The kitchen in the Jefferson show home by Homes by Avi in Osprey Hill is designed to eliminate clutter and enhance functionality. With limited kitchen storage often leading to stressful meal preparation and messy counters, this model introduces clever and plentiful built-in storage solutions. The Jefferson is a front-drive, single-family home spanning 2,393 square feet, now open as a show home in the scenic southwest Calgary community of Osprey Hill, near WinSport and amenities like the grocery store at Trinity Hills.
Smart Storage Features
The kitchen boasts an array of tall cabinets with glass doors, allowing homeowners to easily see dishes and glasses inside. Open shelves next to the stove provide quick access to spices and frequently used cooking items. A walk-in pantry offers ample space for dry goods, while extra shelf space built into the island is ideal for storing books and small kitchen tools. This organization keeps pots, pans, and gadgets in order and easily accessible.
Social Hub Design
Beyond storage, the kitchen functions as a social hub. Many islands feature an eating bar with stools, but this model takes it further with a built-in sitting bench on the island facing a separate dining table. This layout allows someone to work at the island while others sit at the table or along the bench without crowding the preparation area. It also provides overflow seating for large gatherings such as family celebrations.
Open-Concept Living
The conventional dining area and adjacent great room line up along the rear-facing wall on the main level, with large windows pulling natural light across the open-concept design. The great room's focal point is a box-shaped fireplace framed by a floor-to-ceiling stone feature wall, flanked by windows that brighten the space and emphasize the element. Across from the cooking space, a partial wall with built-in shelving offers a spot for books, framed photos, decorative pieces, or small plants.
Flexible Spaces
A flex room at the front of the main level can serve as a home office for remote workers. The home has three bedrooms on the second storey and two in the developed basement. Second-level bedrooms each have a walk-in closet. The primary bedroom, measuring 13 feet by 18 feet, features a large ensuite that directly accesses the closet. One secondary bedroom reaches 13 feet by 11 feet, similar to dimensions of primary bedrooms in some homes. A central bonus room separates the primary bedroom from secondary bedrooms, adding privacy.
Basement Legal Suite
In the show home, the basement is demonstrated as a legal suite, ideal for buyers looking to offset mortgage payments with a rental tenant. It contains a U-shaped kitchen, rec area, bathroom, and laundry area.
