Serene and secluded, this classic 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow is a rare gem; nestled into a quiet ‘nature reserve-like’ property and yet only steps away from Foothills Medical Centre, walking distance to Alberta Children’s Hospital and U of C in a highly sought after “closer-in” area of NW Calgary. The hallmark attribute of this residence is an exquisite, converted breezeway transformed by a local artisan into a retreat room that serves as this home’s heart and soul. Heated by a wood burning stove, and set under a vaulted ceiling with open beams, this sanctuary supports reading, writing and quiet meditation with equal potential to be that home office for which you have always longed! Enter from the front through a custom-made, wooden “speak-easy” door to a main floor of two bedrooms, a fully renovated 4 piece bath with soaker tub, the living room ambience of a second wood-burning stove and dining room + kitchen each looking out to the natural setting of the yard and its squirrels, birds, trees and gardens. A spacious lower level opens to a comfortable multi-use room accompanied by one bedroom, a three-piece bath (sizeable walk-in shower), over-sized laundry room (utility sink + storage cupboards), a storage room with potential to convert to a wine cellar, and a fully functioning sauna. Entertain or relax on a two tiered rear deck with its barbeque and shelter enveloped in the fully fenced private yard. A back ally provides access to the over-sized single attached garage and two off street paved parking or room for RV parking. St. Andrew’s Heights offers tennis courts, skating rink and the best toboggan hill in the city. This stellar location also allows easy access to transit, highway 1, Kananaskis and Banff. But, then again, you might not want to go anywhere Numerous Upgrades include: exterior painting (2018), new windows (2010), renovated bathrooms (2010), NEW with warranty hot water tank, newer blinds and garage door (2018), new shingles, eaves and down spouts (2016).
