506 507, 3232 Rideau Place SW

This exceptional 1,621 sq. ft. southeast corner double unit in Rideau Towers offers a rare combination of space, natural light, thoughtful design and sweeping views. Completely reimagined through an extensive Paul Lavoie-designed renovation in 2013, the residence was taken back and transformed with an emphasis on quality, clean contemporary lines and exceptional functionality. Expansive windows and a primarily south-facing exposure fill the home with natural light, while the impressive 70-foot balcony offers glimpses of the Rocky Mountains, rolling hills to the east, downtown city lights and views of the Stampede fireworks. The open-concept living and dining areas create an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by wide-plank hardwood flooring, custom millwork and a warm, sophisticated palette throughout. At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed kitchen featuring an oversized waterfall-edge island with generous seating, sleek custom cabinetry, extensive storage and a separate butler’s pantry/catering kitchen. The adjoining dining area easily accommodates a large table, while the spacious living room takes full advantage of the surrounding windows and views. A separate media room provides a comfortable retreat away from the main entertaining spaces. The primary suite has the feel of a private hotel retreat and is complemented by its own den or office. Beautifully finished bathrooms feature wood-grain Italian tile, Kohler fixtures, custom vanities and a BainUltra bubbler soaker tub, creating a spa-inspired atmosphere. Additional details include custom built-in cabinetry throughout and insulated ceilings and walls for enhanced comfort and privacy. Set on nearly 14 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, Rideau Towers offers an extraordinary inner-city setting surrounded by mature trees and green space. Spend summer days relaxing by the outdoor pool, strolling the expansive grounds or enjoying the remarkable outlook from your p rivate balcony. A truly distinctive residence offering sophisticated design, generous proportions and an exceptional setting just minutes from downtown Calgary. (id:67336)
