Homes in Brentwood don’t sit long, and the ones that have already had the big work done sit even shorter. This is one of those. This 1961 bungalow hands you a main floor that was taken back to the studs over the winter of 2016 into 2017. Walls came out, so the front door now opens into one connected space where the living room, kitchen, and dining area all talk to each other. Whoever’s cooking stays in the conversation. The kitchen earns its place at the centre with quartz counters, a proper island, and a pantry that keeps the clutter out of sight. The dining area sits right alongside, ready for a Tuesday dinner or a full table of friends. Head down the hall, past the pantry, and the primary bedroom is on your right behind sliding glass closet doors. The renovated 4-piece main bath is next, and it hides a surprising amount of storage. Two more bedrooms finish the floor, the kind that flex between kids, guests, and a home office without a fight. That’s three bedrooms up, with two more to come. Downstairs is where this house quietly gets interesting. A separate back entrance opens up future suite potential, subject to City of Calgary approval and permits. The basement itself was updated in 2020. On your left, a large laundry and mechanical room comes with a sink and enough cupboards to actually stay organized. It’s also where the boring-but-expensive stuff has been handled: furnace in 2017, hot water tank in 2020, new soffits and gutters in 2021. Past the renovated 3-piece bath, the rec room opens up, with a kitchenette at the far end added in 2021. The convection microwave stays, and there’s room to turn the whole setup into a full kitchen if you want it. Two more good-sized bedrooms round out this level. That’s your five. Back up the stairs and out to the south-facing backyard, which is the kind of space that makes you want to host. A gazebo stays with the home, custom cushions included, and a separate fire pit area gives you a second reason to linger past sunset. Mature trees wrap the yard, so the privacy is already grown in. The oversized single detached garage is set up as a workshop right now, benches and a window included, and an alley parking pad takes a small trailer or the extra vehicle. Then there’s Brentwood. Schools within walking distance, the LRT and bus routes close by, Market Mall and University District minutes away, and Nose Hill Park right there when you need green space. It’s a location that’s done proving itself. Come see why this one won’t wait around.
