Tucked away on a quiet family-friendly street, this incredible home offers something truly special with space to grow, gather, and create lasting memories. Sitting on a rare 38' lot with a sunny south facing backyard, this 3 storey residence stands apart from the ordinary infill with its thoughtful design and warm welcoming feel. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal draws you in. Timeless stone and stucco, professional landscaping, and a charming covered front porch set the tone for what’s inside. Step through the door and you’re immediately struck by the sense of openness with soaring vaulted ceilings drawing your eye up to the 2nd floor balcony and 3rd level loft. The front living room offers a peaceful retreat with large picture window and access to the porch, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. As you move through the home, it opens into a space designed for connection. A formal dining area complete with custom built-ins and a private home office is ideally tucked away for the utmost privacy. At the heart of it all is the kitchen: warm cabinetry, sleek granite counters, a gas stove, built-in oven, and Miele dishwasher make it as functional as it is beautiful. The large central island invites conversation, while the adjoining family room with its custom media wall and cozy gas fireplace becomes the natural gathering place. Just beyond, a bright breakfast nook overlooks the backyard, where everyday moments feel a little more special. The 2nd level is designed with families in mind, offering three spacious bedrooms, a convenient laundry room, and a full bath. The primary is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, room for a quiet sitting area, a custom walk-in closet, and a lavish 6pc ensuite featuring a soaker tub and separate shower. The 3rd level adds even more flexibility as an ideal haven for teens, guests, or creative pursuits. With its own bedroom, bathroom, and a large recreation space complete with a wet bar, it’s a place where independence and relaxation meet. Downstairs, the recently developed basement expands your living space even further. Cozy yet spacious, it features a welcoming den, sliding barn doors leading to a generous family room and games area with another wet bar, plus a fifth bedroom, full bath, and additional storage with laundry hookup, perfect for growing families or visiting guests. The rear yard is made for enjoying Calgary’s best days. A rustic stone patio, built-in Weber gas BBQ set the stage for summer evenings filled with laughter and good food. Raised garden beds and mature trees create a private, peaceful setting for both entertaining and quiet moments alike. This location is hard to beat. With no through traffic, this is a street where kids can safely play, while one block away a fully equipped playground becomes an extension of your backyard. This is more than just a home, it’s a place where every detail invites you to settle in, spread out, and truly live.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 80 Brightoncrest POINT SE in Calgary. &lt;a href="https://joelsemmens.com/mylistings.html/listing.a2306642-80-brightoncrest-point-se-calgary-t2z-5a7.108626016"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tucked into one of the most peaceful pockets of New Brighton, this Cedarglen built home sits on a quiet street (last street development in the community) where kids can still ride bikes out front and neighbours actually know each other. It’s the kind of setting families look for but rarely find, low traffic, a strong sense of community, and access to everything that makes southeast Calgary so liveable. New Brighton is designed with families in mind, with the New Brighton Club serving as a year round hub for skating, tennis, splash parks, and community events that make it easy to feel at home. Pathways wind through the neighbourhood, connecting parks, playgrounds, and schools, while everyday essentials are just minutes away at 130th Avenue Shopping District. It’s a place where weekends are full, commutes are manageable, and kids grow up with space to explore. Inside, the home balances style and function in all the right ways. The main floor welcomes you with warm hardwood, a generous entry, and an open layout that naturally brings people together. The kitchen is the true heart of the home anchored by a large quartz island, gas stove, wine fridge, and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything within reach but out of sight. From here, sits a spacious living room with a corner stone surround fireplace and adjacent dining area that looks out over the backyard. Sliding glass doors offer easy access to a multi-tiered composite deck built for long summer evenings and easy entertaining. Upstairs is thoughtfully laid out for family life, with three bedrooms, convenient laundry, and a bonus room that offers a cozy retreat with its own gas fireplace. The primary suite feels like a true escape, with a spacious walk-in closet and a 5pc ensuite featuring a deep soaker tub and separate shower. The recently finished basement adds even more flexibility, offering a fourth bedroom, full bath, and a rec space complete with a bar, making it ideal for hosting, hobbies, or giving older kids their own hangout zone. There’s also plenty of storage, so everything has its place. Outside, the yard strikes a rare balance with enough green space for kids, pets, or a garden, without overwhelming maintenance. The BBQ gas line is ready for summer, and the oversized attached double garage and mudroom setup make everyday routines smoother. With its quiet location, thoughtful layout, and access to one of Calgary’s most family focused communities, this is a home where day-to-day life feels just a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.&#xD;

