**You know the house.**The black one.The one you've driven past a hundred times and thought, *"What does the inside look like?"*The one you've slowed down for. The one you've creeped on from the road. The one you've probably talked about over dinner.Well... today your curiosity finally pays off.And somehow, the inside is even cooler than the outside.Originally built in 1997, this home has been completely transformed through an extensive renovation and expansion into something that belongs on the cover of a design magazine. Every inch has been thoughtfully reimagined, from the soaring vaulted ceilings and dramatic wood accents to the custom finishes that make each room feel like its own masterpiece.The kitchen? Dangerous. Because once you cook in here, every other kitchen will disappoint you. A professional gas range, stunning built-ins, statement lighting, and enough style to make your guests casually ask, "So... who designed this place?"The primary suite is less "bedroom" and more "boutique hotel you'll never want to leave," complete with custom closet storage, a gorgeous spa-inspired ensuite, and private access to the deck.But let's address the room that's about to steal the entire show.The sunroom.Calling it a sunroom is honestly underselling it. It's part entertaining space, part outdoor kitchen, part vacation, and 100% where every birthday, hockey game, family dinner, and random Tuesday night ends up happening. Vaulted wood ceilings, walls of windows, bar seating, a built-in Blackstone... you'll start inventing reasons to invite people over.And then there's the garage.Three bays. Extra height for lifts. Enough room for the vehicles, the toys, the workshop, the gym, and probably that project you've been promising yourself you'd start for five years. If you're a car enthusiast, this might actually become your favourite room in the house.Downstairs keeps the momentum going with a private theatre room, sleek bar, two additional bedrooms, and space that was designed to be enjoyed rather than simply occupied.All of this sits on 3.6 stunning acres that give you the breathtaking mountain views you've always wanted without sacrificing convenience. It's so close to town, the kids could ride their bikes to school!Here's the problem with this property: once you walk through it, every other house starts feeling a little... ordinary.So if you've ever wondered what life would be like inside the famous black house, it's time to stop wondering and book the showing.Fair warning: you're probably not going to want to leave.

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).

Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
