Designed by acclaimed Debicki Speta Design, this architecturally significant property is straight out of the pages of *Dwell* magazine. Extensive light studies were conducted prior to construction, resulting in a home that is bathed in natural light throughout the day. The bespoke design features a meticulously curated floor plan that strikes the perfect balance between style & functionality. A standout feature is the sunken living area, which serves as a stunning focal point. It is anchored by a Gyrofucus Fireplace, imported from Germany & honoured as the "world's most beautiful object" at the 2009 Pulchra Design Awards. Sliding doors open to an inviting covered outdoor sitting area, offering a seamless flow between indoor/outdoor living. The contemporary kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted w/ Sub Zero refrigeration & freezer drawers, a 6-burner gas Bertazonni range, & a panelled Asko dishwasher. Above the dining area, a striking 12-panel glass ceiling allows light to flood the space, enhanced further by custom lighting that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. A few steps down from the kitchen leads to a bespoke library w/ three walls of windows overlooking the backyard, along w/ a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. Conveniently positioned at the front of the home, a spacious home office offers privacy & functionality, while two lg mudrooms ensure the home stays organized & clutter-free. Both the main floor & upper levels are equipped with in-floor heating, providing warmth & comfort throughout the home no matter the season. Reclaimed hardwood stairs, paired w/ a custom iron railing lead to the upper level, where a stunning suspended walkway separates the primary retreat from the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms. The primary suite is a luxurious sanctuary, featuring a generous sleeping area w/ access to a private deck (designed to support a hot tub w/ both hot & cold water). It also includes a spacious walk-in closet & a lavish en-suite bathroom, complete w/ carefully positioned windows to maximize natural light & privacy, along w/ views of the rooftop garden. The 2nd & 3rd bedrooms are both spacious & bright, w/ the option to remove a custom panelled wall between them to create one large bedroom. A beautifully vaulted 4-piece bath completes the upper level. The lower level is equally impressive, w/ large windows that flood the space with natural light. It offers a cozy media area w/ a window bench, a fitness & games area, a full laundry room w/ ample storage, & a guest suite featuring a lg bedroom & a 3-piece bath. The oversized double garage includes in-floor heating for comfort. Set on a 35 x 135-foot lot, the property is just steps from the shops, restaurants, & cafes of Kensington, & a short stroll to the Bow River Pathway System. This home offers a refreshing alternative to the typical spec-built houses across the city, making it a must-see for anyone who values innovative design.
