BOULEVARD IN BELMONT
Showhome at Belwood Park
With well-sized windows in all the right places, a new townhome by Streetside Developments fills with sunshine.
The Boulevard is a three-level, 1,398-square-foot model with a tandem garage displayed as a show home at Belwood Park, a development in the southeast community of Belmont.
Its use of windows creates numerous bright, inviting spaces while lessening the need to reach for a light switch.
Every key space on the main level has at least one window — including the great room — which glows with two substantial panes on the front-facing wall and one on a side wall.
With direct access to a balcony, the great room feels extended. At six feet seven inches by 16 feet two inches, this outdoor space is ideal for everything from great conversations with family or friends to a morning coffee in the fresh air.
The rear-facing U-shaped kitchen has a pantry, tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances, including an over-the-range hoodfan. Its counter facing the dining area has an extended eating bar that comfortably seats three people.
While the front and back of a home are common spots for windows, it’s the side walls, such as the oversized pane facing the central dining area, that help set this layout apart. This enhances the overall flow of light across its open-concept main level, while highlighting the space in which families share a meal and reconnect after a day of school or work.
To that end, the dining area boxes out, adding to its visual interest.
Flooring across the main level is a durable and stylish luxury vinyl plank.
With three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this model fits the needs of a young family. It also works for a downsizing couple who wants the space to host grandchildren for the weekend. Belwood Park’s other show home, the 1,153-square-foot Avenue model, has two bedrooms.
The largest bedroom measures 10 feet six inches by 12 feet and features an ensuite and spacious walk-in closet. Continuing the home’s focus on natural light, it benefits from a generously sized window on its main wall and a transom window on another.
The larger of the two secondary bedrooms — which also has a walk-in closet — boasts windows on multiple walls, as well.
Conveniently positioned just outside the master bedroom is a laundry area with a stacked frontload washer and dryer. This location avoids the need for any members of the family to carry a basket and laundry up and down stairs.
Joining Pine Creek and Sirocco, Belmont is one of three new master-planned communities by Anthem United located west of Macleod Trail.
The community — planned to be home to a future City of Calgary recreation centre — is near an established shopping complex in Silverado, and a large retail development that includes a movie theatre in Shawnessy.
Soccer and equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate Belmont’s close proximity to Spruce Meadows.
