The design
John Brown, a registered architect specializing in residential architecture and age-in-community design, is the designer behind this elegant home. He’s also the founding principal of Housebrand, a design-build company, and the Dean of Architecture at the University of Calgary.
With its rich wood panels and sleek architectural glass, the home’s exterior has a timeless and modern feel. Inside, there are soaring ceilings, full-height windows, a lounge area and a connected layout. Details like these are features that Brown incorporates into his house designs to create family-friendly, sophisticated and timeless homes.
What to love
The home’s impressive great room boasts a statement fireplace, soaring ceilings and expansive windows. Leading off the great room is the elegant dining room with a second fireplace, chandelier and warm accents. The gourmet kitchen is an entertainer’s dream with an extra-large island with seating, top-of-the-line appliances, a wine cooler and a double-wall oven.
Full-height NanaWall accordion windows open from the living room to the outdoors to expand the space further. A mahogany patio with a lounge area and fireplace, dining area, and room for cooking add even more entertainment space.
The upstairs primary suite is a private sanctuary with a fireplace, blackout drapes, an adjacent lounge and a private balcony. The ensuite is outfitted with skylights, dual basin sinks, a two-person soaker tub and a steam shower.
The downstairs area is designed for game nights or movie marathons with a surround sound system, wall-mounted TV and a wet bar.
What to consider
In addition to the luxury offerings within the home, its proximity to downtown, Foothills Hospital, and the University of Calgary may also be appealing to buyers. The West Hillhurst community also provides access to extensive pathways for biking or walking throughout the year.
