A stone’s throw from the Bow River, perched high up on picturesque rolling peaks, is an enchanting two-storey home whose name implies its stature—the Kingston. Wrapped in a blanket of stone and capped with simple, yet elegant prairie-style rooflines, this proud show home has hosted thousands of eager homebuyers. But now, the show has come to an end and this stunning home is ready to settle down with a family of its own. Yes, this means the Kingston is currently available for purchase.

The Magnificent Main Floor

In 3,461 square feet, the Kingston encompasses everything that is exciting and sophisticated in a home. Modern and industrial marry to create a unique, ironically warm design with glass railings, dark natural wood, and stainless steel fixtures. Luscious textured tile blankets the main floor, creating consistency only broken by the mosaic-like look of stacked stone pieces enveloping a dual-sided gas fireplace apportioning the great room to the rest of the space.

In the kitchen, a magnificent natural wood chimney hood hangs gracefully over the six-burner gas stove, bringing a warm contrast to the massive island’s stainless steel countertop. Industrial style teardrop pendants shower twinkles of light over the extended eating bar for a tranquil ambiance. Four stainless steel swivelling bar stools provide convenient and stylish built-in seating to the eating bar.

Grand dark wood cabinetry in a modern, top-hinged door design gives this kitchen balance between rustic and modern. Stainless steel hardware ties together the cool elements of the space, with a superior Sub Zero stainless steel refrigerator and stacked oven and microwave making a bold statement. A beautiful glass cabinet in the corner of the space displays your prized cookware. Under mounted lighting supplies adequate lighting to prepare food, as well as beautiful mood lighting in the evening.

In the great room, modern, spacious windows span two floors to beam in natural light. Despite the large size of the room, the remarkable tiled fireplace wall defines the space providing a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Adjacent to the great room and kitchen is a central dining space with a spectacular view through French doors to the outdoor covered patio. With its own cozy gas fireplace, your patio can be your own personal sanctuary on a cool evening.

Next to the dining area is a spacious office or den, with plenty of windows for natural light. Snug between the kitchen and garage is a spacious walk-through pantry and oversized mudroom with built-in cabinetry for storage. The Kingston does not fall shy on its promise of extravagance—the main floor boasts 10’ ceilings throughout.

Ascending the breathtaking dark wood staircase, you’ll happen upon a selection of open-to-below spaces. As though floating on air, the staircase is an impressive part of the home’s décor, adding—without interrupting—to the features around it. 

The Upscale Upper Floor

The upper floor stretches to 9’ ceilings throughout, giving an already spacious plan additional eye candy. A large, functional laundry room is tucked to one side of the upper floor, convenient to the bedrooms but away as to not interfere with your lifestyle.

At the front of the home, a sizeable bonus room offers windows on three sides for plenty of light. A wide hallway possesses built-in cabinetry for storage of games, books, and other handy activities. Two immense secondary bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom, are virtually equal in size.

The master suite is a kingdom of its own. Commandeering the entire rear quadrant of the home, a vast bedroom is host to an equally massive ensuite and walk-in closet. Lining the perimeter of the walk-in closet are built-in cabinets and shelving with additional shelving in the centre. You’ll need to go on a shopping spree just to fill this closet!

The ensuite is magical, with its caramel-toned tile flooring stealing up the walls and the shower ceiling. Dual vanities are connected by a decorative set of shelves in-between, with a full-height linen closet tucked at the end. A cozy bulkhead provides pot lighting above the vanities for just the right setting. A seductive stand-alone soaker tub sits beneath an oversized window with an elegant chandelier above. And perhaps the best feature in this space is the heated tile flooring.

A complete built-in speaker system is installed on both floors, which can be controlled at the click of a button from any room in the home. An on-demand hot water system offers 50 gallons of instant hot water throughout the home.

Located in the charming and sophisticated community of The Point in Patterson Heights, the Kingston has quick access to main arteries and a diverse selection of local amenities. Fine dining, lifestyle shops and services, cafes, and plenty of schools can be found just minutes away.
