For many families, daily life is a full schedule: long workdays, school pickups, evening activities and everything in between. This makes quality time over dinner all the more valuable.
A warm, well-designed dining space makes it easier to slow down, gather and reconnect. That’s available in the Webster II by Morrison Homes.
This is a three-bedroom, 2,167-square-foot model now displayed as a show home in Seton. The southeast Calgary master-planned community is home to an array of amenities, including the South Health Campus.
In this home, the bright and carefully framed dining nook is a seamless extension of its open-concept kitchen, delivering a defined yet fluid transition between cooking and gathering spaces.
The nook’s rear-facing wall is almost entirely composed of windows. It’s joined, on a side wall, by a door with a glass insert that accesses a real deck. The result is a space flooded with natural light.
Its ceiling design introduces architectural drama. The area is visually framed by a dropped beam border, which creates a coffered effect and defines the dining zone within the open-concept layout.
Inside this framed section, two exposed dark-stained beams span the width of the ceiling. These beams anchor the dining area and differentiate it from the kitchen and great room.
In the show home, use of wallpaper makes one of the walls an accent.
The dining area faces a substantial, L-shaped kitchen.
Its central island, featuring an elegant waterfall design, serves as a workhorse. It offers preparation space, seating for four and clear sightlines to both the dining nook and great room.
When it comes to functionality, the kitchen doesn’t hold back, especially in the storage department.
It’s equipped with tall cabinets in a sleek charcoal finish, including upper cabinets with glass-front doors. This use of glass adds a touch of elegance while offering visibility for frequently used or decorative items.
Open floating shelves on the right-hand wall offer both practical and decorative storage. This is ideal for coffee supplies, cookbooks or accent pieces.
There’s also a dedicated beverage station. It boasts drawers and cabinets ideal for storing mugs, pods and other kitchen essentials.
Regarding storage, the kitchen also includes a walk-through pantry that reaches the mud room. This format creates a convenient path for putting away groceries after a trip to the grocery store.
In the great room, the high note is its sleek linear fireplace. Just below the fireplace runs a dark floating mantle-style shelf, perfect for displaying small art pieces or framed photos.
On the second level, each bedroom has a walk-in closet. This additional storage in the secondary bedrooms help them meet the needs of the family’s children as they get older.
The sleep spaces are also well-sized, with the larger reaching 13 feet two inches by 10 feet six inches.
The primary bedroom is positioned along the rear-facing wall, adjacent to a welcoming bonus room.
For the primary, the closet is accessed from within the ensuite. This creates convenient, singular space for both morning and bedtime routines.
The ensuite boasts a glass-enclosed shower with sleek black matte hardware, including a modern rain-style showerhead. Its interior is finished with large, neutral-toned tiles, giving the space a clean, spa-like atmosphere.
Adjacent to the shower is a deep soaker tub encased in matching tile surround, creating a cohesive look.
The show home demonstrates the model’s basement development where there’s an additional bedroom and bathroom. The basement also includes a kitchen and rec area.
