1020 Bel-Aire Drive SW, Calgary, Alberta T2V 2B9

OPEN HOUSE: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15 2-4PM. Welcome to an extraordinary custom residence in the prestigious community of Bel-Aire, where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design come together. Meticulously reimagined by the homeowner in collaboration with award-winning designer Paul Lavoie, this remarkable home underwent an extensive transformation, completed in 2014. Taken back to the studs, substantially expanded and rebuilt with carefully selected materials sourced from around the world, every element was considered, from the grand architectural details to the finest finishes. Offering over 8,000 sq. ft. of beautifully developed living space, the home features five bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite and heated floors. The addition of an ICF foundation allowed for impressive 10-foot ceilings in the lower level, while the main floor was redesigned with soaring 12-foot ceilings and expansive windows that fill the principal living spaces with natural light. Heated Crema Marfil marble flooring flows throughout, setting the tone for the exceptional quality found at every turn. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen, featuring premium appliances including a Wolf gas range and Miele refrigerator and freezer. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level offers generous gathering spaces, an elegant formal dining room and a seamless balance of sophistication and comfort. The private primary retreat is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a fireplace and a spa-inspired ensuite designed for relaxation. A striking walnut staircase leads to the fully developed lower level, thoughtfully designed for recreation and entertaining. Enjoy a dedicated golf simulator, music room and temperature-controlled wine cellar. An elevator provides convenient access between levels, further enhancing the home's functionality. The attention to detail continues into the heated double attached garage, designed to acc ommodate the future installation of two vehicle lifts, while the oversized driveway provides parking for four additional vehicles. Outdoors, the beautifully landscaped backyard offers a private retreat surrounded by towering mature spruce trees. An outdoor fireplace creates an inviting setting for quiet evenings or entertaining, with a sense of seclusion rarely found in an inner-city location. Situated on one of Calgary's most prestigious residential streets, 1020 Bel-Aire Drive SW represents a rare opportunity to own a truly bespoke residence, where architectural excellence, luxurious finishes and exceptional attention to detail define every space.
