Where it is

1403 Beverley Place S.W.

 

The design

Renowned architect Michael Shugarman and construction company Hammer Homes designed this custom-built home. It’s located on a sprawling 12,000-square-foot corner lot in a quiet cul-de-sac, while the home offers over 5,800 square feet of living space. There are unique details throughout the home, from the hand-cut stonework on the front porch, back patio and fireplace to the stunning great room with over 20-foot ceilings and a hidden staircase. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property with ample room for families.

 

What to love

Starting from the custom-designed front door, there’s something to love about every room in this home. The main floor is especially bright and airy with expansive south-facing windows and access to the spacious outdoor patio.

The custom kitchen boasts double-stacked granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a panelled fridge. One wall is set apart with built-in shelving, a wine fridge, extra cabinets and a built-in espresso machine.

The heart of this home, however, is the great room with its soaring ceilings, towering windows, custom-built bookcases, hand-cut stonework fireplace and a hidden staircase. The stunning area seamlessly blends luxury, comfort and intrigue all in one space.

Upstairs, the three spacious bedrooms each have a personal ensuite and walk-in closet. The primary bedroom has been designed with thoughtful additions such as a custom window bench, built-in office space and Swarovski crystal-accented wallpaper. The fully developed basement has 10-foot ceilings, a guest bedroom with an ensuite and an open layout so you can customize its use to your needs.
