** OPEN HOUSE: August 29 & 30 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. ** This airy and light filled, modern two-storey West Hillhurst home is situated on a desirable, quiet West Hillhurst street with easy access to the Foothills Hospital, U of C, green spaces, the well loved Helicopter play park, and the Bow River. Steps from your door is the grasslands and wooded Karl Baker Park for both you and your four legged friends to ramble in. This gem is on a corner lot with a side east entrance, allowing for a shady, cooler deck on the north front side and a sun soaked south facing backyard with a large two tiered deck and patio. Entering the home from the covered porch on the east side (with lots of room to enjoy a morning coffee while you take in the West Coast aroma of the cedar shakes), you are greeted by a fully updated, chic space. The front living room has an elegantly tiled surround mantel for the wood burning fireplace and large windows. In the main gathering area of the home, you'll find a cute powder room, a stylish kitchen with quartz and butcher block counters featuring all stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a large kitchen island and a plethora of cabinets and cupboards. The cheerful breakfast nook is surrounded by windows and also includes custom cushions. In the sun-filled sunken family room, two skylights, large windows, and a vaulted ceiling lend openness and light. Step out to the south facing rear yard via the second patio door and enjoy the large, green filled yard and gorgeous perennials. The upstairs has a spacious primary bedroom with dual closets and extra storage plus a cheater ensuite door to the large full upstairs bathroom. A hall with the laundry area leads to the two other second floor bedrooms (both with blackout blinds) giving some separation to the sleeping areas. The second level and basement both have newer contemporary carpet throughout and most windows in the home have been replaced. In the fully finished, freshly painted basement you'll find a r ecreation room with a large window, perfect for games or a theatre along with built-in cabinetry and a wet bar. Another full bathroom down here along with extra storage makes this one an easy choice. You'll love living in West Hillhurst! (id:65883)
