Description

MOVE IN READY OR BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME ON THIS FABULOUS LOT. This large and unique Briar Hill/Hounsfield Heights escarpment property offers the quiet seclusion of a rural home, the downtown views of an upper floor apartment and proximity to amenities that only an inner-city Calgary neighbourhood can provide. A busy executive will appreciate the downtown rush hour commute of 8 minutes by car or 20 minutes by transit, although a healthy contemplative stroll through several parks can still get you downtown in 35 minutes. This home’s corner location, elevation, large front lawn and its many trees and shrubs have created an unsurpassed peaceful ambiance for its owners.The home is in excellent condition with 3 bedrooms, including a very large master with a large ensuite bathroom and a secondary 4-piece bathroom on the upper floor. The main floor is an airy space with lots of large windows and open connections between rooms. It includes a spacious living room, kitchen, dining room, TV room with gas assisted, wood burning fireplace, laundry, generous office and a 2-piece bathroom. The basement level has a large pantry, work shop, 3-piece bathroom, 2 room recreational area and a large crawl space for storage. The basement connects directly to an oversize double garage (616 sq ft) that has plenty of extra work and storage space.The landscape sets this property apart. Across the street from a pretty city park, it is almost 1/3 of an acre with an abundance of trees and shrubs along the perimeter that provide the privacy that only 65 years of growth can create. The oversize south facing deck is situated far back and high up from the street where it overlooks downtown and south Calgary. It is a private and homey spot for a morning coffee or reading a book and a great venue for entertaining family and guests. The expansive, sunny, tiered front yard distances the home from the street while the back yard is a shaded and very private retreat where you can watch birds year round from the kitchen window.This home is part of a close-knit community and enjoys quick access to Lions Park LRT (4 minute walk), 16th Ave shops, SAIT, U of C, AUA, Foothills Hospital, Alberta Children’s Hospital, schools and Kensington, among many others.
