2814 14 St. SW | Upper Mount Royal | Calgary

Behind a private gate on 14th Street in prestigious Upper Mount Royal, something unexpected waits. The landscaping draws you in - composed, intentional, Feng Shui-inspired - slowing your pace before you've reached the door. As you enter and the front door closes behind you, the noise of 14th Street and the pace of the city simply disappear. It's the kind of place you stumble upon in Paris - down a busy street, through an unremarkable door - and never forget. What lies inside is remarkable, and how it came to be is equally remarkable. In 2018, this 1950s bungalow was sawed in half, lifted four feet over 33 days, and reborn entirely. What stands today is not a renovation - it is an architectural resurrection. Nearly 3,000 sq. ft. rebuilt from the ground up with new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. Everything unseen is as deliberate as everything you can see, and the warmth and elegance of yesteryear are seamlessly combined with every comfort, convenience and luxury available today. The main level features a formal living room and adjoining dining room that evoke the glamour of Hollywood Regency - richly coloured walls, graceful coved plaster ceilings, Italian Murano glass lighting, a gas fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling built-ins - before giving way to a handsome study, beautifully appointed guest bedroom and elegant 4-piece bathroom. Then step into the fully appointed butler's pantry and the character of the home transitions. The sun-drenched chef's kitchen and great room unfold beneath soaring 11-foot ceilings — 10-foot custom cabinetry, leathered granite and quartz countertops, GE Monogram appliances, heated tile floors and brass pendant lights creating a space as functional as it is breathtaking. The great room opens beyond with its own fireplace, dark columns, and black-framed windows and doors dissolving without warning into a resort-style private courtyard with a waterfall feature and softly lit trees - an oasis of privacy, invisible from the street, available exclusively to you. A striking black-and-white tiled breezeway with 21 feet of concealed storage leads to the garage and completes the main level - every inch finished with the same uncompromising craftsmanship found throughout. Then the curved wrought-iron staircase takes you down — and the home reveals itself entirely. With soaring 11-foot ceilings, the lower level unfolds as a primary bedroom retreat that feels a world away - a private sanctuary sheathed in floor-to-ceiling marble, with dual mahogany vanities, an oversized steam shower, a heated soaking tub with integrated television, and a petal chandelier overhead. Custom his-and-her dressing rooms, a dedicated gym and a beautifully finished laundry room complete this level. This private world is entirely your own - available to others only by invitation. A heated double garage with epoxy flooring, custom shelving, and an additional parking pad complete the picture - steps from South Mount Royal Park, the Glencoe Club, and Calgar
