5 Leonard Close, Sylvan Lake

Some homes check boxes. This one raises the bar and this year, it could be the one where you hang the stockings. Picture the holidays here: the tree rising beneath 20-foot ceilings, firelight dancing off the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, family spilling out from the kitchen island while snow falls beyond the triple patio doors. With possession available by Christmas, this could be the year you host — in a home built for exactly that. Welcome to Lakeway Landing, Sylvan Lake, where over 2,200 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space meets the kind of craftsmanship you feel the moment you walk through the door. Soaring 20-foot ceilings, a bold Douglas Fir beam, and that floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace set the tone on the main level. Expansive windows fill the open-concept living space with natural light, creating a warmth that photos can only hint at and that's even before the tree goes up. The kitchen is built for real life, and for real holiday gatherings granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a side-by-side fridge and freezer, and custom cabinetry with storage that actually makes sense. A walk-through pantry leads to the mudroom for all the coats and boots company brings, and triple patio doors open from the dining area to a generous deck made for gathering, whatever the season. The upper level is your own private escape. The primary suite features a five-piece spa-inspired ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub, large glass shower, and a walk-in closet with custom organizers. Step out onto your private patio and take in the lake views. A second bedroom, full bathroom, and a smartly laid-out laundry room complete the floor. Downstairs, the walkout level delivers even more; two bedrooms, a full bathroom, wet bar, and a spacious family room that flows out to a covered outdoor living area with low-maintenance landscaping all around. Room enough for out-of-town guests to stay through the New Year. And the details that set this home apart? In-floor heating in the garage, ensuite, and basement. Central A/C. HRV system. On-demand hot water. Spray-foam insulation. A heated triple-car garage with 12.5-ft ceilings because Central Alberta winters are easier when your home is built for them. This is what happens when quality, comfort, and location come together. With possession available in time for Christmas and at this new price, the timing couldn't be better.
