A group of Mensans recently toured seven spectacular Calgary homes which featured unique architecture, beautiful artwork, luxurious furnishings, and delightful gardens. The tour provided a brief glimpse into the lifestyle of Calgary’s rich but perhaps not so famous and included a bright, modern chic home in Mount Royal with a bathtub within a bathtub (and rose petals) which fills from the ceiling (just like the one at your home), a fabulous (and very masculine) 5000 ft2 downtown penthouse with a grand staircase and a rooftop hot tub, a contemporary home in Rideau backing on to the Elbow River and filled with artifacts from around the globe, a modern home in Lakeview filled with colour and light, an urban cottage in Capital Hill designed by the architect owner and two lovely homes in the country: a warm family home in Braemar Estates with three whimsical children’s rooms and a 5-car garage, and a country 2-acre estate in Anatapi c/w marble, rich woods and slate, an indoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a glorious view. The tour is an annual event held in both Calgary and Edmonton to raise funds for the Alberta Ballet so keep it in mind for next year. Whoever said money doesn’t buy happiness has clearly never been on this tour.
