The home I’m about to describe is one of those rare properties that makes you stop and say, This is it. Between the custom-built cedar sauna, the walkout layout, the lake community, and the level of finish inside, this Auburn Bay home delivers a lifestyle that’s becoming increasingly hard to find in Calgary.
Located on a quiet, family-friendly street, this stunning residence welcomes you with a striking exterior and a grand interior entrance featuring ultra-high ceilings, a statement staircase, and a dramatic floating light fixture. I’ve known this home for years — I sold it previously — and what makes this story special is that the current owners took an already exceptional home and elevated it even further.
The main level is designed for gathering and hosting. Engineered hardwood floors run throughout, leading you into a living room anchored by massive floor-to-ceiling windows, custom drapery, and a soaring stone gas fireplace. The space feels warm, refined, and intentional. Just off the living room is a formal dining area perfect for large family dinners, special occasions, or even a baby grand piano.
The kitchen blends seamlessly into the living space, offering light neutral cabinetry, an oversized island, a gas cooktop, a chimney hood fan, a corner pantry, and high-end Bosch appliances. From the island and breakfast nook, you’ll enjoy views backing onto a green belt and pathway system that connects directly to both public and Catholic schools — a rare and valuable feature for families.
Upstairs, a bright bonus room overlooks the main floor, creating a sense of openness and connection. The primary bedroom is privately positioned away from the kids’ rooms and features wraparound windows, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite with dual vanities, a soaker tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an upgraded laundry room complete this level.
The fully developed walkout basement adds even more flexibility, with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a large media area, and a separate space ideal for a home business, teen retreat, or client-facing setup. Recent upgrades include new carpets, air conditioning, a Lennox furnace, a hot water tank, a water softener, and a filtration system.
Outside is where this home truly sets itself apart. The backyard opens onto a lower deck and stone patio with a built-in fire pit, professionally landscaped with new grass and gardens. And then there’s the showstopper — a custom-built cedar sauna, valued at over $40,000, heated by a wood-burning stove and capable of reaching temperatures far beyond standard infrared saunas. It’s a wellness experience, right at home.
Backing onto pathways, featuring permitted lighting between decks, gemstone exterior lighting, and located in Auburn Bay — one of Calgary’s premier four-season lake communities — this home offers access to beaches, skating, festivals, schools, shopping, South Health Campus, and an unbeatable family lifestyle.
Homes like this aren’t just bought. They’re chosen.
If you’re trying to decide what kind of property truly makes sense in today’s Calgary market — whether as a buyer, seller, or long-term investor — this home is a perfect example of where lifestyle and value align. And if you’d like this level of marketing for your own home, I’d love to help you start that journey.
Let’s make the next move intentional.
