Savvy buyers, you’re going to love this duplex. It’s got charm, a great location, and a LEGAL basement suite – hello, revenue generation potential! As you walk up, mature trees shelter the front yard to create a lovely sense of privacy. The upper unit is beautifully laid out and fully updated, with plank flooring and fresh paint. A sunny kitchen has inviting cottage vibes thanks to tidy white cabinetry, dark countertops, and textured subway tile backsplashes. A diner window overlooks the dining area for an open feel, and this well-connected space flows into a huge L-shaped living room, where a wood- burning fireplace is the star of the show. Sliding glass doors bring in so much natural light, and the balcony is the perfect spot to relax with your favourite beverage. Both bedrooms are generous and have large closets, and the bathroom is spacious and well-appointed also. The large basement suite is similarly refreshed, and is bright and open, with two big bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom as well as a shared laundry room. Outside, the south-facing back yard is a gardener’s paradise. A nice stretch of lawn begs for a firepit, and there is plentiful parking off the alley – enough even for the boat or trailer – or you could consider adding a garage. The stellar location of this home lends itself well to an active lifestyle. The Bowness Stairs just a block away, or wander through the nearby Bowness Park and the Bow River Pathways for hours. There is rafting and dog parks in the area, too. Canada Olympic Park is just down the road for year-round alpine fun. Plus, within a few blocks you can walk to a whole host of amenities. Proximity to main routes gets you downtown and around town easily, or hop on the highway and head out of the city and into to the mountains in only a few minutes.
