Family home on a huge lot (.23 of an acre) in Upper Elbow Park. Positioned to capture the light on this bright and sunny corner. Discreet from the curb?inside you?ll discover a spacious mid-century-influenced home that works well for the large or busy family with nearly 5300 square feet of total development, 5-6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The long-term owners have done upgrades and renovations over the years. The home is very comfortable and livable but a new buyer could renovate and take it to the next level. Generous entry with stone floors. Open plan principal rooms with huge windows on 3 sides allowing in tons of light?even on a dull day. A large seating area enjoys a gas fireplace and built-ins. The dining area has entertaining storage and overlooks the fabulous rear yard. The kitchen also overlooks the rear yard and features an island with 2nd sink and a pantry wall with excellent storage. Sliding doors out to the rear yard. The main level continues with a bedroom, an office (or 6th bedroom), 4 piece bath, 2 piece powder room and large laundry. Bright family room with fireplace and warm leather floors a few steps down from the main. A large and well-organized mudroom connects to the attached, heated and oversized double garage (potential to expand to a triple). The upper level has 2 huge bedrooms (one with a large walk-in closet and access to a large terrace) plus a 5-piece bath with double vanity. Easy to imagine a renovation that could create 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on this level, possibly incorporating the terrace into living space. The massive lower level holds a rambling and multi-function recreation room with wet-bar, fireplace and a ?secret? room for kids. Also 2 more bedrooms, a 4-piece bath, sauna and endless storage. Newer infrastructure including a membrane roof (2010). Professionally landscaped to create an outdoor oasis with stone patios, pergolas, built-in BBQ, flame table, water feature, raised beds and landscape lighting?all surrounded by a high privacy fence. Hot-tub ready too. Elbow Park is a wonderful family friendly community. William Reid School is just around the corner and other top schools are close by. Also close to River Park (52 acres with trails and off-leash), the Elbow River pathway system (30+ kms for walking and biking), Elbow Park Community Centre, the Glencoe Club, shopping and minutes to downtown. Fast possession available.
