(PRICE DROPPED) There are houses and then there are homes. And then, there is this home. We want you to know how uniquely special this home is—lovingly cared for, lived in, cozy, and as the Dutch like to say…gezellig. It's a home the current owners want to pass to the next owners to love and cherish. Now, let's get the house details out of the way. Situated in the heart of Varsity, 0.5 km from Market Mall and three schools, it is ideal for a growing family. It’s 1.5 km from UCalgary and Bowmont Park is just around the corner. If you can think of a better location in Calgary, we’d like to know. This beautiful bungalow, offers a spacious 1,554 square feet above grade, with a finished basement adding another 1,098 square feet. The home features five bedrooms (three above grade and two below), three full bathrooms, and a large sun-filled solarium perfect for plant lovers. The main level includes a cozy living room with a gas fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen with a large island, and a dining area that opens onto the expansive backyard. Photos of this home do not do it justice. The front is deceptively small because once you enter, it is expansive and engaging, with light filtering in from multiple directions. The sun fills a massive solarium with light from 2 - 6 pm. If you love plants, this is where your green thumb can thrive. Arguably, the pièce de résistance is the backyard. It is a stunning landscape of colour—flowers and trees cultivated over decades. A grand crabapple tree throws millions of pink petals over the garden every May. Peonies, tulips, roses, bearded irises, bluebonnets, daisies, a giant purple clematis, Maltese crosses, German irises, borages, delphiniums, bachelors buttons, and hydrangeas sprinkle themselves over a vast homemade botanical garden. A deck with a pergola and a fire pit complements the entire yard for hours of backyard entertainment. Additional features include a heated single garage, rubber roofing, and energy-efficient cooling equipment. The home is located on a large 6,081 square foot lot, with a fenced backyard providing both privacy and a safe play area for children. We know this home will go fast—but more importantly, we want it to go to the right buyer—someone who will act as its next caretaker.
