Set on a tree-lined street and directly across from a park, this charming 5-bed bungalow in Ogden offers a versatile living space, including a 2-bedroom illegal basement suite, making it an excellent choice for families or investors.
The home has undergone numerous renovations, updates, and upgrades over the years, and its meticulous maintenance is evident throughout. One of the main highlights is the large West-facing front deck that overlooks a green space and playground, providing a peaceful view from the comfort of your home. Plus, this home boasts outstanding curb appeal, making it a standout in the neighbourhood!
Inside, the main floor welcomes you with beautifully refinished hardwood flooring, which has been expertly replaced and installed in the opposite direction to eliminate squeaking. Upon entering, you'll find convenient built-in shelving with granite counters in the foyer, creating a functional space for storing belongings and providing a visual separation from the main living area.
Just off the foyer, two newly added barn doors lead to a bedroom overlooking the front deck. This versatile room can serve as a home office, guest bedroom, or anything that suits your needs.
The living room is a comfortable retreat, featuring built-in shelving with granite counters set against a feature wall and a massive window overlooking the front yard, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space. Adjacent to the living room, a well-sized dining area accommodates a full dining set, making it ideal for entertaining, hosting game nights, or enjoying family dinners.
A well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, ample counter space and cabinetry, a dual basin stainless steel sink, and a window for natural light.
The primary bedroom is spacious and bright, featuring a large window, a closet, and additional built-in shelves for storage or display. A second bedroom on this level also offers generous space with a large window and closet. The 4-piece main bathroom includes heated tiled flooring, a floating vanity, a linen closet, quartz counters against a feature wall, and a fully tiled tub/shower combo.
At the rear of the home, you'll find a unique mudroom back entrance, created by converting part of the rear deck into an enclosed space with a glass sliding door. A laundry area with a side-by-side washer and dryer adds to the home's functionality.
The basement level is accessible via a closed-in rear patio and offers a private separate entrance. With the addition of a wall just off the dining area, this space has the potential to become a fully separated area.
Currently configured as an illegal 2-bedroom suite, the basement features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with ample storage and shelving. The kitchen is fully equipped with necessary appliances, including a dishwasher, and offers plenty of cabinetry.
One of the bedrooms is exceptionally versatile, capable of serving as a gym, playroom, home library, or whatever suits your imagination. This bedroom also features a 3-piece ensuite with a fully tiled stand-up shower and has been appropriately vented for a stacked washer/dryer setup. The second bedroom is equally spacious, offering a closet and a large window to ensure plenty of natural light.
Thoughtful lighting features enhance the home’s exterior, offering convenience and security. Soffit lights at the back of the house are equipped with a sensor that automatically turns them on at sunset and off at sunrise. Motion-activated lights are discreetly placed along the side of the house under the siding, illuminating paths and walkways at night for added safety. At the front of the house, soffit lights are operated by a switch near the front door inside the bedroom off the foyer.
In 2013, the home received extensive upgrades, including an updated roof, insulation in most walls, and updated James Hardie siding. The back deck was split into an enclosed mudroom and an outdoor area. Updated windows were added upstairs, except in the kitchen. The mechanical room was upgraded with a tankless water heater and an energy-efficient furnace, and the water supply lines were increased to 3/4". In 2006, renovations included an updated egress window in the primary bedroom, heated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom, and an added separate laundry area.
Ogden is a charming community established in 1912. This community offers easy access to Glenmore Trail to the south and Deerfoot Trail to the west - you’ll be in the city in no time! Residents enjoy excellent access to schools, including Banting and Best Elementary, Sherwood Community public schools, and St. Bernadette Elementary School for those seeking Catholic education. The local Lynnwood Park provides a central gathering place for outdoor activities and relaxation. Ogden is also well-served by numerous pathways that wind their way down to the Bow River. It offers easy access to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and the Inglewood Golf Course, making it perfect for nature enthusiasts and golfers alike. Plus, the recently developed Quarry Park is only a 5-minute drive south with endless shopping and its own YMCA.
