2814 14 Street SW

Behind a private gate on 14th Street in prestigious Upper Mount Royal, something unexpected waits. Composed, Feng Shui-inspired landscaping slows your pace before you’ve reached the door. Step inside, and the noise of 14th Street simply disappears. It’s the kind of place you stumble upon in Paris - down a busy street, through an unremarkable door - and never forget.What lies inside is remarkable, and how it came to be is equally so. In 2018, this 1950s bungalow was sawed in half, lifted four feet over 33 days, and reborn entirely. This is not a renovation - it is an architectural resurrection. Nearly 3,000 sq. ft. rebuilt from the ground up with new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. Everything unseen is as deliberate as everything you can see, and the warmth of yesteryear meets every modern luxury.The main level’s formal living and dining rooms evoke Hollywood Regency glamour - richly coloured walls, coved plaster ceilings, Italian Murano glass lighting, a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins - before giving way to a handsome study, a beautifully appointed guest bedroom and an elegant 4-piece bathroom finished in marble and brass.Through the fully appointed butler’s pantry, with its own sink, custom cabinetry and built-in wine fridge, the character of the home transitions.The sun-drenched chef’s kitchen and great room unfold beneath 11-foot ceilings - 10-foot custom cabinetry, leathered granite and quartz counters, GE Monogram appliances, heated tile floors and brass pendants. The great room opens beyond with its own fireplace and black-framed windows dissolving into a resort-style courtyard with a waterfall feature - an oasis invisible from the street, entirely your own. A black-and-white tiled breezeway with 21 feet of concealed storage leads to the garage.Then the curved wrought-iron staircase takes you down - and the home reveals itself entirely.The lower level, under 11-foot ceilings, unfolds as a primary retreat sheathed in floor-to-ceili ng marble, with dual mahogany vanities, an oversized steam shower, a heated soaking tub with integrated television, and a petal chandelier overhead. Custom his-and-her dressing rooms, a gym and a finished laundry room complete this level - a private world available to others only by invitation.A heated double garage with epoxy flooring, custom shelving, and an additional parking pad complete the picture - steps from South Mount Royal Park, the Glencoe Club, and Calgary’s finest dining.This is not a home for everyone. But for those who value luxury, privacy over proximity, craft over convention, and a sanctuary the rest of the world will never see - there is nothing else like it in Upper Mount Royal. Homes of this calibre on Frontenac, Montcalm and Carlton command significantly more. This is a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary home at exceptional value.Some things must be experienced to be understood.Book your private showing today. (id:64869)
