3830 1A Street SW — Calgary, Alberta

HISTORY: Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School of Architecture, this home mirrors the Flat Open Landscape of our Prairies, connecting spaces through horizontal lines and repeated natural materials. Originally built in 1984, the home was reduced to the front standing façade in 2015 and the entire new home was constructed behind it. (Architects McIntyre Bills) The Streetscape's beautiful garden (Good Fellow Fine Gardening) sits in rich contrast to the understated geometric façade of the home. GROUND LEVEL: The entry cheerfully greets and draws to the private, sun-filled study/office. West facing sliding glass doors open to a lone mayday and the Parkhill Ridge beyond. A 2pc powder room complete this level. SECOND LEVEL: Stepping up to the main living area, an expansive welcome awaits: The kitchen, with over 300sqft of culinary space, offers top of the line Gaggenau, Miele and Subzero Appliances (2 Gaggenau ovens, 2 Miele dishwashers). Generous storage sits discreetly behind flat panel cabinetry. The intimate dining room adjoins the kitchen. The finale of this level is the spacious living room, layered with a gas fireplace and flanked by an eastern wall of horizontal windows.. THIRD LEVEL: The family room showcases a cozy gas fireplace and built-in media console. Sliding glass doors open to a private, west facing deck and 2 person sauna. FOURTH LEVEL: Divided into two separate wings; the guest wing presents two generous bedrooms, each with an ensuite and walk-in closet. The primary wing houses a spa ensuite, deluxe walk-thru closet and a calm master retreat. Repeating the element of glass walls, sliding doors open to a deck offering a grande view of the Rockies and valley below. A sauna is also housed on this deck. LOWER LEVEL: Possibilities on this walk-out are endless! A generous 4th bedroom with ensuite can easily be used as a separate suite. The fitness area with in-floor heat is bright, energizing and looks to th e exterior patio. With its own little micro climate, this patio can be used late into the fall. A FEW OF THE MANY FEATURES INCLUDE: wide plank hardwood throughout, solid core doors, dove-tail joinery on all custom cabinetry, angled and sloped 13 ft ceiling creating interest points, top of the line exterior windows and doors, standing seam metal roof, 2 furnaces, air conditioning, professional ongoing maintenance, almost 4000sqft of living space. RECAP: The discrete complexity of the design, the exacting detail in finishing work and the quality of materials used make this home a rare masterpiece. (id:63357)
