This charming UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS home is hitting the market for the very first time! This highly sought after community offers amazing AMENITIES including being 1 block from the University of Calgary, a short drive to trendy Kensington and Market Mall, very quick access to TWO Hospitals, and walking distance to McMahon Stadium and other local parks! The home itself boasts over 4,000 square feet of finished living space and is located on an oversized PIE-SHAPED LOT in a quiet CUL-DE-SAC with numerous mature trees. You are welcomed into the home through double doors to a large circular staircase complete with chandelier. Off this main entrance is a bright office (or main floor flex room) with south facing windows. To the west of the entrance lies a very well-lit and cozy living room. Along the west side of the home are large windows that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from inside. This is where you will find the formal dining room that has a classic built-in wooden buffet perfect for entertaining guests or serving large family dinners. Directly next to the dining room is an updated kitchen complete with granite countertops, maple cabinets, and a tiled backsplash. Its large window faces the expansive backyard on the north side of the house. Here you can enjoy a more casual meal at the kitchen table and then move over to the adjacent family room that comes complete with an attractive stone wood-burning fireplace. The 2pc washroom and mud room finish off the features of the main floor and provide side access to the DOUBLE DETACHED GARAGE. Moving upstairs there are a total of 4 bedrooms with the primary being located on the east side of the home, perfect for early morning sunrises. The primary bedroom is spacious and has a walk-in closet and 4pc ensuite. The remaining 3 bedrooms are located on the other end of the home and share their own 4pc bathroom. Finishing off the upstairs is a conveniently located laundry room and 2 linen closets to meet your storage needs. Before you head back downstairs, don't forget to check out the second level patio that runs the entire length of the house. This is a great place to sit and watch the world go by or enjoy a morning coffee! Moving downstairs you enter the fully finished basement and immediately notice a second wood burning fireplace in a cozy side room accessed through a unique ‘arch bookcase'. The basement has enough space for game playing and entertaining guests with its unique built-in wet bar. There is a 3pc bathroom serving the lower level, a functioning CEDAR SAUNA, and ample storage - both warm and cold.
Heading outside, you will notice how the pie shaped lot creates a LARGE BACKYARD which is perfect for summer activities or landscaping projects. The angled property lines also allow the house to breathe on all sides which optimizes the amount of privacy. Properties like this are rare to see, so don't miss out and call today!
