The Best of Everything...Even Walkouts! A walkout or daylight basement floorplan is a plan for a lot that slopes. These plans provide access to the rear yard from the basement level. A walkout is highly desirable, adds value, natural light and much more living space. Best of all, a Woodfield home in Morris Village offers great value: comparable homes in Ottawa are at least $90,000 more. When others invite you to compare... we accept the challenge! After all...seeing is believing.
