1235 Bel-Aire Drive SW Calgary, AB T2V2C1

Fantastic home for a large family. Prime location in the heart of Bel-Aire at the west end of the Drive. The lot is 12,600 square feet with a sunny south rear yard and beautiful mature landscaping. In 1988 architect Richard Lindseth was hired to design a complete renovation and substantial addition to the home. It now totals 7286 square feet of development with 5 wood-burning fireplaces, 4 full baths, 2 half baths and 5 to 6 bedrooms. Incredible quality and attention to detail are evident everywhere. Ceilings were raised in all the major rooms. Outstanding architectural details including custom-milled cornices, paneling, casings, baseboards and a barrel-vaulted illusion-hallway. Exceptionally generous principal rooms with bevel-trayed ceilings. Huge kitchen with island, endless storage and bright breakfast nook overlooking the yard. Epic family room, also overlooking the yard, that steps up to a library-den with wet bar. Large main floor laundry and access to the oversized double attached garage. 4 large bedrooms up. One bedroom was originally 2 rooms and could be split again to achieve 5 bedrooms up. Palatial primary suite (23'4" x 16') with seating area, 6-piece ensuite with marble-clad vanities, and large walk-in closet. The remaining bedrooms share 2 full bathrooms. Lots more room on the lower level with a 2nd family room, additional bedroom, office and an amazing "event room" with bar, dance floor and fireplace. Excellent storage. Lots of opportunity here for the next lucky family to upgrade and make it their own.
