For everyday meals, the dining nook’s south-facing windows flood the space with light. For long dinners with friends and family, a private dining room with its own wine fridge sits just off the kitchen. A butler’s pantry keeps appliances and pantry items out of sight. The great room, framed by a gas fireplace, opens into one of the home’s signature spaces: an incredible 3-season room with a wood-burning fireplace and automatic screens.

It has in-floor heating throughout, two more bedrooms and a large rec room anchored by a bar with a keg fridge and taps. The incredible wine cellar is roughed in for temperature control. The attached garage fits four cars comfortably, with a flex bay to display a 5th favorite car or set up a home gym, plus hot and cold water hookups. The elevator allows transport of groceries from the garage to the kitchen. A large mudroom adjoins the garage, and the heated driveway and front walk mean no more shoveling. Elbow Park pairs a quiet residential setting with everything inner-city Calgary has to offer: The Glencoe Club, Elbow Park School, the Elbow Park Tennis Courts and the Elbow River pathway system and downtown are all within walking distance. Few homes bring together this much space, craftsmanship and presence in such a coveted Elbow Park setting. 1217 38th offers a rare opportunity to own a home that feels truly exceptional More detailsListed by CIR Realty- AKBAR NIMJI
