Hello, my wonderful friends! How are you today? I hope everything is good with you. I am really excited to be sharing this Transitional Family Home built and designed by one of my favorite Canadian builders, Veranda Estate Homes Inc.. They have been featured on the blog before (see the links below) and they are not only very talented and knowledgeable but they are also always aware of the latest trends, so seeing their homes always feel refreshing.
Here, Melissa Manzardo Hryszko for Veranda Estate Homes Inc., shares some more details about this beautiful and inspiring new Family home:
“This home was initially designed and built as a spec home in the community of Altadore in SW Calgary. Since we were building this home with no ‘end-user’ in mind, we wanted to ensure that it ticked all of the right boxes to appeal to the masses. Featuring over 3400 Sq. Ft. above grade and an additional 1,175 Sq. Ft of lower-level development with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, rec room with a wet bar and home gym.
We were lucky enough to have a buyer come along at the framing stage. This allowed us to customize this home to work with their needs as a family.”

One of the more significant revisions we made was to the upper level of the home. Originally it was designed to have 3 secondary bedrooms on the upper level, with two young sons and an additional two bedrooms in the lower level development; this wasn’t needed.
