1214 20 Street NW, Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill

Designed with the utmost thought and care, this grand 6700+ sq ft of living space residence graces an incredible 11,700 sq ft lot in the desirable community of Briar Hill. Striking curb appeal with mature trees and impressive landscaping span the entire front yard as you approach the front veranda. Step through the entry door into a soaring foyer with a 21' high vault. Beyond the large formal dining room for hosting gatherings is the formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and garden doors that open to a deck, patio area, and park-like backyard. A towering 'Banff Springs' inspired wood-burning fireplace warms the family room. The adjacent gourmet kitchen features a Wolf gas cooktop, 2 Wolf convection wall ovens plus a warming drawer, a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, 2 Sub-Zero fridge drawers, a Miele dishwasher, an eat-at-island, and a comfy nook with built-in bench seats. An additional private deck offers space for a BBQ. Tucked away on the main floor lays a den with views of the verandah, a laundry area with a practical mudroom, the easily accessible primary bedroom furnished with 16' vaulted ceilings, a sizable walk-in closet, a 6-piece dream ensuite and access to the backyard. Two individual staircases ascend to the second level that delivers a unique hardwood floor walkway overlooking the foyer and living room below, and 3 additional, all generously sized bedrooms with walk-in closets. The bonus room could make a 4th bedroom. Three full bathrooms and an impressive loft/study area above the family room complete the upstairs. The massive lower level has it all. It features a family room big enough for a 5-on-5 hockey game, a 5th bedroom, a full bathroom with steam room, rec room, a second office, media/theatre room, a music room and loads of storage space. Outside, the South yard is a dog run landscaped with outdoor turf. Finishing this exquisite home are the two separate garages. The double attached garage makes for easy transport for the family and unloading shopping without going outside. The double detached, heated garage equipped with a 2-piece bathroom, 220V, windows and skylights is perfect for hobbyists. Boasting an incredible location, shopping, restaurants, public transit, schools, and parks are steps away. And it's a quick drive to the Foothills Medical Centre, Alberta Children's Hospital and the downtown core. Make this your home and live in a caring, close-knit community.
