A truly special opportunity in sought-after Edgemont! This beautifully preserved 1970s estate home offers over 3,600 sq. ft. of developed living space, exceptional architectural character, and a spectacular setting backing directly onto expansive park and green space with access to pathways and trails. From the moment you step inside, this home makes an impression. The grand foyer welcomes you with skylights, soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and a striking curved solid wood staircase with an open-to-above railing. The front living room is warm and inviting, centred around a dramatic double-sided Rundle rock fireplace that also serves as an impressive feature in the adjoining formal dining room. The kitchen showcases the craftsmanship of the era with solid oak cabinetry, a large brick feature wall, built-in oven, JennAir grill, kitchen island, built-in pantry, and a casual dining area with sliding patio doors opening to the backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen the family room is one of the home's most memorable spaces—a second living room that celebrates the very best of 1970s design. Tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a sunken conversation pit, indoor plant atrium and nearby indoor water feature create an atmosphere that simply isn't replicated in newer homes. These are the architectural details you rarely find anymore. The main floor also includes a convenient laundry room with storage, a 2-piece powder room, side entrance, and direct access to the attached garage. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including an incredible primary retreat. This spacious bi-level bedroom is filled with natural light and features its own wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and an updated 5-piece ensuite. An additional updated 4-piece bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms, with both upstairs bathrooms offering custom built-in storage. The curved staircase continues to the fully developed basement, where you'll discover even more versatile li ving space. A large updated bathroom features a steam shower and rain shower head, while a cozy nook leads to a spacious additional bedroom. The recreation room includes a wet bar/kitchenette, creating an ideal space for entertaining, guests, teens, or extended family. Generous storage can be found beneath the staircase and throughout the mechanical room. Outside, the backyard feels like a private retreat. Mature trees, a large deck and the beautiful green space beyond create a peaceful setting with exceptional privacy. The home's wood and brick exterior completes its unmistakable architectural charm. Filled with warmth, originality and design features that have become increasingly difficult to find, this is more than a home—it is a remarkable piece of 1970s architecture ready for its next chapter.
