This downtown Calgary home boasts a view that could turn the worst of mornings around, no matter what side of the bed you woke up on.

The $2.5 million condo features two levels of floor to ceiling windows, allowing in vast amounts of natural light from sun up to sun down.

While the price tag might be a bit high for some, this condo comes with it all, boasting 2,2000-sq-ft indoors, and an additional 2,000-sq-ft of rooftop patio space.

Watch the birds fly by from the top of the building, or simply bask in the summer sun — from inside or outside. The windows in this place are massive, turning an entire wall into a view of downtown and the Bow River.

Elevator Pitch: This penthouse has one of the best views that Calgary has to offer — without the hassle of dealing with tourists at the Calgary Tower. All the best things come in twos, and with two beds, two baths, and two floors, the penthouse at Avenue West End is like a dream come true.

Highlight: You’ve basically got the entire roof to yourself for anything from a wild party to a relaxing night in the rooftop hot tub for two, but the sheer amount of sunlight this place gets will be just perfect — especially on those lounge chairs.

Potential turn off: We’re talking top floor here, so if you’ve got a fear of heights, you may want to avoid looking out those windows.
