Escape the ordinary and embrace an extraordinary lifestyle in one of Calgary’s most desirable communities, Acadia. Known for its mature tree-lined streets, exceptional schools, and unbeatable access to downtown, the mountains, and beyond. And within this beloved enclave, a RARE GEM awaits - a 3-bedroom home with over 2,100 SQFT of developed living space that transcends expectations, delivering the warmth and tranquility of a MOUNTAIN RETREAT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. From the moment you arrive, the thoughtful craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail set this home apart. Exposed aggregate walkways, sloped rooflines, cedar accents, and cultured slate stone create an inviting presence, hinting at the exceptional quality within. The starburst-patterned tiled front steps welcome you into an atmosphere where natural materials evoke story book charm and warmth. Step inside to the expansive living room with soaring vaulted ceilings with rich wood beams, light cascading through expansive picture windows, and a one-of-a-kind 5” wide plank hardwood floor repurposed from a 1920s grain elevator. The kitchen is a masterpiece with stainless steel appliances, custom hickory cabinetry, 2” edge granite countertops, and a beautiful built-in granite table, all with clever under-counter storage. This space flows seamlessly into a lovely dining nook for more formal gatherings. A striking 6’ high kitchen window floods the space with natural light. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms are designed with comfort, featuring solid-core doors for added privacy. The primary retreat with a large closet looks onto the backyard oasis and enjoys the convenience of a 2 pc. ensuite. The family room invites you to cozy up by the gas fireplace for movie night, while an adjacent office nook and spa-style bathroom blends productivity and relaxation. The fourth level features a flexible space ideal for a games room & home gym, and is complemented by a hobby room/home office with built-in desk. This level is complete with a utility area with laundry (new washer & dryer), 2nd fridge, central vac, and storage lockers. Outside, the backyard unfolds into a lush canopy of mature trees, creeping thyme, roses, and perennials - a true escape from the city. Enjoy a fully fenced yard with three distinct seating areas: a wood deck perfect for barbecues, a brick patio surrounding a fire pit, and a Rundle rock retreat nestled among birdbaths and a rock pond to enjoy Calgary’s long summer evenings. Superior functionality including a heated, insulated double garage (a paved alley, storage and a workbench), a boiler heating system, two 40-gallon hot water heaters, and security system.
