PUBLIC REMARKS — WRITTEN (2,478 characters):
Some homes are built to sell. This one was built to live in, crafted by one of Calgary's luxury custom home builders for his own family. That intention shows everywhere: 8' solid-core Lo Gullo doors you won't find in any other home, Lux windows, Emtek and Italyca hardware, Hinkley lighting, and custom built-ins in every room and closet. When a builder creates a home for his own family, every decision is made for the decades ahead, and the difference is easy to feel the moment you walk in.
Then there's the life that comes with it. Summer evenings at the folk festival on Prince's Island. Dinner at River Café. Morning runs on the Bow River Pathways and sunset views from McHugh Bluff. Farmers' markets and cricket matches at Riley Park, an indie film at the Plaza Theatre, and Kensington's cafés, bookshops, and restaurants six minutes from your front door. Downtown is a ten-minute bike ride along the river. Few communities in Canada offer this, and few homes let you enjoy it from a detached, custom-built residence on a quiet, tree-lined street.
As a detached home, it offers windows and natural light on all four sides, complete privacy with no shared walls, and a fully fenced, landscaped yard with irrigation and landscape lighting. Unlike a typical new build, it comes complete: premium Wolf and Miele appliances, Hunter Douglas window coverings, central air conditioning, and a 6-zone Russound sound system that extends outdoors are all included. The main floor flows from formal dining to a chef's kitchen with granite island, anchored by a graceful curved staircase with wrought-iron spindles. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary with custom wardrobes and marble ensuite, plus upper-floor laundry with brand new washer and dryer. The loft level is the best seat in the house: an executive lounge or office with wet bar, full bath, and a flexible fifth bedroom. Every space up here, including the private balcony, frames downtown skyline views. The developed basement adds a rec room, second wet bar with a 125-bottle wine fridge, a bedroom, and a full bath. In-floor heat, a security system, and a brick, metal-clad and Hardie exterior with metal gutters complete a home built with materials chosen for a lifetime.
A new home offers a possession date. This one offers the finished product: true craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a lifestyle that starts the moment you walk out the front door. Vacant, easy to show, and available for a quick possession.
