Crescent Road mansion. This looks much better at night with all that open glass and lighting.

I like it quite a bit, say what you want but those floor to ceiling window are sexy, and i'm sure the view is too. imagine drinking your morning coffee and watching the city come alive with that view.

good for him, might as well spend his money instead of being buried with it

Yeah a friend of mine was doing some work on the house. Apparently the owners bought a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire crew onsite. Also, unsurprisingly apparently its stupid nice inside

Just wait until they move in and realize how busy that area is with pedestrian traffic and they put up floor to ceiling blackout curtains - which will be closed ALL the time. I am shocked at how often the new homes built in Rosedale with these amazing views are forever closed with curtains. You would think at some point someone would tell these homeowners to be honest about their level of comfort with people seeing in through these massive windows when designing their home.

Nice to hear about rich people who aren't c*nts for a change.
Any idea why this house has taken years to finish though? I believe it's coming up on 4 years. I was still with my ex when it started.

Meh. After a certain age you no longer tend to care who sees you. He is 80. Will likely strut around in a bathrobe maybe or nothing at all.

That is sexy though. Good size loft style black windows, probably brick facade. Reminiscent of a Chicago brick/greystone historic, and perfect for Mission. IMO Marvin DeJong is Calgary's best at single family. He nails the details and I'd be confident that this will turn out very nice

Glad to see a DP for this proposal, which has been around for about 4 years, and I has been forgotten about. Would be a nice fit for 25th ave, and just a few houses down from Elva

Haha! That's so awesome. I built my dog a "hopstacle course" in our front yard so we have an outdoor space she can wrestle and play. She's way too hyper for dog parks so this is the next best thing
