Description

An exceptionally rare and historic riverfront property and landmark residence located in East Elbow Park - recognized as one of Calgary’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. Situated on one of the most coveted and exclusive lots in the entire city (.23 acres on the Elbow River) the property is discreetly positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac. Taking a leaf from new age minimalism, this home evokes a focus on calm and stillness for a discerning buyer. The architectural inspiration was to create a home that conveyed understated elegance and timeless appeal, and the partnership of Richard Lindseth Architecture and architect Laura Chapman were commissioned - resulting in a true contemporary masterpiece. It was completed in 2020 by award winning Rockwood Custom Homes, a company that was founded on the principles of excellence. This breathtaking and exciting 9500+ sq.ft. home has been meticulously built with scrupulous attention to detail, quiet and luxurious material selection and soaring scale. The flawless pared-back interior palette was a unique collaboration between Rockwood Custom Homes and Cathryn Royer Interior Design. Contributing to the luxury ethos are rough textured boardform concrete interior and exterior walls, neutral cream porcelain oversized heated tile floors, muted light oak millwork throughout, and stunning black aluminum Reynaers energy efficient windows that soar from main floor to the 12’ and 23’ foot ceilings. The energy efficient triple glazed windows are situated to shower varied angles of natural light to almost every room, and the sliding wall/window system allows for a seamless indoor/ outdoor experience. This home has been thoughtfully designed to connect back to nature while offering everyday family living and large-scale entertaining. Located in one of the most desired older neighbourhoods in Calgary, you are close to schools for all ages, the multi-sport Glencoe Club, the Calgary Golf & Country Club, walking distance to the trendy Mission restaurant scene, ten minutes to the downtown core and 20 minutes to the International Airport.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own almost a ¼ acre of river valley land in Calgary’s inner core. The city is Canada’s third-largest after Toronto and Vancouver and considered to be one of the fastest growing in the country. Offering sophisticated urban living in a quiet pastoral setting - this property and home must be seen to be truly appreciated.
