Home Model Feature: Westwood Art Exterior imageA sustainable neighbourhood filled with pillowy trees, crystalline water, and endless winding trails where one could get lost in a daydream, Artesia is host to one of South Calgary’s most spectacular bungalow models.

The Westwood with its incredible air of sophistication, dips its toes into the water’s edge along a central stormwater pond near the heart of the community. This gorgeous model fits in seamlessly with this breathtaking backdrop, but the Westwood is nominated for the SAM Awards for its ability to stand out among the rest. You'll likely agree as you walk up its pebbled driveway to a full-height glass front door, playfully revealing a glimpse into its lush interior.

The gleaming, spacious foyer of this home sets the tone for the rest of the floor plan. Endless windows surrounding the front door, and in the vault above, flood in abundant sunlight. A bright home office is located to the left of the foyer, complete with its own full set of windows on both exterior walls.

Straight through the foyer is the expansive 23’ x 17’ great room, with 11’ tray ceiling and fully stone-wrapped two-way fireplace. A beautiful and versatile space, this room offers enough entertaining room to accommodate plenty of guests. The adjacent kitchen and dining area are equally as spacious.

For a 2,076 square foot home, this kitchen exudes indulgence. Beautiful full-height cabinets with crowned glass-door display cabinets offer plenty of storage space and create an elegant setting. A massive centre island with flush eating bar adds to the room with additional working countertop space. The nearby dining area is loaded with character, with its tray ceiling similar to the great room, and niche with built-in cabinetry and puck lights for an elegant display area.

The chef’s refrigerator and built-in wine rack make for easy entertaining in this home. A full walk-in pantry offers abundant storage to ensure you don’t run short on the necessities. The beautiful chimney hood and decorative legs on the lower cabinets raise the bar for elegance in this space.

Your outdoor covered deck becomes a continued part of your great room via a full-width patio door with glass doors that slide entirely open to one side (Nana Wall).

The master suite is an ideal retreat for any homeowner. A stunning stone-wrapped fireplace creates a cozy visual barrier between the bedroom and luxurious ensuite. Tray ceilings in both the bedroom and ensuite continue the look of extravagance in this home, with a beautiful chandelier setting the ambience above the freestanding soaker tub. Dual vanities offer separate, spacious areas in which to groom in the mornings or evenings. A full, separate stand-up shower with built-in seat offers multiple shower heads for a spa-like experience.

This fantastic bungalow offers room within its triple-car garage for a spacious workshop or storage for recreational equipment. The garage is fitted with sets of windows on two sides for plenty of natural light, and a main door opposite the overhead doors for additional entryways.

An optional basement development offers a full home theatre, games area with wet bar, family room, and large additional bedroom and ensuite bathroom.

A One-of-a-Kind Community

Artesia is home to a special kind of lifestyle. Located in the far south of Calgary, you’ll truly enjoy rural living within City limits. Developed with bioswales, natural open spaces, several water ponds, endless walking and biking paths, community areas, parks, and so much more, Artesia is designed with sustainability in mind.

Not only is water conservation a priority in this community, but the developers have taken steps to create a self-sustaining area where bioswales capture precipitation, feeding water collection sites. A pump house then pulls the water from those collection sites, sending it as irrigation to the green spaces and parks within the community. This ensures Artesia’s natural spaces will remain lush and vivacious for many years to come while maintaining a minimum carbon footprint.

In addition to the environmental responsibility of the area, there are a plethora of lifestyle benefits to living in Artesia. The Heritage Pointe Golf Club is located adjacent your neighbourhood, yet is a public course for all to use. A vast selection of shopping, restaurants, and sporting facilities are also within reach, creating a very tight-knit community in which you only need leave if you wish.

Artesia’s community care program elevates the culture within the neighbourhood through protection of assets. Homeowners can take pride knowing their neighbourhood and lifestyle will not be affected by continued development, nor degradation of existing private and public lands.

The Westwood is a spectacular, glamorous bungalow in an upscale, friendly community. It's no wonder that in addition to the SAM Awards nomination, the Westwood is also a strong contender for the National Award for Housing Excellence! Come and experience the beauty of the home, its surroundings, and the lifestyle you’ll gain when you buy into both.
