The epitome of a lake access lifestyle home, this McKenzie Lake beauty ensures that play far outweighs work, with an amazing array of recreation options at your doorstep. Inside, vaulted ceilings fill the space with natural light, and a double-sided gas fireplace is a beautiful focal point in a living room that invites you to sit down and relax a while. Rich-toned hardwood floors and great lighting characterize the main level, which opens up toward the back of the home with west-facing views. A luxurious custom chef's kitchen is done in warm natural shades ranging from custom designed, espresso solid wood cabinetry to cream stone counters. Upgraded appliances include a high-end dual fuel gas range and hood vent, hidden dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a large island that seats multiple people includes a triple sink that makes keeping tidy as you host the crew for wine and appetizers – or just keep up with the kids – a breeze. An easy-access full pantry is another coveted feature. In the family room, large transom windows frame views of the back yard and the green space beyond, as does a sunny dining nook. A half bathroom and a laundry area next to the entry from the double attached garage complete the more functional elements of this floor. On the upper storey, a spacious master suite offers a walk-in closet and a well-appointed ensuite, with a stand-up shower and a separate jetted soaker tub that awaits your end-of-day unwind. Three more bedrooms, making a total of four on this level are large, as is the main bathroom that rounds out this family-friendly layout. The finished basement is ready for fun, with space for your home theatre, games area, and even a pool table room! There is a rough-in for a fourth bathroom and more than enough room for a 5th bedroom to be added. Outside, a stunningly landscaped yard features gorgeous garden beds and a patio that begs you to spend more time outside. Looking for adventure? You've come to the right place. Simply open the gate and step out to a peaceful green space that connects up to pathways extending to the Bow River Pathway and Fish Creek Park! And yes, this is a lake access home, only a few minutes walk to the entrance of the Lake, so you don't have to travel far to enjoy the beach life. Plus, the home is fully air conditioned which is great when returning from a hot day at the beach! If the mountains and camping are your style, you will love the large cul-de-sac and the corner lot with an extra long driveway; you can easily turn around and your rig can be parked on your own property while you load up for that next wilderness experience. Nearby schools are so close you can watch the kids walk across the field to get there, and the golf course is just down the street as well. A full complement of shops is available in a short drive, and main routes easily connect the area to the rest of Calgary, plus Stoney Trail allows you to skip the traffic and get out of town.
