Updated with a crisp contemporary aesthetic, the kitchen pairs quartz countertops with a waterfall-edge peninsula, stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry and a bayed breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. Three main-floor bedrooms keep daily living conveniently on one level, including a spacious primary retreat with windows on 2 sides and a built-in custom closet system. A minimalist 4-piece bathroom completes this floor. Central air conditioning adds welcome comfort through the warmer months, while a new furnace and on-demand hot water system provide valuable updates to the home’s mechanicals. Downstairs, the finished basement substantially expands the usable space with 2 additional bedrooms and an impressive rec room where abundant pot lighting, extra windows and an electric fireplace establish a comfortable setting for movie nights, games, hobbies or a home office. Outside, the south-facing backyard feels wonderfully private among mature landscaping and established gardens. A large deck with gas hookup extends the entertaining space, while a patio, grassy area and automated irrigation make the yard equally suited to relaxing, gardening and play. Parking is handled by a double detached garage accessed from the paved back lane. Beyond the property, Elboya puts an outstanding collection of inner-city amenities close at hand, with Elboya Scho ol and St. Anthony School just steps away and Britannia shopping, the Elbow River pathway system, Stanley Park and the Glencoe Club all within easy reach. Quick connections to Chinook Centre, the LRT and downtown round out a location that balances neighbourhood character with everyday convenience. With 5 bedrooms, a fully finished lower level, a beautiful south backyard and thoughtful mechanical upgrades, this move-in ready bungalow brings remarkable versatility to one of Calgary’s most established inner-city communities.
