We are very pleased to present this truly Architecturally Significant home in the heart of the community of West Hillhurst. Nestled along the tree canopied and highly desirable/whisper-quiet, Seventh Avenue – function, aesthetic, and construction methods have all contributed to the impact and importance of this stunning and gracious inner city family home. Our clients’ vision was to build an energy efficient near net-zero legacy home in the community that will last well into the next century.
In order to achieve this goal the home was constructed using the structurally superior Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) (stacked, steel-reinforced, and then filled with concrete), spray-foamed the attic and all joists and is decorated with Kolbe doors and double-hung wood frame windows. The stone masonry on the front and back of the home was hand-laid with Rundle Rock and capped with beautiful Tyndall limestone (from quarries in Canmore and Manitoba, respectively). This well-appointed home was designed by award winning DeJong Design Associates in collaboration with Bruce Johnson Interior Design. It blends sophistication and casual elegance through the use of appropriate scale and proportion, top of the line finishes – custom millwork/built-ins, stunning lighting package – all lend to ensuring a beautiful and calming experience from each vantage point in this 5400+sq ft home.

There is a true ‘sense of discovery’ as you walk from the entrance area (that hosts the very quiet and private office – complete with fireplace) towards the other living areas. Heated white-oak engineered hardwood (all flooring heated throughout), leading past the dining area to the expansive chef’s kitchen (this incredible Denca kitchen – has a grand pantry, ample storage, and premium Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances) opening to the great room. The expansive windows facing the private south backyard oasis are a true engineering feat' they extend across the back of the house and then wrap around the corners lending to an expansive view and plenty of sunshine year-round. The breathtaking stone fireplace feature in the rear yard is made of the same Rundle Rock and Tyndall Stone that wrap the home and is adjacent to the eyecatching pergola as well as the luxurious over-sized heated double garage. The upper floor has the convenience of a laundry room, and three gracious bedrooms, (including the a luxury principal bedroom featuring a spa-like retreat and generous, well-designed walk-in closet). The lower level has wool carpet with two additional bedrooms, a large media centre, an exquisite bar (with all top of the line appliances) and recreation area, and an expansive gym area. Please check the supplements attached to this listing for more details and descriptions. Walking distance to the Foothills & Children&#39's Hospitals, Helicopter Park, Bow River Pathway system, and minutes to downtown, Market Mall, Kensington and University District. It is truly unique to experience such a robust and serene family home.
