FOUR-BEDROOM McKAY ROOMY AND PRACTICAL
Sterling Homes gem in community of Legacy can handle family’s needs for the long haul
Large families need a home that doesn’t just boast a substantial overall floor plan, but one where the space is well spent.
The McKay by Sterling Homes provides both. This front-drive single-family model, reaching 2,376 square feet, is presented as a show home in the southeast Calgary community of Legacy. It has four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Beyond the above-average bedroom count, these sleep spaces are designed to handle a family ’s needs for the long haul. They’re all generously sized.
Not including the master bedroom, the largest is 13 feet six inches by 11 feet one inch. This one is front-facing, has its own walk-in closet, which has its own window, and flanked conveniently by the laundry room and a full bathroom.
The laundry room features a front-load washer and dryer, and the full bathroom — poised to shoulder the needs of people in three secondary bedrooms — has dual vanities with plenty of counter space, under a full-width mirror.
The other two secondary bedrooms are identical in dimensions and sit side by side, facing the bonus room.
This welcoming sitting area has a skylight, giving the space an appealing splash of sunshine.
In the master bedroom, both the ensuite and closet deliver. At 11 feet six inches by five feet 10 inches, the walk-in can handle extensive wardrobes. The ensuite, starring its corner soaker tub under sideby-side windows, is a functional space in which to start and end a day. This includes, in addition to the spacious dual vanities, a separate counter that could be used as a makeup desk.
Another benefit to bigger families is a home with versatility. Just off the foyer is a flex room. While set up as a home office in the show home, it could also be used as a children’s toy and book room, keeping clutter out of the great room.
The location of the flex room also helps obstruct the view from the front door to the more private areas of the home. For instance, someone standing in the foyer wouldn’t have sight lines of people sitting in the dining area, great room or kitchen.
In the kitchen, the U-shaped cooking space is wide-reaching. This results in both the potential for a social hub, and a place that can support making meal preparation a team effort. The central island has a handy set of built-in shelves and the eating bar boasts a built-in wine rack.
Also featured in the kitchen is a full-height backsplash, lots of cabinets and stainless steel appliances, including a bistro-inspired chimney-style hoodfan. A walkthrough pantry links to the mud room, which then accesses the
attached garage.
Legacy is an award-winning community by WestCreek Developments. It features 15 kilometres of pathways, 121 hectares of protected environmental reserve, public art, and a community garden.
