Time to get schooled on Bowness! Bowness has been "in transition" for over 25 years, but now everything is accelerating with new development everywhere you look. As old properties are taken off lots and redevelopment of the lots occurs, the whole district gets a boost in value! The time is finally right to buy in Bowness, before the value of the area is fully appreciated and realized, and prices take a big hike!
Just look at the fantastic location of this excellent single detached home, just one block back from the main Bowness "High Street" – walk to all the great restaurants, cafe’s, pubs and shops: Salt & Pepper Mexican Restaurant, Bow Cycle – the best bicycle store in the City, and only a few blocks further brings you to the banks of the Bow River(no flooding on this lot), with all its excellent parks: Bowness Park, Baker Park, Bowmont Park, Shouldice Park with all its new sports facilities – including a new inflatable bubble under construction and the list goes on!
This excellent bungalow is on a full 50 x 120 ft lot, has a full basement – 95% developed, and has the most fantastic oversized double detached garage, 25′ 5" x 23 ‘ 5", fully insulated, with electrical panel and gas heater – it would cost you over $45,000 today to build this garage – tons of room for all your special cars and toys!!!
There is a total of 4 bedrooms, 3 on the main level and one in the almost completed basement – just finish the ceiling in the 3-piece bathroom!
The main floor has a renovated kitchen & 4-piece family bathroom, high-quality wood laminate flooring throughout, newer windows, newer wood trim, baseboards and doors! Downstairs is developed with a large recreation/games room, a 3-piece bathroom, a huge 4th bedroom and a very generous laundry/utility room. The home’s roof and furnace have been upgraded too!
Outside the home is surrounded by great landscaping, with plant beds, trees & shrubs, a garden shed and much of the landscape laid to lawn for easy care! The front of the home faces NE which provides for a very sunny SW rear yard that is easily taken advantage of by the huge deck – bbq here and open a cold one! The front of the home has a second, smaller, but raised deck outside the front door.
When you look up and down the drive you see development going on everywhere, some of it within half a block of this home. Across the street and a few homes down is an excellent church with community vegetable garden collective, and adjoining day-care, while going west along the street is a tot lot for your little ones. Bottom line for you smart buyers is you are buying more than a location, but into a real community – just like in the past when Bowness was a village, and not part of Calgary! Hurry, this is the community to make your home, while it is still affordable!!!
