About this property

The expensive, behind-the-scenes work is done. Now this detached home is waiting for the right buyer with a vision. Offering approx. 928.29 sq. ft. above grade plus approx. 811.98 sq. ft. of developed lower-level space, it suits someone happy to put in a little elbow grease, or comfortable living here while renovating room by room, and turning it into a home that truly shines. The big-ticket items are taken care of: a new roof in 2021, a new furnace and tankless hot water system in 2023, Poly-B plumbing removed and central AC. These are the projects that eat up a renovation budget. With them done, your money and energy can go toward the finishes you’ll see and enjoy every day. Fresh paint throughout, some new light fixtures and some updated windows give you a clean starting point. The main level features two well-sized bedrooms, a 4pc bathroom, a bright living area with large bay windows and an updated kitchen with freshly painted cabinetry, added pantry storage and a gas stove. The breakfast nook opens onto the rear deck and expansive back yard. The fully finished lower level offers two more bedrooms with large egress windows, a 3pc bathroom, a spacious bonus/family room, laundry, utility space and storage. With four bedrooms and a full bathroom on each level, the layout works for families, guests, home offices or future rental considerations. The massive front yard offers mature trees, shrubbery and plenty of green space with southeast exposure, while the northwest-facing backyard has been landscaped with retaining walls to create flat, usable areas. Raised garden beds, low-maintenance landscaping, under-deck storage and a large shed add further functionality. Parking is a major advantage, with room for approx. four vehicles on the front drive plus rear-lane access to an RV parking area that fits an RV of approx. 30 feet. With R-CG zoning, the rear of the lot may offer future potential for a detached garage and a secondary suite above, subject to City approval, permits and applicable regulations. On a quiet street, Millcrest Park and playground are a short walk away, Our Lady of Peace K-9 school is within the community and public schools are nearby in Shawnessy. Sobeys at Millrise Plaza is approx. a 3 to 5 minute drive with a pharmacy and neighbourhood services nearby, while the Shawnessy shopping district offers Superstore, retail and restaurants. Fish Creek-Lacombe and Shawnessy CTrain stations are minutes away, as is the Shawnessy recreation hub with the YMCA, Calgary Public Library and ice arenas. Fish Creek Provincial Park is a short drive, with Macleod Trail, Shawnessy Boulevard and Stoney Trail providing easy connections across south Calgary. A solid detached home on a substantial corner lot, with the heavy lifting done, abundant parking and plenty of opportunity to add value and build equity. Bring your vision and make this one shine.
