I have listed a new property at 116 Winding River RISE in Rural Rocky View County. See details here
Nestled in the prestigious Elbow Valley, this 5000-sf richly appointed home offers a tranquil retreat on the edge of the city. Upon entry you will feel the home’s generous proportions, great light and high grade of finishing, which extends from the substantial millwork to the extensive built-ins, bronze hardware and site-finished hardwood throughout. The renovated kitchen is magazine-worthy with chevron marble tile backsplash, quartz counters, integrated Subzero refrigerator & freezer and Viking gas range. The spacious dining area offers seating for 12 and the cozy boho-chic style living area is centered on a carved-stone wood-burning fireplace. Off the entrance is a stylish den with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and large windows. Completing the main floor is a powder room with rich cabinetry and copper sink, and an oversized laundry room with abundant storage. Hardwood carries through to the upper floor where you will find the primary bedroom retreat with vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace. Ensuite features dual vanities, soaker tub, in-floor heating and steam shower. Best of all it connects to your dream closet area with central island and three tiers of storage. The second bedroom likewise has its own ensuite and large, custom walk-in closet. Above the triple-car garage is an expansive third bedroom and bathroom suite which could function as a teen/tween bedroom, mother-in-law/nanny/guest suite or home studio. This space has been recently renovated including a fully updated bathroom and new carpet. The walkout basement offers a fourth bedroom and full bathroom, as well as a wet bar, gas fireplace, entertaining area, media wall, wine room, and dream gym. From the basement you can access the lower patio area with hot tub and a landscaped backyard and green space. Recent notable updates include new boiler system (2024), new contemporary lighting (2021) and relatively recent roofing (2018). The entire interior including ceilings and millwork was professionally re-painted at a cost of $40,000 in 2021. Overall, this house is ultra polished and has been maintained to the highest standards. Elbow Valley is a private community on the western edge of Calgary offering significant natural beauty and numerous amenities including swimming, pathways, ice skating, golfing, tennis/pickleball courts, beach, kayaks, standup paddle boards, fishing, and off-leash areas. Located 1 km outside Calgary city limits, you will enjoy the benefits of tranquil country living and substantially lower property taxes, while being only 25 minutes from downtown Calgary, 10 minutes to the Westhills and Aspen Landing shopping areas, and 10 minutes from public schools and top private schools (Webber, Rundle & Calgary Academy). The new Stoney Trail ring road provides easy access to the rest of the city including Calgary International Airport (30 minutes away).
