Living In The City The answer to luxury city living on a river front oasis. Rarely does an opportunity arise to purchase an extraordinary city home presented on the banks of Calgary’s Elbow River. It is situated within an enclave of residences in Roxboro, one of Calgary’s most established and prestigious neighborhoods. The home was originally designed as a private residence for a well known Calgary builder. Enduring the test of time, this one-of-a-kind property boasts distinctive architectural and structural design by renowned Chandler Kennedy Architectural Group and offers an incredibly planned 5,650 sq. ft. of genuine quality living. It is a home that flows beautifully and seamlessly from room to room - each filled with boundless ambience. The generously-sized rooms are fabulous for entertaining - the current owners have hosted large gatherings from the Honan piano recital to weddings - yet the home retains the intimacy of an inviting family home. Expansive views of the river from almost every room set the stage for relaxation, privacy, and enjoyment.

As you cross the threshold of the front pathway gates you are greeted by a private and serene, inner courtyard. An abundance of trees provides private tranquility. Relax on the expansive deck overlooking the river, and at twilight take in the beauty of a starry night and the mirrored reflection of the city lights. Imagine enjoying this lifestyle and being only five minutes to the downtown business core.

Established in 1923, Roxboro is an affluent community located on the banks of the Elbow River on the cusp of Trendy Fourth Street Southwest offering an array of shopping, cafes, galleries and restaurants, and also within close proximity to River Park and Stanley Park.

days thereby reducing electricity bills throughout the year.

All told this home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, an office with plenty of light and a private entrance that could easily be converted to a kid’s entertainment room, and a wine cellar. One convenient feature worth noting is the elevator that services all three floors. A large outdoor patio offers an additional spot for summer entertaining. This beautiful home is situated on one of the largest lots in the Sprinkbank neighbourhood on over 15,000 square feet of land. That means plenty of parking in addition to the attached three car garage and bike area.

Only minutes from downtown Calgary, and walking distance from Aspens restaurants, trendy shops and amenities, the view of and from this home is worth seeing.

THE

AZIMUT 62S Italia

SPORT BOAT

Azimut Yachts is the leading producer of 40- to 120-foot luxury yachts. The most extensive line in the world, Azimut Yachts is known for its innovation, style, comfort, and elegance.

The Azimut 62S is a commemorative model, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Italian unification. Its strong points: the compact profile of a sporting boat, an openable hard top, roomy interiors with full-beam owner’s cabin, crew cabin with two beds. Reaches speeds of 37 knots.

Italia is the name of this new version of the Azimut 62S, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Italian unification: the Avigliana yard also wanted to make its contribution to the celebrations surrounding this important moment of national history, taking great pleasure in building it, and to play a small yet distinct part at such an important moment.

The sporty models in the Azimut collection, which are denoted by the suffix S, are designed for people who love cruising and performance and for this reason can do without the large fly found on motoryachts. Only the larger models have a lightweight sport fly, an exterior steering gear with space for guests that has little impact on lines and weight. The compact, sporty, lightweight line is truly a must in the S collection. The focal point of the Azimut 62S Italia is an openable hard top, a masterpiece of double curvature formed glass, curved both lengthwise and crosswise, protective UV coating, and a skylight that makes it possible to really appreciate the sportiness and feel connected with
