It\u2019s not often that homes on one of Edmonton\u2019s most sought-after streets go up for sale. Now, a rare opportunity to own one of Westbrook Drive\u2019s legacy properties has arrived.<\/p>\n

Located at 59 Westbrook Dr. NW, this expansive walkout bungalow is listed for $4 million. It features four bedrooms, six bathrooms and 5,137 square feet of living space on a 0.81-acre lot backing directly onto the Whitemud Ravine.<\/p>\n

Developed in the 1960s and \u201970s, Westbrook Estates was designed around the Whitemud Creek Ravine and the Derrick Golf and Winter Club, with many of its large lots backing onto one or the other. The home, built in 1970, is being offered for sale for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis property is nothing short of spectacular and cannot be replicated,\u201d the listing reads.<\/p>\n

A long driveway, partially hidden by mature trees, gives the home plenty of privacy from the street.<\/p>\n

Once you make it up the driveway, the mid-century modern design is immediately apparent, from the copper front door to the clean lines and walls of windows overlooking the outdoor pool and ravine.<\/p>\n

Indoor planters are built into the home, adding another signature feature of the era. We would love to fill these with all kinds of plants!<\/p>\n

The main living spaces are generous. The dining room includes built-in cabinetry, while the living room is centred around a brick fireplace that anchors the space.<\/p>\n

The kitchen has been updated with modern finishes but still fits with the home\u2019s original architecture. Large windows and a breakfast nook help keep the space bright.<\/p>\n

The primary suite is equally spacious, with an ensuite that makes more than enough room for a large soaker tub.<\/p>\n

Even though the home has been updated with all of the modern luxuries, we love that it\u2019s kept its character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Downstairs, the walkout basement adds another fireplace, a large family room and plenty of flexible space that could be used for entertaining, a home gym or your pool table.<\/p>\n

Out back is where the property really separates itself. The backyard features plenty of deck space and a large courtyard with an outdoor pool before giving way to uninterrupted views of the Whitemud Ravine.<\/p>\n

Between the mid-century design, the ravine lot and the fact it\u2019s only ever had one owner, this certainly isn\u2019t the type of place that comes around very often.<\/p>\n
