Foothills Hospital Home Lottery Grand Prize Blends European Elegance with Modern Comfort
The Foothills Hospital Home Lottery has officially unveiled its 34th grand prize spring show home, a stunning European-inspired residence located in the acclaimed lake and golf community of Harmony in Rocky View County, just west of Calgary. Designed by Baywest Homes, this luxurious property is valued at $3.2 million and serves as a peaceful retreat from urban life while raising crucial funds for surgical care at Foothills Hospital.
A Lakefront Sanctuary with Purpose
Situated on a prime lakefront lot with a private dock, this two-storey, walk-out home spans nearly 5,000 square feet and features five bedrooms. The property not only offers breathtaking views but also supports a vital cause, with proceeds from the lottery directly benefiting healthcare services. Victoria Epp, show home project lead for Baywest Homes, emphasizes the home's unique appeal, stating, "This home really stands apart. What I love about it is that it is very design-forward with tailored, intentional details, yet it is also very comfortable and approachable."
Exterior and Interior Design Harmony
The home's black and white exterior showcases old-world European styling, characterized by higher-pitched roof lines and intricate wood and stone detailing. Inside, the design takes a transitional approach, blending modern elements with warmth. Epp explains, "We wanted to make sure that interior spaces were both modern and comfortable, so we used a variety of colours, textiles and textures to create a really warm and inviting feel." Arched doorways throughout the home, including a striking barrel archway in the foyer, add softness to the architectural lines and serve as artistic focal points.
Key Features and Luxurious Amenities
The home boasts numerous high-end features designed for both functionality and aesthetics:
- Kitchen Excellence: The kitchen features indulgent marble-inspired quartz countertops and a six-burner Bertazzoni range, complemented by a statement backsplash and a curved eating nook with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake.
- Great Room Drama: A double-vaulted ceiling in the great room enhances the sense of space, while banks of floor-to-ceiling windows, including rake windows, maximize natural light and panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
- Sophisticated Living Spaces: The intimate dining room is adorned with deep chocolate brown walls, a Scandinavian-styled round wood table, and a modernist chandelier, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.
- Outdoor Living: The main floor includes two outdoor decks, one extending almost the entire length of the home and another fully enclosed deck accessible from the dining room, ideal for three-season use.
- Primary Suite Luxury: Upstairs, the primary suite offers lake views, a stone-clad ensuite, and a private sitting area, accompanied by an open-to-below bonus room and two secondary bedrooms.
This grand prize home exemplifies how thoughtful design can merge sophistication with livability, all while contributing to a meaningful charitable cause. The Foothills Hospital Home Lottery continues to offer Albertans the chance to win exceptional properties while supporting essential healthcare initiatives in the region.
