Forget builder-basic.

Forget builder-basic. This is Riverstone with attitude. Backing directly onto a private escarpment with no rear neighbours, this isn't another predictable townhome dressed up with trendy finishes. This is a home that's been reimagined with custom design, timeless craftsmanship, and the kind of upgrades that make every other listing feel...forgettable. The first impression lands immediately. A tiled entry with built-in cabinetry and bench seating. Clean lines. Smart design. Zero wasted space. The main level opens up and punches above it's weight. The builder basic dividing wall between spaces is gone, allowing sunlight to flow while oversized windows frame uninterrupted escarpment views. It's brighter. Bigger. Better. The kitchen delivers exactly what you'd expect—and then some. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous prep space, and an oversized breakfast bar made for espresso mornings, wine nights, and everything in between. And then there's the dining room. Not just a place for a table—a statement. A full wall of custom built-in cabinetry anchors the space, adding warmth, architectural interest, and enough storage to keep life looking effortlessly put together. It's the kind of feature designers love because it never goes out of style. Upstairs, both bedrooms feature private ensuites and workspaces, but the primary suite deserves the spotlight. A built-in window seat overlooking the green practically begs you to slow down for ten minutes. The custom vanity creates a boutique dressing space you'll actually use. They're not flashy upgrades—they're the ones you'll appreciate every single day. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout. No carpet. No compromises. The finished basement keeps the momentum going with a built-in office, oversized windows, and a dedicated dog wash that's as practical as it is brilliant. Even the attached garage refuses to be ordinary, finished from top to bottom and already equipped with an EV charger. Outside? Nature does the talking. Wildlife. Mature trees. Complete privacy behind you instead of another row of windows staring back. Riverstone has always been one of Calgary's best-kept secrets, and homes like this are exactly why. Because here's the truth: you can always change paint. You can replace countertops. But you can't buy character. You can't renovate a setting like this. And you definitely can't recreate thoughtful custom design with a trip to the builder's design centre. If you're looking for cookie-cutter, keep scrolling. If you've been waiting for something with soul, style, and a little swagger...don't wait too long. There isn't another one like this one.
