Situated on a corner lot in historic Bankview, this beautifully maintained 3+1 bedroom character residence offers over 2,500 sq ft of living space and exudes the warmth, charm, and craftsmanship of its 1929 origins. The classic main level features hardwood floors and a welcoming den with custom built ins that evoke an arts and crafts aesthetic. A spacious living room anchored by a wood burning fireplace flows effortlessly into the dining area—an inviting space with ample room to host family and friends. The recently reinspired kitchen blends character with modern convenience, showcasing a beaded ceiling, crisp white cabinetry, built in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. A 2 piece powder room and a dedicated storage room complete the main level. The second level offers access to a sunny south facing balcony and hosts a study, three bedrooms, and a renovated 4 piece main bath with jetted tub. The study provides direct access to the generous primary bedroom, where a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace, and walk in closet create a serene retreat. The private 5 piece ensuite is a true sanctuary, appointed with heated floors, dual sinks, a timeless freestanding clawfoot tub, and a separate shower with rain head and rejuvenating body jets. A versatile loft—accessed through the larger bedroom—adds even more flexibility, ideal for a games area, hobby space, or home gym. The lower level includes a large bedroom, cold room/storage space, and a laundry room with direct access to the insulated and drywalled double attached garage and workshop. Notable updates include refreshed lighting, custom window coverings, an on demand tankless hot water heater, many newer windows, newer furnace, and significant structural modernization: the home was moved onto a new foundation in the mid 1980s, at which time new electrical and plumbing were installed. Outside, the tranquil south backyard offers a large deck and patio surrounded by majestic mature trees—an idyllic setting for outdoor relax ation. Parking is effortless with the double attached garage complete with workshop. This prime Bankview location provides easy access to parks, the Bankview Community Centre, the Calgary Tennis Club, vibrant 17th Avenue shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, public transit, and offers a short commute to the downtown core.
