728 9 Avenue Se, High River

A rare opportunity to own a masterful replica of an “Early Canadian” style home and garden in the highly sought-after area of High River. This stunning two-storey residence offers 4 bedrooms and an abundance of character throughout. Period details visible in the photos include restored hardwood floors, ornate trim, stained-glass panels in the entry and upper windows, and a decorative cast-iron wood-burning stove set on a tiled hearth in the family room. The welcoming main floor features a grand oak staircase, stained glass accents and an expansive family room with 10’ ceilings. The family room also showcases a period-style chandelier, large windows and the cast-iron stove, all on gleaming hardwood floors. All of this flows seamlessly to the dining area with views of the colorful, private gardens. The gardens include curved flagstone pathways, raised planters and multiple seating areas — including a stone patio with an umbrella and outdoor dining space. The vaulted kitchen is filled with natural light and surrounded by serene garden views. The family dining area is a beautiful open space. The large custom butler’s pantry is a true compliment to this kitchen. There is a large laundry and half bath conveniently off the main entrance. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, complimented by an open landing with skylights—an inspiring space perfect for an artist’s loft or reading nook. The primary bedroom is bright and inviting. It has its own private deck, a perfect space to watch the sunrise and a morning coffee; the room also features a ceiling fan and double glass doors opening to that deck. Finishing off the second storey there is a large newly renovated 4 piece bath with a beautiful clawfoot tub and modern finishes that complement the vintage piece. The fully finished basement offers a family room, bedroom, 3-piece bath and a private separate entrance. This lower level also has a Summer Kitchen, with a stovetop, refrigerator and sink, plus cabinetry and counter space — perfect for guests, crafting, canning or pickling. Outdoors you will find mature trees, thoughtful landscaping all in a privately fenced yard. Stone/flagstone walkways, potted and barrel planters, and several intimate lawn and patio areas enhance the picturesque setting. A charming single-car garage completes the scene. Ideally located close to Emerson Lake, schools, parks, pathways, and shopping, this unique property is truly one-of-a-kind. (id:1945)
