Hardwood floors and updated lighting set a warm, polished tone throughout. Up front, a sun-filled south-facing living room with bay windows makes a gracious first impression. Out back is the heart of the home: a chef’s kitchen with a granite island seating four, a gas range, stainless appliances, a wine rack and a pantry, refreshed with a new backsplash, sink and fixtures. It opens to a family room where custom built-ins frame the gas fireplace, the natural spot for movie nights and slow Sunday mornings. Upstairs, the primary retreat features a walk-in closet with built-in organizers and a spa-inspired ensuite with a jetted soaker tub and glass-enclosed marble shower, joined by two more bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level adds a rec room with custom built-ins, laundry, and a private guest retreat with its own bedroom and 3-piece bath, so visiting family and out-of-town guests have space of their own. Outside, a deck with a pergola, privacy screens and a gas line for the BBQ sits within mature landscaping, made for summer evenings with no propane runs required. Peace of mind comes standard: triple-pane windows (2023), furnace (2025), A/C (2022) and hot water tank (2024), with the furnace and A/C just serviced. Electrical roughed-in for future hot tub. A double detached garage rounds it out. The location is a rare one: the home sits within the small designated attendance area for Queen Elizabeth Elementary and High School. It’s a short stroll to 19 Street NW cafés and shops, and minutes from Kensington, the Bow River pathways, downtown, SAIT, U of C and Foothills. (id:203)
