Description
**OPEN HOUSE SAT May 4th, 1-4:30 PM** WOW!! Combining the best of so many features! Located close to the very end of one of the most desirable streets in all Cochrane, this luxury home with over 3300 sq. ft. of developed space has a very attractive sense of arrival. With backing onto miles of walking paths, some of which lead to the Bow River, and expansive natural beauty on the other side of a large ravine, the enjoyment of being outside, greeting the morning sun or enjoying the evening light dancing on the hillside, is not to be understated. The attributes of this exceptional setting are enhanced with great landscaping, appreciated from either the large main deck with its retractable awning, or the wonderful patio and brick walkway off the walkout level. The hot tub (negotiable to sale) is well positioned to enjoy all of this, summer or winter. Naturally one would expect the house to be special too and it does not disappoint! First, there is a sizeable exposed aggregate, covered front porch that doubles as a great place to enjoy evening sun as well as offering protection from the elements for visitors, when needed. Inside, the spacious foyer with its designer maple floors flows through to the open and attractive living space at the rear. This living space provides a perfect interaction of family room centered around a gas fireplace, a large eating space with lots of windows overlooking the deck, yard, and the view, and a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, island, gas cook top, and much more. Moving upstairs, you are greeted by a large central great/bonus room separating the "children's wing" at the front with a double sink 5 piece bath and the master bedroom and en suite across the rear. And such an en suite! The luxurious soaker tub is set into a windowed alcove. Also featured are separate his and hers vanities, a separate commode, a generous shower, and tiled heated floors throughout. A large laundry room with a double-sided linen closet completes the upper level. Moving downstairs you find a comfortable optional space used as a lounge and exercise area, a sizeable spare bedroom, a large 4 piece bath, and lots of organized storage. Central air conditioning, upgraded light fixtures and hardware, Hunter Douglas blinds, and a large, high ceiling, garage with a newer high end garage door round out the features of this very special property.
