Once in a generation does an opportunity like this come along. Elegant luxury within only minutes of Calgary and Okotoks. A quintessential gated entrance opens to a grand, paved driveway lined with mature trees, which seems to slow the pace of time as you enter. At the house, the driveway arcs around to an open parking area & into the oversized, fully finished, heated & epoxy floored, attached 3 car garage. A stamped concrete step leads to the simply stunning open foyer, where a barrel arched ceiling with hand painted fresco blend into the central living room with a 15ft cathedral tiered ceiling, focal fireplace & magnificent views of the estate, including the sparkling city lights. Thoughtfully designed to offer effortless entertaining or family gatherings, the site-finished hardwood flows into the open formal dining area, cozy tv/sitting area & into the kitchen. The whole home is a fusion of timeless traditional styling with modern cues throughout. The designer kitchen features high-end built-in appliances, full stone back splash, a central wet island, all blending out to the spacious wrap around veranda with countryside views.
