the daily hustle feeling a bit more manageable.

Whether it’s hosting holidays, building blanket forts, or finding a quiet nook to recharge, The Chase offers the perfect backdrop for all of life’s moments.
