Luxury Living on the Edge of the Edmonton River Valley

Selling luxury real estate in the Edmonton region for almost 20 years, we know that the art of storytelling is the key to unlocking the true essence of a home. Taking a close look at not only the finishes and features but also a home’s "raison d'être" reveals the intricate details of a space that might pass by the observer at first glance.

Sometimes flipping through photos just isn’t enough. It’s in the artful narration of a property’s every square foot that we can uncover the nuances that make the home a living, breathing work of art.

Join us for a descriptive tour of one of our Parkview listings, 9020 Valleyview Drive, as we peel back the layers to expose the soul of a residence that is the…

With Careful Creative Design A Home Can Truly Be Transformed into a Work of Art: The Story of 12511 Grand View Drive

As you drive into the picturesque community of Grandview Heights you’re surrounded by beautiful mature trees. The community is like an island, bordered by the North Saskatchewan River valley to the north, Whitemud Creek Ravine on the south, and the University of Alberta’s farm. Grand View Drive itself takes you down along the north edge of the community which overlooks the stunning river valley, and that’s where you’ll find 12511 Grand View Drive. 

The house you see today is absolutely nothing like the original. Yet to stand back from it and really look, you would think that this beautiful modern luxury home - with its mix of…

On a prominent street, in one of Edmonton’s most sought after west-end neighbourhoods, is a funky little house right out of the 60’s. The home would be perfect to film an episode of Mad Men or even That 70’s Show. But while retro may be interesting, it’s not so easy to sell in today’s market. So what does one do?

It begs the question – what’s more valuable? The home or the lot? When you’re talking about an area of the city like Crestwood, Parkview or even the desirable Valleyview Drive, with its incredible view of the city’s downtown skyline overlooking the North Saskatchewan River valley, having a home from an older time period sitting on land like that – makes a demolition worth it. The land value alone coupled with the exclusivity and…

A Home Built Out of Love: A Mid-Century Modern Home Made Fully Accessible to Beauty and Comfort

On a beautiful tree lined street just steps from Glenora’s beloved Community League and school, you’ll find a one-of-a-kind home built from scratch –  out of love, devotion and necessity.

10506-137 Avenue is a throwback to the mid-century modern era of clean lines, graphic shapes, vibrant colours, with an integration of indoor and outdoor motifs. It has a clean, minimalist aesthetic, with incredible natural light that comes in through floor to ceiling windows on both the main floor and basement.  

It was built by a couple who married all their favourite things together and approached the build with a passion for beauty, a strong sense of design and…

When you hear the phrase luxury living, many people think New York, California, Toronto and Vancouver – even Calgary. They don’t often think of Edmonton. 

But think again!

Most of this luxury moving and shaking is happening inside Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods on the city’s west-side, where new luxury infills are rejuvenating these mature neighbourhoods and elevating them with high-class design that takes advantage of their epic river valley views. 

“Edmonton has quiet wealth. It’s not flashy. There is a lot of wealth in this city but it is understated. It’s not like Calgary or Vancouver or even Toronto,” says realtor Kerri-lyn Holland. 

In the last year, Edmonton’s luxury market has exploded. Over the last 12 months it has…

Tucked behind the Edmonton Country club along the edge of the North Saskatchewan river in Edmonton’s west end is the neighbourhood of Oleskiw. With a population of more than 2,800 residents the community is bordered by 170th street, just blocks away from access to whitemud drive. Driving into the community you’ll find beautiful homes surrounded by the picturesque river valley parks system with trails meandering down the banks of the Wolf Willow Ravine. Walking through the area you’re likely to catch the distant sound of a woodpecker tapping away at a poplar, a rustling of the leaves and the echo of a basketball hitting the pavement of a driveway during a quick father son pickup game. 

Surrounded by trees in the subdivision of Wolf Willow…
