The dining area flows seamlessly into a luminous living room, where matching millwork, custom built-ins and a gas fireplace create a warm and inviting focal point. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, showcasing rich walnut cabinetry, expansive stone countertops, a generous eat-up island, beverage fridge, integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf 6-burner gas range, Asko dishwasher and thoughtfully concealed appliance storage. A well-appointed butler’s pantry connects conveniently to the mudroom and oversized triple garage with boiler in-floor heating.

The expansive, irrigated backyard offers exceptional space for children, gardening and outdoor gatherings, complemented by an exterior wood burning fireplace for memorable evenings under the stars. An extra-wide staircase and generous landing lead up to three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. The private primary retreat is thoughtfully separated from the secondary bedrooms and features direct access to the laundry room. The spectacular 6pc ensuite offers heated floors, a steam shower, deep soaker tub and an impressive dressing room with abundant custom closet and drawer storage. The lower level is designed for both recreation and wellness, with in-floor heating and plush carpeting. A spacious rec and games areas is highlighted by a wet bar, while a dedicated home gym with rubber flooring and mirrored wall, fourth bedroom, and 3pc bathroom complete the space. Life in West Hillhurst pairs the character and community feel of an established inner-city neighbourhood with remarkable access to the best of Calgary.
