CASH & CARS LOTTERY
Prize homes up for grabs
Tickets for the 2020 Cash and Cars Lottery benefiting Albertans battling cancer are now on sale, with Truman Homes contributing two of the top prizes: a $1.3 million home in West District and a $313,000 condo in Cornerstone, in the city’s northeast.
The annual fundraiser has invested more than $34 million into cancer research, programs and cancer centres including the Tom Baker in Calgary since its inception in 2000. Truman has supported the Cash and Cars Lottery for the past decade.
“Truman has provided beautiful homes that our ticket buyers love year after year, and 2020 is no exception,” says Ryan Campbell, director of corporate relations for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
The lottery supports research, prevention and screening initiatives, equipment and programs that enhance patient care such as the Alberta Cancer Foundation Patient Navigator Program.
Truman’s fully furnished 4,283-square-foot Neptune, located at 7841 8A Ave. S.W. in West District, is one of two grand prizes. The other is a 3,293-square-foot home valued at $1.2 million by Kimberley Homes in Edmonton.
The two-storey Neptune is a classic estate home with a triple-car garage. It’s a “supercharged” version of a popular Truman model, says vice-president Oliver Trutina.
The waffle wall treatment in the large foyer is an oft-requested feature, something Truman is doing even in starter homes. Off the foyer is a spacious office with glass French doors and the open to below great room with a grand floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The simple grey brick is a timeless material that Trutina says is making a comeback.
A table that seats eight looks comfortable in Neptune’s dining area off the kitchen at the back of the home, defined by a coffered ceiling, but a table for 12 would fit just as nicely.
The kitchen features integrated appliances and microbial velour-touch matte finish cabinetry made locally by AB Cushing, one of Canada’s oldest millwork companies.
The master bedroom with his and her walk-in closets and luxury ensuite and the laundry room are separated from two secondary bedrooms by a central bonus room. There’s a fourth bedroom in the basement plus a wet bar and rec room, another full bathroom and an exercise room.
All furniture and accessories are included, plus $5,000 in cash.
Truman’s Hadfield Suite double-master condo at 76 Cornerstone Passage N.E. is the early bird prize, to be drawn Sept. 25. For safety, the homes are not currently open to the public but can be virtually toured by visiting cashandcarslottery.ca.
