Situated on an extraordinary 12,000 square foot lot in one of Calgary's most sought-after neighbourhoods, this exceptional bungalow offers a rare combination of timeless design, incredible outdoor living, and an expansive backyard that has become nearly impossible to find. Extensively renovated by Paul Lavoie Interior Design and complemented by stunning landscaping from Sundance Landscaping, this home was thoughtfully designed for both everyday family living and effortless entertaining. The heart of the home is the stunning chef's kitchen, where soaring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, an oversized quartz island, and a premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliance package create an inspiring space to gather. Floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized sliding doors flood the home with natural light while seamlessly connecting the interior to the spectacular outdoor living spaces. The professionally landscaped courtyard is designed for every season, featuring a built-in DCS outdoor kitchen with natural gas BBQ, smoker, and side burner, generous dining and lounge areas, a fire table, tranquil water feature, year-round koi pond, built-in irrigation, landscape lighting, and a built-in sunken hot tub. Whether entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this outdoor retreat is a natural extension of the home. Beyond the courtyard, the expansive south-facing backyard offers something increasingly rare in Calgary. Beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private, the sprawling lawn provides endless space for children to play soccer, backyard games, family gatherings, or simply enjoy the outdoors. With room for a trampoline and plenty of space to entertain, this is a backyard where families can truly grow and create lasting memories. The elegant formal living and dining rooms provide beautiful spaces for entertaining, complete with a 146-bottle Sub-Zero wine storage unit. The luxurious primary retreat is framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lush backyard and offers direct access to a private south-facing patio. The full marble ensuite features heated floors, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a beautifully appointed powder room, and a private main floor office complete the thoughtfully designed main level. The bright raised lower level offers a spacious family room, dedicated fitness area with wet bar, enclosed media room with an integrated Murphy bed that easily functions as a fourth bedroom, and a full bathroom with steam shower. Additional highlights include a professionally installed Control4 smart home system, Sonos sound throughout the interior and outdoor living spaces, a new air conditioning unit, two gas-start wood-burning fireplaces, and an oversized heated double garage with custom cabinetry. Whether gathering with friends, raising a family, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own backyard retreat, this is a home designed to be lived in and loved.
