This unassuming $2.4M Edmonton home looks like a posh ski resort

It may not look like much from the front, but step inside, and this south Edmonton home feels more like a mountain ski resort.
Tucked away at 18420 8A Ave. SW, the house sits on five acres of gated land along a private street backing right onto the river valley.

Recently listed for $2,380,000, the home boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and just under 4,000 square feet of living space.
Step through the doors and you’re met with warm tones, wood panelling, and gorgeous timber accents.

The kitchen is rustic, featuring rich wood cabinetry, brick accents, and ample space to cook or gather around the island.

The massive windows at the back of the house open up to immaculate views of the river valley.

We especially love this living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, a grand fireplace, and equally massive windows. We would LOVE to be curled up here with a hot drink watching the snow fall!

Upstairs, you’ll find another cozy and inviting living space with exposed beams and a second brick fireplace.

The primary bedroom feels like a retreat of its own, with vaulted wood-beam ceilings and a large window overlooking the trees and river valley. There’s even room for a cozy sitting area, plus a walk-in closet and ensuite.
