Carefully maintained and beautifully updated, this century old arts and crafts home is a masterpiece in the heart of West Hillhurst. Three blocks from the Bow River Pathways or the Bowview Outdoor Pool, a 20 min WALK to downtown and literally steps from coffee and other neighbourhood amenities, this gem in the city center is the lifestyle home you’ve been waiting for. Stone walls define the approach to the home and mature landscaping offers a warm welcome as you climb to a well protected front porch. One of several outdoor spaces that have been cultivated through the home, the porch is ample stroller storage for a family, or a nicely shaded spot to enjoy the outdoors wile under cover. Stepping inside, natural elements like the rich wood of built-in cabinetry and trim through the living and dining rooms accent original hardwood floors and adds character to the areas where you’ll spend most of your time. A spacious and well laid out kitchen flows to both the dining and backyard so you can host guests or dine with family at either location with equal ease and large windows complimented by French doors keep the space well lit and airy. Two generous bedrooms upstairs are serviced by a brand new 4pc bath, and the den is a cozy spot to sit with a good book or listen to the latest podcast. Downstairs, a full professional renovation was undertaken to maximize both form and function. Enjoy movie nights in the clean and comfortable family room before settling in for the night and retiring to a generous primary bedroom fitted with built-in closets and a crisp 3pc ensuite. The addition of the fourth bedroom / office is a cherry on top and offers flexibility when designing life in your new home. The utility room offers plenty of storage and a spacious laundry area is well suited to keep your life humming along and you rest easy knowing the furnace (2018), and hot water tank (2022) have all been replaced, along with the roof in (2016). Last but not least, the private backyard is a haven the provides yard to run though (or build a rink), decks to lounge on, and shade from mature trees. Don’t wait for your opportunity to be the next lucky owner of this landmark home. Call today!
