There are homes that impress with finishes, and then there are homes that leave a lasting impression through design. Masterfully envisioned and renovated by award winning architect Thomas Debicki, this one-of-a-kind residence is a striking example of contemporary architecture that balances bold design with effortless livability. Positioned directly across from a tranquil park on a SW exposed corner lot, the home embraces its surroundings through walls of premium European triple glazed tilt-and-turn windows, soaring ceilings, and strategically placed skylights that fill every space with natural light. The dramatic open concept living room is anchored by a custom architectural fireplace and spectacular two-storey windows, creating a space that feels both grand and intimately connected to nature. Every room has been thoughtfully composed to maximize light, privacy, and flow, resulting in an atmosphere rarely found in inner-city living. At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday enjoyment and exceptional entertaining. Premium Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop, convection oven, speed oven, and dishwasher are complemented by granite countertops, generous custom cabinetry, and an eat-up breakfast bar. An adjoining workspace offers the perfect setting for a home office, creative studio, or family command centre, while the spacious dining area seamlessly extends outdoors for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The upper level continues the home's architectural narrative with two spacious bedrooms, a convenient laundry room, and an extraordinary primary retreat unlike anything else. Overlooking the dramatic living space below through a Juliet balcony, the primary features a custom dressing wardrobe with innovative pull-down storage and a serene 5pc ensuite designed for complete relaxation. The fully developed lower level offers impressive oversized above-grade windows that flood the space with natural light, cr eating an inviting extension of the home complete with a generous recreation room, a generous bedroom with its own private ensuite, and abundant storage. Outside, professionally curated landscaping creates a private urban sanctuary. A stone patio, raised garden planters, and a fully zoned irrigation system are surrounded by mature plantings including cherry trees, Saskatoons, raspberries, and currants, offering beauty throughout the seasons and a truly edible landscape. Beyond its remarkable design, the home has been meticulously updated with wireless security with flood and CO2 monitoring and the complete removal of Poly-B plumbing, reflecting the same commitment to quality behind every architectural decision. Just moments from the Bow River pathways, Kensington, downtown, and countless amenities, this is far more than a home—it is a thoughtfully crafted architectural statement where timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unrivalled West Hillhurst location come together in perfect harmony.
