PUBLIC REMARKS — WRITTEN (2,478 characters):
Some homes are built to sell. This one was built to live in, crafted by one of Calgary&#39's luxury custom home builders for his own family. That intention shows everywhere: 8&#39' solid-core Lo Gullo doors you won&#39'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&#39's the life that comes with it. Summer evenings at the folk festival on Prince&#39's Island. Dinner at River Café. Morning runs on the Bow River Pathways and sunset views from McHugh Bluff. Farmers&#39' markets and cricket matches at Riley Park, an indie film at the Plaza Theatre, and Kensington&#39'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&#39'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.
