A European-inspired estate rooted in la belle vie

Beyond the gates at 21B Crestview Place in Sturgeon County, sits an executive estate bungalow that evokes an old-world, French farmhouse feel. That impression begins with a natural stone facade, dark wood shutters, and Douglas Fir wood beam details.ย 

The historical charm continues inside the five-bedroom home, where one is greeted with vaulted ceilings complete with wood beam detailing and statement chandeliers. Adding to the natural warmth of the main area is a custom-made, classic, wood-burning fireplaceโ€“the perfect juxtaposition to the rustic beams above.

The European design continues with the use of wrought iron railings on the staircase, smoked, white oak hardwood, lime-wash wall paint, and imported French fixtures. The gourmet kitchen, filled with high end appliances, provides plenty of space for any culinary task, while the butlerโ€™s pantry helps to keep the space neat and organized.ย ย 

Taking a cue from its countrymenโ€™s leisurely lifestyle, this home invites its inhabitants to slow down and savour. The addition of the in-home gym, electric sauna, large outdoor spaces, and soothing ensuite all support the goal of pleasurable balance that the French have perfected.

Set on a fully fenced and landscaped two acres, with the addition of a carriage house and detached workshop, this property has plenty of room to grow and adapt to its ownersโ€™ needs.ย The carriage house has its own private driveway and includes a living space, modern kitchen, one bathroom, and two bedrooms.ย  This estate holds the key to โ€œthe good lifeโ€ โ€” one enriched with beautiful surroundings and a subtle invitation to embrace the French art of living.

This home is represented by Kaitlyn Gottlieb of Exclusive Edmonton.
