Stunning Masterpiece on Ravine !
 
Welcome to 14524 Ravine Drive. This uniquely beautiful property was the private residence of the award-winning architect Peter Hemingway. His iconic designs for Edmonton's Muttart Conservatory and Coronation Pool (recently renamed Peter Hemingway Fitness and Leisure Centre) are just two of his much admired and beloved public buildings.
 
His former home is equally interesting and welcoming for the homeowners and their guests. No one who visits fails to comment on its unique design, the natural flow of the rooms, and the countless warm custom finishing details. The ambience has been aptly described by an Edmonton architect and designer as "unpretentious and casually chic".
 
The building materials include natural woods, chocolate brick, textured slate, stone tiles, brushed silver hardware and light fixtures, expansive glass roofs and skylights, stainless steel and copper. No detail is overlooked in this outstanding home.
 
Once inside the home situated on three MacKinnon Ravine lots, it is immediately clear to the visitor that Hemingway's genius was designing the living spaces to focus primarily to the south side on the surrounding ravine parkland. Standing in the ravine back yard one might be somewhere in the country quite removed from urban life, yet this outstanding location is only minutes to downtown Edmonton. This is a special property that must be seen inside as well as out to be thoroughly appreciated.
