OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY SEPT. 20, 12:00-2:00pm. COUNTRY LIVING THIS CLOSE TO CALGARY? Yes please! Located just 8 minutes to Spruce Meadows, 10 minutes to Calgary and 8 minutes to Stoney Trail, this 4.99 acre property gives you the space and privacy you have been dreaming about without giving up an easy commute to shopping, restaurants, transit and downtown. Cross fencing makes this a great option for a couple of horses, while mature trees surrounding the home provides wonderful privacy and shade. This two storey home has been continually updated over the years, including shingles replaced just a few weeks ago. Step inside and you will immediately notice the vaulted ceilings soaring above the living and dining areas. The kitchen features timeless solid wood cabinetry, granite counters, updated stainless appliances and a pantry. The huge dining room is exactly what a country home needs, with plenty of space to gather family and friends. A cozy fireplace adds warmth and a garden door leads directly to the large upper deck, making entertaining inside and out effortless. Take a moment to appreciate the stunning western views with the rolling foothills in the distance. This is what Alberta is all about! Granary Road is so close you could even walk down for a coffee. Whether entering through the front door or garage, you will appreciate the clever combination of a 2 piece bathroom and huge walk-in closet, helping keep everyone organized the moment they arrive home. Laundry hookups are already here if main floor laundry is preferred. Be sure to peek into the garage and check out the epoxy floors. A main floor den, with desk included, makes an ideal home office or study area. Upstairs are generous secondary bedrooms and a beautifully renovated 4 piece bathroom. The primary bedroom is a dream with two separate closets PLUS a walk-in closet. The pretty ensuite features a walk-in shower, and both the bedroom and ensuite enjoy those gorgeous western views. The walkout basement makes the lower level bright, inviting and incredibly usable. A fantastic bar with gorgeous granite is ready for entertaining, while the large family room opens out to the covered stone patio. Imagine ending the day here, watching the sun set over your own land. A bedroom with a large walk-in closet and a 3 piece bathroom creates a wonderful private space for teens or overnight guests. With 4.99 acres to explore, room for horses, beautiful views and mature trees, make sure you leave enough time to walk the land. Once you do, you may find yourself wondering why you waited so long to move to the country.
