From the moment you arrive, the eye catching red door sets the tone. Inside you'll find a sun filled upgraded home that perfectly balances comfort, style and functionality. This home is larger than many recent Acadia listings at over 2700 square feet over both levels! The home offers a bright main level with a stunning new granite island, bar fridge, new lighting, wood-burning fireplace, and double sliders to a sunny west-facing backyard where mature trees and perennials thrive. The large west facing backyard is a gardener’s dream. The primary retreat features a bay window, large walk-in closet, and your very own spa-inspired room and ensuite to relax after a long day. Two large additional bedrooms and a guest bathroom finish this level. Downstairs, the fully developed walkout basement offers a bright and spacious two-bedroom illegal suite with large windows that make the space feel open and inviting — not like a typical lower level.

Located within walking distance to the Italian Centre, numerous parks, schools, the dog park, Acadia Pool, recreation facilities, tennis courts, and with quick access to Deerfoot Meadows, this location blends community charm with everyday convenience. Enjoy today while planning for tomorrow - the l ot size and open laneway provide excellent potential for future expansion or added income opportunities such as secondary suites (subject to approval). Commuting is effortless with nearby transit with a direct route downtown a short walk from your home. This is a rare opportunity to own a larger, upgraded home with income potential in a community where smaller properties dominate the current market. All that’s left to do is step through the red door and make it yours. (id:58180)
