Some homes are renovated. Others are reimagined. This is the latter. Set on a 60x100 lot along a quiet street in the heart of Collingwood, this fully transformed bungalow is a masterclass in preserving character while delivering modern luxury—where every detail tells a story, and no two finishes feel repeated anywhere else in the market. Originally built in the 1950s, this home pays homage to its roots in the most striking way. A handcrafted stone fireplace—created by an Italian mason decades ago—has been elevated into a front-facing, double-sided architectural centerpiece, anchoring both the home's curb appeal and its identity. Inside, the original ceiling design in the family room has been thoughtfully retained, offering a subtle nod to mid-century craftsmanship that's almost impossible to replicate today. From the moment you step in, the tone shifts to refined contemporary living. The 2023 renovation was taken down to the bones and rebuilt with intention: all new plumbing, electrical, HVAC (fully permitted), windows, and lighting—delivering true peace of mind wrapped in design-forward finishes. At the heart of the home, a professionally designed kitchen commands attention. Waterfall quartz countertops, a custom-crafted wood hood fan, and a built-in wine display create both function and conversation. The appliance package is what you'd expect in a high-end show home—Thermador range, panel-ready KitchenAid fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Panasonic built-in microwave, and Miele laundry. The main floor is unified by engineered hardwood, enhanced with Aria flush floor vents and elevated millwork throughout. Custom metal railings, curated lighting, and smart home integration round out a space that feels as intelligent as it is beautiful. With 4 bedrooms and 3 fully customized bathrooms, the layout offers flexibility for families, guests, or a refined work-from-home setup. Outside, the experience continues. The home is wrapped in modern board and batten SmartBoard with alumin um accents, while expansive front and rear decks create distinct outdoor living zones, from morning coffee on the front veranda to evenings in the private backyard retreat built around a hot tub. Mature trees, fresh landscaping, and a newer fence complete the setting. The heated garage is ready for both hobbyists and forward-thinking buyers, featuring a gas line and a 240V EV connection with capacity for a second. And then there's the location: quiet, established, and tightly held. Steps to Nose Hill Park, the off-leash dog park, and within walking distance to three public schools. The Winter Club is minutes away, and the community itself remains one of Calgary's most sought-after pockets for those who value both access and atmosphere. Opportunities in this area don't come up often...not because homes aren't renovated, but because they rarely carry this level of intention, history, and execution in one offering. This isn't just a home you see. It's one you experience, and those tend not to last. (id:24570)
