If you’re looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, don’t miss out on this perfect starter home in Bridlewood! This detached home is located on a quiet street close to all local amenities and just a quick drive to Macleod and Stoney Trail for easy commuting around the city.
Great for young families or first-time buyers, this 3-bedroom home has been extremely well-cared for through the years and features several recent updates and a fantastic West-facing backyard with low maintenance landscaping.
This home begins with a welcoming foyer and perfect home office, home school, or flex environment with a built-in closet to keep shoes and jackets organized. Just inside, the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area are flooded with natural light through oversized West-facing windows that also provide views of the lovely backyard.
The bright, white modern kitchen boasts tons of counter and storage space, including a central island with raised bar seating, extensive shaker-style cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, and a walk-in corner pantry. The stainless-steel appliance package features a refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range, and microwave. Next to the kitchen, there is plenty of space for an eat-in dining room, with a large window and a glass door that leads directly to the rear deck. Across from the kitchen, the spacious living room is flooded with natural light with plenty of space to accommodate a variety of furniture options and centres on an inset gas fireplace with polished metal surround.
Rounding out the main level, a discrete 2-piece powder room is ideally located away from the primary living space and perfect for every day/guest use. The attached front garage offers space to park two vehicles and has a roughed-in storage area above.
Upstairs, a bonus room, 3 good-sized bedrooms and a full 4-piece bathroom easily accommodate families of all sizes. The primary bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet and a private 4-piece ensuite. Both secondary bedrooms are a great size and boast large windows and built-in closets. An updated laundry room means no going up and down the stairs to put laundry away, and the main 4-piece bath has a good-sized vanity and a tub/shower combo. Plus, the upper bonus room with a large window can be used as an entertainment area, second home office, kid’s play area, and could even be converted to a 4th bedroom if desired!
Downstairs, the unfinished basement boasts over 642 square feet of space, making customization potential endless. Keep it as a storage area, add a net for an indoor sports training room, or develop it into a large rec room or even a fourth bedroom/overnight guest retreat.
Outside, the sunny West-facing backyard features a large deck, perfect for entertaining and spending time with family throughout the year. Low maintenance landscaping is great for those who want to enjoy their outdoor space without all of the upkeep! Recent exterior upgrades include an updated roof (with replacement eaves and screens on order) and newly replaced vinyl siding. Interior upgrades include an updated hot water tank and a new washer and dryer.
