Exceptional family estate in the heart of Elboya. Positioned on a massive lot (.27 of an acre or nearly 12,000 ft2) with a sunny and private south rear yard. Incredible landscaping with loads of perennials and tiered gardens, all created by an accomplished horticulturalist. The property also backs onto an ornamental park. Elboya offers everything a family could want: a great sense of community, excellent K-9 school (just 1 block away plus within boundary for Western Canada High School), playgrounds, parks, and an easy walk to the Elbow River pathways and Britannia Village for shopping and dining. Also minutes to the Glencoe Club and the downtown core. This elegant and traditional home was architect-designed and custom built in 2004. 4652 square feet of development with outstanding original quality including a largely brick exterior, 9’ flat-painted ceilings, fantastic windows and abundant top-quality millwork. Soaring double-height entry leads into beautiful principal rooms. The large living room has a woodburning fireplace and the dining room is perfect for entertaining. Full-height windows run across the entire rear of the home and French doors offer access out to the huge terrace. The indoor-outdoor connection is stellar. Professionally designed kitchen with island, walk-in pantry, excellent lighting and workspace and an area for casual dining. Adjacent family room has a wet bar, garden views and another woodburning fireplace. If desired, the wall between the family room and kitchen could be removed. A gracious staircase leads to the upper level with 3 bedrooms and laundry. The very generous primary suite has a large bedroom with sitting area, gas fireplace and garden views, a walk-in closet and a full 5-piece ensuite (double vanity and separate water closet). Both secondary bedrooms are spacious and bright and the house bath has a separate tub and walk-in shower. The huge laundry room has natural light, sink and project/hobby space. The lower level holds a sprawling and flexible recreation room…and don’t miss “rabbit cottage”, the adorable playhouse. Another bedroom, full bath and loads of storage complete this level. Fully finished and heated double garage. The entire property has been beautifully maintained and is now ready for the next lucky family.
