Elite Homes’ stately showcase, the Gemini, is a 2,553-square-foot two-storey abode with some pretty interesting room angles. Features worth making the trip west for some face time include a formal dining room serving up sights of the two-storey foyer, and winding staircase to a loft and three bedrooms, not the least of which is a master bedroom with a regal ensuite bathroom boasting a kidney-shaped corner tub, dual vanities and a one-of-a-kind central island decked out with cabinets galore.

Elite is building two-storeys in the northwesterly neighbourhood from the 2,000 square foot mark and up, as well as a few bungalow plans for home shoppers who prefer single-level living. To get to Royal Oak Estates, take Crowchild Tr. west to Rocky Ridge Rd., turn right, then right again (east) on Royal Oak Dr. Show home hours are Monday through Thursday 2 pm. to 8 p.m. and weekends and holidays from noon to 5 p.m.
