The fully developed basement adds incredible living space with in-floor heat, a massive rec room, large bedroom with walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom featuring tile flooring and a shower roughed-in for steam with built-in bench seating. Additional upgrades include windows replaced throughout the home along with new exterior doors (2024-2025), fresh paint completed in 2024, boiler and central air conditioning added in 2023, underground sprinklers, and newer epoxy flooring in the attached insulated garage with heater plug-in. The fully fenced backyard is designed for entertaining with a large deck, gas BBQ hookup, and hot tub new in 2024, all while enjoying the privacy and beauty of backing onto greenspace. Located close to excellent schools, parks, walking paths, shopping, and amenities, this is a truly special opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded and beautifully distinctive home in one of NW Calgary’s most desirable communities.
