West Hillhurst Modern

The Story

Some people spend years browsing Instagram saves and Pinterest boards, collecting images of the home they want someday. Clean lines. Black windows. That perfect contrast of light and dark that makes a modern home look like it belongs in an architecture magazine. Sharp. Confident. Uncompromising. For the couple who bought The West Hillhurst Modern, someday finally arrived.

Built for two people with a genuine love for contemporary design, this home doesn't apologize for what it is. The exterior announces itself immediately, dramatic contrasting stucco, black metal-clad aluminum windows, brick cladding at the base, dark vertical siding, and a clean flat roofline with cantilevers that give the facade real architectural depth. It looks exactly the way a modern West Hillhurst infill should look. Which is to say, like nothing else on the street.

Step through the front door and the south-facing orientation immediately reveals itself. Natural light pours into the open concept main floor from the moment the sun rises, flooding the great room, the dining space, and the kitchen in a way that makes the already generous 10 ft ceilings feel even more expansive. Eight foot doors throughout reinforce the sense of scale. This is a home that breathes.

The rear deck extends the living space outside, 200 sq ft of outdoor entertaining space that connects seamlessly to the interior. On a warm Calgary evening, the line between inside and outside disappears completely.

Upstairs, the master suite anchors one end of the floor with its own ensuite, while two additional bedrooms, each with their own bathroom access, sit at the other. No arguments over who gets the good bathroom. No compromises on privacy. Just a floor plan that was thought through properly from the beginning. The basement adds an entertainment room, an additional bedroom and bath, and storage, everything you need without anything you don't.

For a couple who knew exactly what they wanted and weren't willing to settle for anything less, The West Hillhurst Modern was built for them. Completed in West Hillhurst.
