The history
Renowned Canadian artist Angela Morgan has owned this mountain home for two decades. Over the years, she’s added custom renovations, updates and touches of her creative spirit to the home. Represented in galleries around the world, her colourful artwork can also be seen in local public collections at the Glenbow, the University of Calgary and the Alberta Foundation For the Arts.
What to love
This home has lots of enchanting and beautiful details. The vibrant, pastel-coloured walls, custom walnut woodwork and connected spaces make it an ideal family home. As you step into the entrance foyer, look up at the soaring ceiling with wall space to showcase artwork or photos.
The main floor opens to a connected space with bright pink, blue, red and purple walls. The living room is anchored around a charming fireplace and bay window, and is well-designed for entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen, which has splashes of red on the walls, boasts a striking, central marble island, high-end fixtures, ample storage space and a wine fridge. The deck has room for a small barbecue and seating to enjoy a morning coffee and the mountain views.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a beautiful retreat with a feature wall, an elegant ensuite and a walk-in closet. In addition to having an outdoor upper deck, the home also has a breezeway that leads to a rooftop patio with 360-degree views of the mountains and Fernie’s historic downtown. Thanks to the heated concrete walkways and hot tub, the patio is ready to enjoy year-round.
What to consider
This home is located steps away from downtown Fernie and it’s a less than 10-minute drive to the Fernie Alpine Resort chairlift. While it was completely reconstructed in 2008, it retains its historic charm. It’s a bright and welcoming home for families to set down roots.
