A riverfront house recently placed on the market in the community of Elbow Park is the city’s second-most-expensive home for sale right now. The single-storey home, built in 2009, is 3,343 square feet, according to Realtor.ca. The home has four total bedrooms – one above grade and three below – and six total bathrooms, one of which is a half bath. In the home’s online listing, Realtor and associate broker Anne Clarke-Davidson describes the residence as a “rare offering” where “modern architecture and meticulous execution meet.” “Situated on a coveted tree-lined street steps from river pathways, parks, top schools, vibrant restaurants and the downtown core, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Calgary’s most architecturally significant homes.” The main-floor bedroom has a view of the river through floor-to-ceiling windows. It also has heated marble floors. There are 19-foot ceilings in the great room, a limestone fireplace and a 30-foot retractable glass wall that opens to a rear terrace overlooking the Elbow River. The terrace has phantom screens, infrared heaters and built-in speakers that the listing says make it “perfect for year-round enjoyment.” There’s also a limestone-encased hot tub. The basement has a gym, a custom wine room and a 12-foot wet bar. Finally, the home has a heated driveway – a nice feature for Calgarians who get tired of shovelling snow. “More than a home, this residence is about a lifestyle,” states the listing. Located at 714 Riverdale Ave. S.W., the home has been listed for sale on Realtor.ca for six days and has annual property taxes of $23,979. Photos courtesy Calgary Real Estate Photos.
