The Sage is a four-bedroom front-drive single-family model by Baywest Homes.
After a busy day at work, the heads of the household deserve a primary suite that doesn’t just offer privacy, but feels like a genuine escape. This thoughtfulness in both layout and architecture is captured in the Sage by Baywest Homes. This 2,271-square-foot, front-drive single-family model is currently displayed as a show home in Rangeview. Located in southeast Calgary, Rangeview incorporates valuable outdoor features such as squares, plazas and community gardens.
In the Sage, the primary bedroom is tucked away. The sleep space is separated from the secondary bedrooms by a spacious central bonus room. A laundry room and the bedroom’s walk-in closet and ensuite provide an additional buffer. The primary bedroom reaches a generous 19 feet by 13 feet, larger than many rooms of this kind. Its vaulted ceiling opens the space dramatically, offering it a calm, airy quality that’s otherwise hard to achieve. Beyond typical bedroom furniture, the bedroom in this show home is staged with a small table and two chairs. This emphasizes its ability to serve as a spot to relax with a good book and a glass of wine.
Its focus on creating a retreat extends to the upscale ensuite. There’s a deep free-standing tub, spacious shower with full-height tile and ample counter space. The vanity has two sinks positioned beneath a full-width mirror. There’s plenty of space between these sinks, making it easy for a couple to conduct their morning or bedtime routine at the same time. Just outside the primary suite, there’s a large laundry area with a front-load washer and dryer, and a sink.
On the opposite end of the second level, two secondary bedrooms are side by side. With each measuring 12 feet four inches by 10 feet eight inches, this removes the risk of arguments between the children of the family over who gets the larger room.
The main level is open-concept and bright. Its L-shaped kitchen faces a spacious rear-facing dining area and great room featuring a series of oversized windows. The kitchen’s generous island has an eating bar with seating for four people. This becomes a natural gathering point for everything from casual meals to pre-dinner conversation. Full-height cabinetry maximizes storage while maintaining a tidy, built-in look. In the show home, the sleek range hood, subtle tile backsplash and warm wood accents introduce visual interest. The kitchen is also equipped with a walk-through pantry that links to the mudroom.
People who work remotely will appreciate the six-foot 10-inch by eight-foot office on the main level. Its proximity to the foyer makes it easy to welcome and walk in co-workers or clients. Limiting sight lines beyond the immediate space, the foyer is designed with privacy in mind.
As seen in the show home, this model can also be accessed through a side entrance. This is ideal for people who choose to offset mortgage payments by renting their developed basement to a tenant. The basement in the show home is depicted with a bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and a full bathroom. Ideal for board game or movie nights with friends, it also boasts a welcoming rec area with an elegant walk-up bar.
