The Alder by Brookfield Residential is a three-bedroom, 1,680-square-foot duplex that redefines kitchen functionality. Located in the Seton community of southeast Calgary, this show home demonstrates how thoughtful design can ease morning congestion and improve workflow.
Kitchen Layout and Features
The kitchen sits at the center of the main floor, offering clear sightlines and ample space for multiple users. Its L-shaped orientation spaces appliances strategically, allowing one person to access the fridge while another uses the stove without feeling cramped. The fridge features French doors, and the stove is paired with an eye-catching chimney-style hood fan. A central island provides an eating bar for three and keeps the sink—positioned under a large window along the rear wall—free for dishwashing while maintaining natural light and a view of the backyard.
Main Floor Flow
From the kitchen, the layout transitions into a front-facing great room measuring 11 feet 10 inches by 16 feet 5 inches. Large windows flood the space with natural light, creating an open feel from front to back. The dining area can accommodate a china cabinet, and a flex room offers space for a home office setup. A half bathroom is slightly elevated along the staircase for added privacy.
Upper Level Design
Upstairs, a central bonus room separates the primary bedroom from two secondary bedrooms, providing a buffer for quiet and privacy. This thoughtful separation enhances the home's functionality for families or those working from home.
The Alder duplex showcases Brookfield Residential's commitment to practical, efficient living spaces in the vibrant Seton community, which includes amenities like a movie theatre, YMCA, and South Health Campus.
