General overview
A great family home on an amazing street in a kid friendly inner-city neighborhood. We did a total renovation of the main floor and partial reno upstairs. Main floor is open concept with vaulted ceiling (11ft), large island and oversized dining table and cozy living room with gas fireplace. 3 bedrooms up or can be used as 2 bedrooms and an office. We have a queen bed, 2 twin beds, a crib and a portable crib. There is a full bathroom upstairs with a second bathroom and shower downstairs. The basement has not been renovated but has lots of character. Downstairs is a good sized living room with a treadmill and home gym and a curtain to divide or connect these spaces as needed. We have lots of kid toys that can be available, on request.
Our fully backyard will surprise you! It’s a good size with lots of different zones: a large ground-level deck, an art studio, a covered outdoor couch/living space, and a gazebo by a pond with a fountain. Tons of trees make the backyard a private oasis in spring/summer time.
Our neighborhood is very family friendly and only 12 minute drive to downtown. Within 2 blocks there are: 3 playgrounds; an outdoor swimming pool, basketball courts, baseball/soccer fields. Great neighbors all around. They will welcome you and make you feel like home and can help find all the local gems! Our next-door neighbor is a massage therapist with a spa-like studio in her basement. Other highlights of our location:
12 minutes to the airport
easy access to both major highways (Trans Canada going to Banff; and Hwy #2 going north south)
3 off-leash dog parks within 5 minute drive
2 disc golf courses within 5 minute drive
Shopping: 15 minutes to 2 of Calgary's bigger malls (Market Mall and Sunridge Mall)
Great variety of takeout food at strip malls within walking distance
Dog groomers, vet and 24 hr animal hospital within 2 minutes

My wife is an interior designer turned artist. I'm a financial advisor. We both have the ability to work remotely so want a little adventure before our kids are in school. We have a 3 yr old and a 3 month old.
