WELCOME TO BASHAW! A very stately home, adorned in classic white and sitting under brand new shingles, a very spacious bi-level awaits. Thoughtfully designed to give you the best use of your space, with a large kitchen pulling the main floor together. Lots of counter space, electric cooktop, a built in oven and loads of cabinets make supper time a treat. Spilling over onto a central dining area large enough for most any table, off one side is a bright living room overlooking the neighbourhood and Bruno's Hill out the front bay window. To the back side of the dining area are a set of sliding doors out onto the twenty one foot covered deck! What a spot to have your morning coffee, or watch the evening sun set down behind the trees! Two bedrooms upstairs, with a large master offering an ensuite and two closets, both of which will go probably to your wife. Downstairs is very interesting because it offers a big family room, a big bedroom, and a nice three piece bathroom. However, what makes it very unique is the second furnace and its own separate walk-up entryway. I believe that this was designed to be its own complete living space. It even has a chimney where a wood stove was at one time. Outside, a 26'X26' double detached garage to easily fit cars, toys or be developed into a hobby hole or man cave. A 10'X15' garden shed for added storage and a sharp wood fence complete a very nice property in a dynamite small town. Bashaw offers all the essential amenities and some really exceptional luxuries, like the meat market, gun shop, Buffalo Lake, and an excessive amount of golf courses within a half hour. Beautiful country, this is Alberta, Amen! More detailsListed by Alberta Realty Inc.- DIANE RICHARDSON
