ELMIRA
A Copper Bay Homes Community in Elmira.
Experience a new chapter of refined small-town living in the heart of Elmira at Wallace Town Terrace. Set on Ernst Street, this limited collection of eight townhomes brings together timeless exterior architecture, practical family-focused layouts, and Copper Bay Homes designed interiors crafted for the way people live today.
Built by Copper Bay Homes, Wallace Town Terrace reflects the care, detail, and construction discipline of a local design-build team known for creating homes with lasting value. Each residence is thoughtfully planned with 3-4 bedrooms, 2.5-3.5 bathrooms, quality finishes, and a separate basement entrance, offering future flexibility for a legal second unit, rental suite, in-law suite, or additional living space.
Inspired by Elmira’s heritage character and neighbourly warmth, Wallace Town Terrace offers the feel of established residential living with the comfort and efficiency of a new home. From its balanced exterior design to its functional floorplans and modern finishes, every detail is intended to deliver more than a place to live. It is a home built with purpose, flexibility, and long-term livability in mind.
Located close to local shops, dining, schools, parks, farmers’ markets, and major routes, Wallace Town Terrace places homeowners in one of Waterloo Region’s most welcoming communities. Whether you are a growing family, a downsizer, a first-time buyer, or an investor looking for smart optionality, this rare release of eight individually addressed townhomes offers a distinctive opportunity to own a Copper Bay Homes residence in Elmira’s core.
The Wallace Collection begins with the land beneath it. Long before this site became a neighbourhood gathering place, and long before Elmira grew into the community it is today, it formed part of the vast Block Three lands acquired by William Wallace from the British Crown in 1798. His later sale of a significant portion of those lands to Pennsylvania Mennonite settlers helped establish the foundation for Woolwich Township’s early growth.
That history gives Wallace Town Terrace its name and its sense of place. Formerly the site of a cherished community pool, the property is entering a new chapter as a residential address designed to carry forward the area’s spirit of connection, permanence, and local pride.
With The Wallace Collection, Copper Bay Homes is renewing a familiar site with homes that respect Elmira’s past while contributing to its future. Rooted in local heritage and shaped for modern ownership, Wallace Town Terrace brings thoughtful infill development to a community defined by character, continuity, and neighbourly living.
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Elmira at Your Doorstep.
Set within Elmira’s established core, Wallace Town Terrace offers the kind of location that is becoming increasingly rare: quiet residential living with everyday amenities close at hand. Just steps from the Woolwich Memorial Centre, residents are connected to one of the township’s key community hubs, with recreation, aquatics, fitness, sport, and gathering spaces woven into daily life.
From Ernst Street, life moves easily. Downtown Elmira is close by, offering the local shops, services, cafés, and small-town main street character that make the community feel personal rather than generic. It is a place where errands, school drop-offs, weekend markets, and evening walks can become part of a natural rhythm, not another item on the schedule. The Township describes Downtown Elmira as a charming, tight-knit community with strong Mennonite roots.
Small-Town Charm, Regional Connection.
Wallace Town Terrace gives homeowners the benefit of Elmira’s quieter pace while keeping the broader Waterloo Region within reach. Local schools, parks, community facilities, dining, and major routes are all nearby, creating a practical home base for families, downsizers, and professionals who want more space and character without disconnecting from the region.
Elmira also offers a distinct connection to Waterloo Region’s market culture and rural landscape. The Elmira Farmers’ Market runs seasonally on Saturdays, while nearby St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market is recognized as Canada’s largest year-round farmers’ market. For outdoor living, Woolwich trails connect residents to walking, cycling, and the Kissing Bridge Trailway, reinforcing the balance of neighbourhood convenience and countryside access.
A Community Built for Everyday Living.
This is not a location built around spectacle. It is built around usefulness, familiarity, and quality of life. Morning coffee downtown, hockey practice across the street, a weekend trip to the market, a trail walk at the edge of town, or a simple evening at home all fit naturally into the lifestyle at Wallace Town Terrace.
For purchasers looking for a home with lasting livability, Elmira offers something increasingly hard to manufacture: a real community, with history, amenities, and room to breathe. Wallace Town Terrace places that lifestyle within reach, in a neighbourhood that feels established from day one.
ARCHITECTURE
Familiar Form.
Fresh Expression.
Wallace Town Terrace is designed with a timeless streetscape presence, pairing traditional gabled rooflines, warm buff brick masonry natural to the Region, dark architectural accents, and covered front entries with a clean, contemporary sensibility. The result is a familiar residential form, refined for modern townhome living.
Each home is composed to feel homey while contributing to a cohesive architectural rhythm along Ernst Street. Repeated front gables, generous windows, defined entryways, and landscaped front yards create a strong neighbourhood character, while the brick exterior and restrained colour palette give the development a sense of permanence from day one.
Built by Copper Bay Homes, Wallace Town Terrace reflects their practical approach to design with durable materials, balanced proportions, efficient layouts, and details that feel considered without being overstated. It is architecture intended to age well, fit naturally within Elmira’s established fabric, and provide homeowners with the comfort of a new home that still feels rooted in place.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Warmly Modern.
Naturally Refined.
Interiors at Wallace Town Terrace are designed to feel calm, bright, and highly livable. Open-concept main floors bring the kitchen, dining, and living areas together with natural light, warm wood tones, soft neutral finishes, and thoughtful details that make each home feel polished without feeling overdone.
Everyday Comfort, Elevated.
Each residence is planned around the rhythms of daily life: gathering in the kitchen, hosting around the island, relaxing by the fireplace, working from home, and retreating to quiet bedrooms at the end of the day. Generous windows, clean trim profiles, warm flooring, and layered lighting create a sense of comfort throughout the home.
Timeless Kitchens.
The kitchens at Wallace Town Terrace are designed as the centre of the home. Classic cabinetry, stone-inspired countertops, tile backsplashes, pendant lighting, and warm wood island details create a refined but practical space for cooking, entertaining, and everyday family living. The result is a kitchen that feels current today and will continue to age well.
Calm, Considered Bathrooms.
Bathrooms are finished with a clean, spa-inspired approach, balancing warm vanities, light countertops, elegant mirrors, modern fixtures, and soft tile selections. Primary ensuites are designed to feel composed and functional, with double vanities and glass shower enclosures creating a more elevated daily routine.
Designed for Real Life.
From the main living areas to the bedrooms, baths, and optional lower-level opportunities, Wallace Town Terrace is built around flexibility and long-term use. These are interiors with enough refinement to feel special, and enough practicality to work hard for families, professionals, downsizers, and homeowners planning for the future.
