21 Rockford Road NW, Calgary

Set in Rocky Ridge, one of Calgary's highest points in the city, 21 Rockford Road has the quiet confidence of a home designed by people who intended to stay. The exterior sets the tone, sage stucco, stacked stone, and carriage-style garage doors that feel warm and built to last. A front study greets you off the entry, perfectly positioned to the front yard, full of light, and the kind of room that flexes easily between an office, a reading room, or a quiet space to start the day. Beyond it, the home opens around a custom built-in library that sits at the architectural heart of the main floor. The living room, and Kitchen, gather around it simultaneously, with shelves layered by the slow accumulation of a life well-lived: books, photographs, the small things that turn this house into a home. The kitchen is built for people who have loved to cook here. A six-burner gas range anchors the space, with stainless appliances, double wall ovens, under-cabinet lighting, and polished finishes that hold up to weeknight dinners and full-house gatherings. It flows into the living and dining nook in a way that makes hosting feel effortless, with the backyard just beyond, a quiet outdoor space that the current owners will genuinely miss. With so much natural light, the home has also been outfitted with a smart solar system that quietly works in the background to manage energy consumption. The main-floor primary is where this home really shows its thinking. There's something quietly luxurious about bungalow-style living ; everything you need on one level, no stairs between you and your morning coffee or your bed at night. The ensuite is built for the way mornings actually run, with a long granite double vanity, a deep soaker tub, and a fully tiled glass shower that gives the space a spa-like ease. It opens directly into a custom-fitted walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers, the kind of layout that makes daily routines effortless and the home liveable for the long haul Do wnstairs a full entertainment setup with projector, screen, and built-in surround sound transforms the space into a theatre on movie nights, a sports lounge, and the natural endpoint for family gatherings that stretch late into the evening. Additional rooms beyond it offer real flexibility, the current owners use one as a craft room, but the space holds room for a gym, a guest suite, bedroom for the teenage children, a studio, or whatever the next chapter calls for. Rocky Ridge itself was shaped around its natural landscape, with endless pathways, ridge-line mountain views, and one of the largest recreation facilities in the city just minutes from the door. It's a community of people who tend to stay, drawn by the views, the trails, and the quiet sense of belonging that takes years to build. This is a home shaped by a decade of intention, and is ready for whatever comes next. (id:66635)
