The addition (2008) features a main floor office space which alternately could be a sitting room for an elderly family member who occupies the substantial bedroom having direct access to a full bath, which, is conveniently located off the oversized attached garage! Did I mention there is also main floor laundry? And central air conditioning? And fresh paint? Another renovation (2018) was the Primary Suite inclusive of a gas fireplace, impressive walk in closet, sitting area with access to the upper west deck, and a full en suite with the option of extra privacy closing off the powder room from the bathing area! Continue on to explore the lower level with a walk up feature to the back yard. This is the family room where movie nights and games and crafting can be engaged in by all. Or, head to the 4th level for a vigorous workout in the gym space or cozy up in the recreation room. Perhaps this is where the theatre life is! Or maybe games tables. Keep in mind those who may slumber in any of the 3 sizeable bedrooms! This level is thoughtfully developed with slab heat for additional comfort! With all the indoor options, lets not forget the outdoors! There is room for animals and forts and play centers and gardens and gazebos and she shacks and man caves and workshops and animal shelters and firepits and gardens and plunge pools and horseshoe pits and volley ball and badminton and, well, I think you know. Have you looked at the map? You are only minutes away from High River and also Okotoks and an easy drive to the South end of Calgary. Up the road is the community riding arena for the equestrian lover plus a BBQ area and playground, walking/bike paths and sledding hill.
