A piece of Calgary Flames history is for sale and it just saw a $2M price drop
A piece of Calgary Flames history is up for grabs, as a penthouse owned by Harley and Rebecca Hotchkiss has hit the market at a newly reduced price.
The penthouse, located at 1201, 690 Princeton Way SW, is owned by the Hotchkiss Family Estate and has never been for sale before. It was custom-built by Hotchkiss in 2002.
Harley was one of six Calgary businessmen who bought and moved the NHL’s Atlanta Flames hockey franchise to Calgary in 1980, along with being a key player in overseeing the construction of the Scotiabank Saddledome.
He passed away at the age of 83 back in 2011.
The penthouse first hit the market last December for $9,500,000 and has been relisted for $7,500,000.

Just look at that oval staircase! Talk about elegance.

The breakfast nook is one of our favourite rooms in the house, as sunshine beams flow through the east, south, and west windows.
The main bedroom also has two sets of doors that lead to a French terrace, a fireplace, and a library sitting area.
The east wing of the penthouse holds the large guest quarters, with room for two double beds and a sitting area. The adjoining ensuite has a soaking bathtub and a stunning vanity.

When you add the exterior living space, you come to a grand total of more than 5,500 square feet of space, and it’s so snazzy that the millwork detailing, interior design elements, and furnishings are modelled after Chateau de Versailles.
