Lifestyle Homes - Elements Living RoomSituated in a coveted West Calgary community, moments from downtown and nestled among carefully landscaped parks, ponds and green spaces, WestPark in Wentworth Estates is as elegant as it is family-friendly.

And, with an “architecturally different, dramatically unique and character-rich” showhome on display, Lifestyle Homes manager Anna Zajac says the attraction of the community extends to the undeniable appeal of the builder’s custom- built homes.

With prime 58- to 100-feet-wide lots or ¼- acre lots or lots backing onto a tennis court, park and pond, Lifestyle delivers a wealth of desirable features to satisfy those who “prefer life outside the box,” Zajac says.

“Available walk-out lots with manicured green spaces, meandering walking paths combined with closeness to private schools, Calgary downtown accessibility and a central commercial district make this a coveted address for Calgary’s most discerning buyers,” she says. “Our focus lies in design innovation and architectural elements, as we ensure that our clients are familiar with options that parallel their lifestyle and personality, whether it’s modifying an existing plan or creating an original design.”

Showcasing the custom detail and high-end flair Lifestyle offers in the area is the Edendale showhome.

Its open-concept main floor living space boasts a gourmet kitchen, a handsome, rockclad central fireplace, a curved wall that’s dotted with two storeys of oversized windows.

Truly, this is a home that exudes elegance.
Wide-plank, pewter-stained ash flooring, wood paneling in a Kahlua stain, an abundance of curvaceous detailing and eye-catching, lit art niches extend the upscale flair.

“The kitchen features maple cabinets finished in two-tone, Cape Cod and Kahlua stains that complement the hardwood, along with stainless steel appliances and a glass back splash in a brick pattern,” Zajac says.

Nearby, a built-in, wood-paneled wetbar adds masculinity to the space, while upstairs, a curvaceous railing outlining the library and hallway that overlooks the main floor is a feminine touch. And outside, the community is as luxurious as the home itself.

Appealing to professionals and families alike, the neighbourhood boasts close proximity to shopping, recreation and more. “There are tasteful water features, mature trees, ponds, pathways and a new tennis court,” she says. “You get the feeling of being in a little, private getaway.”
