Calgary, Alberta T2S1R7

This house is one of the very best examples of timeless design, quality original construction, an exceptionally high level of maintenance in a 10 out of 10 of Calgary’s most sought-after locations. Architect / designer Jim Taipale collaborated with fellow professionals Richard Lindseth, Douglas Cridland and Chuck Smith creating the house to some likeness of Parisian Seine River townhomes noted for their frontal dimensions. “World-class” is an expression that comes to mind as it would be very well respected in the most sophisticated of the world’s cities. In fact, it was showcased on Alberta Ballet's “Home & Garden” tour and has hosted high level events with Prime Ministers and performing artists, numerous fund-raisers for health, human rights and other good causes as well as family holiday parties, dinners and day-to-day living with ease. The current owner purchased it 6 years ago and if it wasn’t for an expanding family, thought this would be their forever / last house. With the latter in mind, they spent nearly $500K on updates and improvements under the watchful eye of designer Leanne Jenkins, over $200K of which was on luxurious low maintenance landscaping. We could go on and on about the house and lot, but highlights include spectacular Elbow River Valley and Rocky Mountain views, side entry / foyer to maximize the views with 19’ plus ceilings, 10’ ceilings on main, 8 ½’ to 10’ upstairs, hardwood throughout, 2 marble clad wood burning fireplaces, 11 pairs of French doors to the front and rear terraces and Juliet balconies plus several pairs indoors. Each and every window has a view. “Lock it and leave it” is easy here making it an interesting option for buyers considering townhouses or penthouse quality apartment condominiums. (5519326)
