The triple car garage provides ample space for vehicles, gear, and storage – crucial for families in Elbow Valley’s active, outdoor-loving community. It’s also a design element, seamlessly integrated into the home’s architecture without compromising curb appeal.

From the moment you step inside, this home welcomes you with a feeling of effortless comfort and quiet luxury. The main floor embraces a true open-concept layout, where each space flows seamlessly into the next, perfectly designed for modern living. Anchored by a palette of earthy tones, rich textures, and natural materials, the main floor reflects the surrounding landscape while delivering a calm, sophisticated interior.

Every detail was intentionally curated to create a sense of warmth and depth – from the smooth hardwood underfoot to the custom millwork details that appear throughout the home. This is a space that invites you to linger, to connect, and to truly enjoy being at home.

At the heart of the main floor is the show-stopping custom kitchen, a space that embodies both refined style and everyday functionality. Designed to feel welcoming and grounded, the kitchen features a mix of natural textures and clean lines that give it a sense of approachable elegance.

The dual-tone cabinetry makes an immediate impact, combining soft neutral lowers with custom oak uppers to bring in organic warmth. Tying it all together is a bespoke rift-sawn white oak range hood, designed and built to match the millwork found throughout the rest of the home. This hood fan isn’t just functional, it’s a central design feature that adds architectural interest and depth to the space.

• Custom dual-tone cabinetry, with soft matte finishes and warm oak accents.
• Handcrafted rift-sawn white oak range hood, perfectly matched to the surrounding millwork.
• Butler’s pantry tucked behind the main kitchen wall, offering discrete prep space and exceptional storage.
• Quartz countertops with clean lines and subtle veining for a timeless finish.
• Zellige tile backsplash for added texture and handcrafted charm.
• Oversized island with casual seating, generous prep space, and built-in storage.
• High-end appliances, including an oversized fridge/freezer, a wall oven, and dishwasher for a chef’s dream. 
• Sleek pot lighting only – no pendants – creating an uncluttered ceiling line and a minimalist, gallery-like atmosphere

This kitchen was designed not just for cooking, but for gathering. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or a lively dinner party, the open flow into the dining and living spaces makes this room a social hub. The thoughtful lack of pendant lighting over the island creates a clean, spacious feeling while still allowing the natural beauty of the materials to shine.

Open shelving and oak-wrapped detailing add custom touches and continuity throughout the main floor, while high-performance materials ensure this kitchen works just as hard as it looks good. It’s a space that reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle and love for subtle, modern craftsmanship – a true blend of form and function.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the great room showcases a beautifully textured ceiling, adding a subtle architectural edge and visual interest that draws the eye upward. This detail sets the tone for a space that feels elevated yet inviting. Expansive windows line the room, flooding it with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape, grounding the interior in its environment and creating a tranquil backdrop for daily life.

Natural hardwood flooring runs seamlessly throughout the main floor, establishing a warm, cohesive foundation. The living area is anchored by a sleek, clean-lined feature fireplace – modern in design but cozy in atmosphere – perfectly balancing form and function.

Flowing effortlessly from the living area, the dining space is thoughtfully positioned to capitalize on natural light and landscape views, making it ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions. Enhancing the space is a custom-built dining room built-in, both beautiful and practical. Designed with elegant millwork and open shelving for display, it adds storage and character without overwhelming the room. Above, a pair of stunning wall sconces cast a warm glow, providing layered lighting that elevates the ambiance and highlights the craftsmanship of the surrounding finishes.

At PURE Residential, we believe luxury and practicality should go hand in hand. Every element of this home was designed with real life in mind, marrying beauty and everyday functionality.

Located just off the garage, the custom mudroom is as hardworking as it is stylish. Built-in lockers, integrated bench seating, and ample storage cubbies keep coats, footwear, and bags organized and out of sight. A standout feature is the slat wall, which mirrors the texture of the ceiling in the adjacent great room – creating a visual thread that connects the spaces and reinforces the home’s cohesive design language. Durable finishes and smart layout choices make this space an ideal drop zone for a busy family, proving that utility can still feel polished and considered.

The upper-level laundry room is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can transform everyday life into something exceptional. Strategically located where it’s needed most, just steps from the bedrooms, it offers a seamless blend of utility and comfort. This spacious room isn’t just a place to do chores; it’s a highly functional workspace designed to enhance daily life.

Custom cabinetry provides generous closed storage for linens, detergents, and cleaning supplies, keeping everything organized and within reach. Expansive folding counters offer plenty of room to sort and prep, while open shelving keeps essentials accessible without compromising style. Large light fixtures, brighten the space and make it feel open and inviting.

One of the most thoughtful features is its dual access: homeowners can enter from the hallway or directly from the primary suite through a discreet pocket door, creating an effortless flow between private and shared spaces. Whether tackling a quick load of laundry or managing a busy household’s needs, this room delivers convenience, comfort, and quiet luxury – all in one.

Upstairs, the design shifts toward quiet sophistication and restful retreats.

At PURE Residential, we believe the primary suite should be more than just a bedroom, it should be a sanctuary. In this home, the primary suite was designed as a private retreat, offering a perfect balance of spaciousness, comfort, and refined detail.

Set apart from the secondary bedrooms for added privacy, the primary bedroom exudes serenity. A palette of calming neutral, layered textures, soft lighting, and a gas fireplace establishes a restful atmosphere that invites relaxation at any time of day. Large glass patio doors that lead to your own personal balcony and allow natural light to spill in, while the room’s generous proportions easily accommodate both sleeping and lounging areas, creating a space that feels luxurious yet livable.

The suite includes a thoughtfully designed walk-in closet, outfitted with custom shelving to maximize organization and storage. From dedicated shelving to hanging space and drawers, everything has its place, making daily routines feel seamless and stress-free.

Directly off the primary bedroom, the ensuite bathroom takes inspiration from luxury spas, combining clean lines, natural materials, and modern conveniences to create a space that soothes the senses.

• A sculptural freestanding soaking tub, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
• A frameless glass shower with dual shower heads and a large niche, offering both function and indulgence.
• A custom double vanity with quartz countertops, ample storage, and warm vanity lighting.
• Heated tile flooring for comfort year-round
• A separate water closet for maximum privacy. 
• Matte black fixtures, adding a contemporary edge and a bold contrast to the soft, neutral finishes

From the thoughtful lighting design to the quiet luxury of high-end finishes, this ensuite was curated to provide a sense of calm and comfort. It’s a space where homeowners can truly pause, reset, and recharge.

The developed walk-out basement extends the living space in both function and style. Designed as a flexible zone for entertainment and leisure, this level offers ample room for a media space, games area, future wet bar, and more.

A standout feature: the basement is roughed-in for a golf simulator, perfectly suited to the lifestyle of the homeowners. Whether they choose to install a full simulator or convert the area into a home gym, it’s a forward-thinking inclusion that adds long-term value and customization potential.

Large windows and walk-out access to the backyard ensure this space feels just as bright and connected as the rest of the home.