A gracious and spacious foyer sets the tone upon entry, welcoming you into a thoughtfully designed main floor where comfort meets sophistication. A sunken formal living room with a soaring vaulted ceiling creates architectural interest, while an elevated formal dining room provides the perfect setting for hosting. The heart of the home is the inviting family room, anchored by a gas fireplace with brick surround and custom oak built-ins, seamlessly connected to the kitchen and breakfast nook. Designed for both function and style, the kitchen features granite countertops, a central island with seating, glass block accents that invite in natural light, and a corner pantry. Premium appliances include a gas cooktop, panelled Bosch dishwasher, and Jenn-Air wall oven. From the breakfast nook, step onto the upper low maintenance deck with glass railing; for unobstructed sweeping river valley and park views. A main floor home office with built-in desk, along with a combined mudroom and laundry area complete with sink, offer everyday practicality connecting directly to the oversized, heated double attached garage.

Premium appliances include a full Wolf gas range with pot filler, built-in Wolf microwave, steam oven, warming drawer, Sub-Zero panelled fridge, Miele dishwasher, wine fridge, and beverage drawers. A custom glass art installation by Calgary artist Julianna Reece creates a stunning focal point above the cooktop.

The main floor also offers a refined den with exquisite millwork and fireplace, perfectly positioned near the elevator for added convenience. Upstairs, the primary retreat is a serene escape with vaulted ceilings, a sitting area, dressing space, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a clawfoot tub. A second soundproofed bedroom with ensuite ensures comfort and privacy. Designed for entertaining, the lower level impresses with a spacious family room with custom media wall, games area with a full wet bar, Miele dishwasher and two beverage drawers, and a show-stopping wine cellar. A massive rec room with cork flooring offers flexibility for a home gym and can be easily converted to include an additional bedroom, alongside a third bedroom and full bath. Outdoors, the private backyard oasis features a stone tile patio, wood burning fireplace, and mature trees for seasonal privacy, perfect for hosting or relaxing. A triple detached garage completes this extraordinary property, enhanced by Control4 automation and irrigation. Ideally located in the heart of Altadore, this home is just steps to local favourites like Neighbour Coffee, as well as highly regarded nearby schools, parks, and the vibrant amenities and dining experiences of Marda Loop, offering an unmatched lifestyle in one of Calgary’s most desirable inner-city communities.&#xD;

This Scandinavian-inspired modern residence is a masterclass in refined living where timeless design meets a layout crafted for vibrant family life and unforgettable entertaining. Set on a beautifully landscaped 140’ deep lot with coveted southwest rear exposure in prestigious St. Andrews Heights, the home is bathed in golden natural light, highlighting its clean lines and warm, organic finishes. From the moment you step inside, soaring 10’ ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows create an airy, light filled ambiance that seamlessly blurs the line between indoors and out. The heart of the home is a striking chef’s kitchen, where a sculptural quartz waterfall island anchors the space alongside designer Brizo fixtures and professional grade appliances, including a Wolf 6-burner gas range with pot filler, perfect for both intimate meals and grand scale entertaining. The kitchen flows effortlessly into an expansive dining area designed to host with ease and opens directly to the sun drenched rear deck. Nearby, the living room invites connection and relaxation, centred around a statement stone fireplace, coffered ceilings, and integrated sound that's equally suited for cozy evenings or lively gatherings. As you ascent to the second level, the thoughtful design continues with a spacious laundry room, a beautifully appointed full bath, and three generous bedrooms. The primary suite is a serene sanctuary, wrapped in natural light and featuring a custom walk-in closet and a lavish ensuite complete with heated floors, a deep soaker tub, and an oversized glass-enclosed double shower for an everyday indulgence. The fully developed lower level offers exceptional versatility with its bright, above grade feel and expansive windows. Designed for both recreation and wellness, it features a large rec room with fireplace, games area, dedicated home gym, guest bedroom, and a luxurious bath with steam shower, ideal for hosting overnight guests or unwinding in style. Every detail has been carefully curated, from in-floor heating in all bathrooms (and roughed-in in the basement) to smart dimmers, custom Lightform lighting, and discreet cable management. Outdoors, the backyard unfolds as a private sanctuary that's lush, tiered, and thoughtfully designed to create moments of calm and connection, all leading seamlessly to the oversized double garage. Just minutes from downtown, the University District, top-tier schools, parks, and pathways, this elevated home is a rare offering where sophistication, comfort, and lifestyle converge.&#xD;
