There are a few characteristics a home’s primary bedroom needs to provide a proper escape. They’re reflected in a new show home by Baywest Homes. The Wren is a 1,953-square-foot laned model with three bedrooms and 2.
5 bathrooms demonstrated in CreekView. This is a new southwest Calgary community offering Carriage House, Prairie Modern, Craftsman and Urban Modern style architecture. The primary bedroom in this home is well-sized, boasts visual interest, upscale accessory spaces and benefits from a degree of isolation.
Not only does the central bonus room create a buffer between the primary and secondary bedrooms, but the heads of the household are removed even further. While the entrance to this bedroom borders the bonus room, a short passageway creates separation between the entrance and the sleep space itself. 1 of 3 Full Screen is not supported on this browser version.

This rectangle-shaped space has the ability to function as a dressing room. Found along the aforementioned passageway, the ensuite is tucked away. The selections for this space within the show home are soothing, reminiscent of a hotel spa.
There’s a large glass-encased shower with full-height tile next to a deep soaker tub. These pieces face an elegant vanity with two sinks. Within the bedroom, itself, the focal point is a soaring vaulted ceiling.
Both a laundry room and full bathroom face the bonus room. Featuring a front-load washer and dryer, there’s a lot of space in the laundry area to move, unload and sort clothes. The secondary bedrooms, which sit side by side, are nearly identical in size.
For young families, this eliminates arguments between siblings over who gets larger bedroom. On the open-concept main level, every room feels spacious. One reason is that the staircase to the second level is just off the foyer rather than competing for square footage with the great room or dining area along the back.
Ideal for people have a hybrid or remote work, another feature near the foyer is a 10-foot by 10-foot six-inch home office. In the show home, this space is staged with a desk, cabinets, and photocopier. The centrally located L-shaped kitchen is grand.
With two points of entry and generous space between the island and kitchen features on the wall, it’s easy for multiple people to circulate without crossing paths. A prominent visual on this wall is a stylish full-height tile backsplash. The island has a sink and seating for three people with pendant lighting above it.
Storage is a strength in this kitchen. Along with the array of cabinet doors and drawers, there’s a corner pantry. This ensures every pot, pan, blender and cereal box are stored in a location where they can be found.
The great room is a welcoming and bright. Large rear-facing windows fill the 12-foot six-inch by 12-foot 10-inch gathering space with natural light. CreekView is located about 10 minutes south of Spruce Meadows.
Golf buffs will appreciate that the community is within 15 minutes of five courses, including Sirocco Golf Course. HOME: The Wren is a 1,953-square-foot three-bedroom laned single-family model. BUILDER: Baywest Homes.
