'People said they wanted a spice kitchen, and the layout of the property made it difficult to put in a spice kitchen, so that was our biggest challenge,' said agent Ben Archibald.This five-bedroom house 25 kilometres east of Calgary was packed with upscale appointments except for the one that mattered most to buyers: an enclosed, second kitchen for cooking aromatic dishes.
“People said they wanted a spice kitchen, and the layout of the property made it difficult to put in a spice kitchen, so that was our biggest challenge,” said agent Ben Archibald.Mr. Archibald managed to get an offer early on, but was disappointed when it went nowhere. He ordered new photographs and reduced the asking price twice over the summer. One tentative buyer spent weeks negotiating a deal, only to be outmanoeuvred by another buyer with an offer more appealing to the seller.
“There were a number of properties that came on around the time we listed, and nobody was selling,” Mr. Archibald said.At the end of a cul-de-sac, this five-year-old house was built with an attached, triple garage, roughly 3,500 square feet of living space, and outdoor entertaining areas on each level overlooking the 33- by 122-foot lot.kitchen and a dining room between two entertaining areas. The larger one has a gas fireplace and double-height ceiling.
The property has family rooms and laundry rooms on both the upper and lower levels and a total of five bathrooms.“Chestermere is a lake community, so it’s really nice and really close to Calgary,” Mr. Archibald said.
