"View from Living Room"

Welcome to this luxury condominium in the heart of the spectacular Canadian Rockies, in Canmore Alberta. Canmore is the gateway to Banff National Park , a mere 10 minutes from this UNESCO world heritage site. It is world-renowned for its majestic peaks and glacier lakes. Canmore Crossing condominium is located in the hub of downtown Canmore, and is steps away from the finest shops, galleries and restaurants of this quaint mountain town that I call home.

The condo was newly complete in the summer of 2004 and sports all the modern amenities of condo living with a rustic mountain style. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury loft condominium features a 23-foot vaulted ceiling and an 8 foot window that provides a valley view of the surrounding magical peaks that perfectly frames magnificent Cascade Mountain . The panoramic windows are ideal to view the changing hues of light on the mountain from dawn to dusk. Delight in the stunning views whether you are pampering yourself in the rooftop hot-tub, bask on the sunny sofa or grilling at the propane barbeque on the balcony. The scenery pictures included are taken from either the balcony or the windows inside the unit with a simple digital, the photos really don't capture this stunning view.

With 950 sq feet of living space you will find the condo to be extremely comfortable and the river stone gas fireplace provides a cozy mountain retreat ambience. The fully-equipped kitchen comes complete with dishwasher, microwave, and everything you need and more to prepare your gourmet meal. The slate heated floor provides that additional extravagance in the kitchen. The stix dining room table adds a rustic mountain touch that is perfect for your family gathering or a romantic dinner.

The open master bedroom loft is a queen with a down duvet, lofty pillows and heated mattress pad to keep you cozy during the winter months. The unusual master bath is open to the bedroom and has a stand up shower unit and ample fresh towels. The second standard bedroom has a queen bed with a duvet and an adjacent shared bathroom. The unit in general is equipped with many many more amenities then you would find in a hotel room to make your stay feel like home, yet still a luxurious getaway.

Why stay in a standard hotel when you can afford to indulge in this deluxe condominium! It is a perfect ski getaway, honeymoon, hub to explore the Canadian Rockies or quite simply a retreat from the hustle and bustle! Relax unwind and rejuvenate in the magical mountains!
