THE CEILING GOES UP TWENTY-ONE FEET.
The listing puts the great-room ceiling at 21 feet, with a two-storey fireplace and a wall of windows facing the ponds. The kitchen sits open to it, so the height stays in view from most of the main floor. It is the first thing a showhome visitor would have been meant to notice, and it still works that way.


THE RANGE IS THE POINT.
Quartz counters and backsplash, a La Cornue range, Dacor appliances and a full-height slab behind the hood, all recorded in the listing. A showhome kitchen is a display piece before it is a work surface. That is exactly what makes it worth looking at, whether or not you would ever cook on it.



THE LOWER LEVEL SEATS A CROWD.
The listing records a full wet bar, a double viewing galley and a home theatre on this level. Two counters, both with stools, both facing the same direction. That is a floor plan written around the assumption that people will come over.


THERE IS A GOLF SIMULATOR DOWNSTAIRS.
A wall-sized projection screen, a turf hitting area and a small monitor to one side. The listing puts a games space and a gym on the same level. This is the part of the house that gets described at somebody else's dinner table, which is more or less what a showhome is built to do.



WATERMARK STOPS. BEARSPAW KEEPS GOING.
Watermark is a development inside Bearspaw, not a place apart from it. From the air you can see where the built streets end and Rocky View County picks up again. The listing describes a central plaza with firepits, barbeques, playgrounds, a basketball court, winter rinks and about five kilometres of paved pathways.
