Home of the Week: The “screw modesty” mansion

Let’s go ahead and ball out for the Curiocity Calgary Home of the Week, shall we? We had a nice little starter home moment last week, so we’ve gone in entirely the opposite direction for this week. We’ve chosen a mansion that says “heck no” to all forms of modesty and humbleness. When you live in Upper Mount Royal, that’s kind of the name of the game though. This is the kind of house that gave out full sized chocolate bars and trust funds on Halloween.

Let’s check out this insane Calgary Home of the Week!

1339 Frontenac Ave SW

This almost- 8,000 sq ft. of living space Georgian mansion is positively opulent.

That’s real estate speak for verrry fancy. Come through the massive front doors and allow yourself to be face-punched with the over the top luxury of this home. The butler has a handkerchief for the resulting nosebleed.

There are 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, so you can have way too many options of where to pee! Will it be the first-floor powder room or the ensuite toilet today?

Speaking of the ensuite, that thing is the same size as our apartment. No biggie. Actually, major biggie. That thing is massive.

Also, this home has one of those stairways you take your awkwardly posed prom photos on. Judging by the decor of the kid’s rooms, they’re still going to have a few more years of private school left before then. Hopefully, their next home has a photo-worthy staircase too.

The kitchen is glorious, with all the marble, granite, and stainless steel you’d expect in a home of this calibre.

However, our favourite part is the basement man cave. By man cave, we mean more of a refined scotch and cigar cellar. That sweet, sweet old money went a long way in here.

It’s slightly reminiscent of the red room of pain from 50 Shades, but we think if you throw on a velvet overcoat and light up a Cuban you’ll really see the potential.

Also, keep that overcoat on and relax in the study for maximum rich person effect! We’ll be studying that expensive looking chaise lounge and the sixth chandelier we’ve spotted. So much crystal, and we’re not talking about the amount of illegal substance we’d have to sell to afford this home.

So, you got $4,950,000 to spare? Neither do we. However, we’ll just keep swinging by for those full-sized chocolate bars on Halloween and fantasizing about our life here.
