Are you looking for the right house in a neighbourhood you can truly call home? Bowness is a community that residents are proud to call home, due to its incredible park space, access to the Bow River, 'Main Street' with cherished local businesses and fantastic access both to downtown Calgary and west to the mountains. This lovely bungalow has been home to the same family for the past 20 years, who have loved its charm, the huge sunny SW backyard, great neighbours and a quiet street in one of the best pockets of Bowness (far from the train, high school and highway and NO flooding!). The custom live-edge wood front door built by a local Bowness carpenter sets the tone for this home with so much character! The fully RENOVATED KITCHEN (2011) is the heart of the home, featuring meals cooked with veggies from your own garden :) New fridge/gas stove/dishwasher in the past 3 years and everyone loves a sink that overlooks the back yard! The living room features a rare VAULTED CEILING, bringing in enormous amounts of natural light. You will love the wood-burning fireplace and sliding door access onto the sunny back deck. The dining room creates a hub for sharing meals and doing homework with a custom built-in bench seat. Hardwood flooring and a light colour scheme make this home ready to move in. The primary bedroom features brand new carpeting and a full ensuite bath with in-floor heat, oversized tub and antique dresser stylishly converted to a vanity. Two additional kids bedrooms and a 2-piece bath on this level as well as a mud room for convenient access from the garage. The partially finished basement has a cold room, a big rec area that would be easy to finish off and a shower/toilet off of the laundry & utility area. An incredible feature of this home is the 2009-built insulated & heated garage with a 200 amp panel and 8' tall door! The extra depth in the garage means you can easily have a large workshop AND park a vehicle. Beside the garage is a gate so you can park a trailer, boat or second vehicle. This low-density street has tons of street parking. Enjoy backyard fires with a view of the treed escarpment. From this location, you can easily walk or ride your bike up to the new Calgary Farmers Market, Analog Coffee, Monki Bistro & more in Greenwich or stroll down to Cadence Coffee, Brewsmith Brewing, Bow Cycle, Leopold's and more on Main Street Bowness! Skate at Bowness Park, trail run at Bowmont Park and play team sports at Shouldice Park which are all nearby plus you can go skiing right across the highway at Winsport! Write the next chapter for this home and enjoy the long-term investment potential of a 50'x120' parcel with SW backyard! OPEN HOUSE APRIL 12 from 12-2!
