The builder of this infill house was breaking new ground both literally and figuratively, aiming at a market segment above $1-million in a neighbourhood where the average sale price is less than $500,000. A first dip into the market last year, when the home was nearing completion and priced at $1.099-million, failed to draw any offers.

Agent Jesse Davies took over the listing in November. “In Bowness, the average price is around $450,000, [but] this was a new build and a lot larger.”

With the last bits of construction on the two-story house completed, Mr. Davies staged the house with modern furnishings and trimmed the asking price to an even $1-million. An early offer feel through on financing, but another offer stuck.

This house on a 60-foot-by-120-foot corner lot has 3,481 square feet of living space, in addition to a triple garage with a legal carriage house above, complete with a kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.

The main house has a floating staircase with glass railings, an elongated fireplace in the living room and 17-foot ceilings in the kitchen and dining room.

Two dens and three bedrooms with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms are spread across the main and upper levels.

The lower level has nine-foot ceilings with a guest bedroom and two recreation areas and a wet bar.

“It’s a unique property because it has a carriage house over the triple garage,” Mr. Davies said, “and it’s also a higher-end home for the area.”
