Beautiful design and stunning views will have you falling in love at first sight in this stunning Royal Oak estate villa. Set across from a playground, the block is quiet and friendly. Inside, the main floor opens up toward the back of the house, flooding the open layout with natural light. Pristine cherry hardwood sets a tone of comfortable elegance echoed in the kitchen, where plentiful cabinetry matches the warm aesthetic. Granite counters are a stylish selection, and upgrades include a French door refrigerator. The spacious floorplan includes a full pantry, and an eat-up island overlooking the living room is perfect for entertaining. A gas fireplace is a cozy focal point sure to encourage guests to sit down and stay a while. The adjacent dining area offers balcony access, so you can open the door to fresh air and sweeping views of the green space and pathways. Off the hall, you will find the entrance to the double attached garage and a half bathroom with a laundry area to complete this level. Upstairs, the primary retreat enjoys a quiet setting and lovely scenery from the expansive bedroom, which includes a large sitting area. A walk-in closet is a desirable feature and the ensuite is gorgeous, with an extended vanity, an upgraded frameless glass shower, and a separate soaker tub. Two more generous bedrooms on this storey provide room for children, guests, or home office space, and the main bathroom is beautifully appointed. Downstairs, a walkout basement is a coveted element, and has been fully developed with luxury vinyl plank floors in the rec area and another full bathroom. The design incorporated a future fourth bedroom, with a closet and outlets in place – you could easily place a wall bed for studio-style, or add walls for a permanent guestroom. Step outside, where the scenic panorama feels like it’s just for you, framed by your private covered patio. The Royal View Estates complex is peaceful and well-managed. Pets are welcome by application, and visitor parking is convenient as well, right next to the playground. Take a walk along the extensive pathway system that winds throughout the community’s parks and ravines; the entrance is only one house over. At the other end of the block, sports fields and community gardens offer options for outdoor enjoyment. Nearby, area schools are in walking distance, and the community centre holds additional recreation options. The Royal Oak Centre is a short drive up the road, with a huge array of shops, restaurants, and services. Or head to the Rocky Ridge YMCA for the gym, pool, or fitness classes. Family adventures are also close to home - the kids or grandkids will adore the animals at Butterfield Acres. Proximity to Crowchild and Stoney Trails also provides easy access to the rest of Calgary, and the location at the northwest corner of the city means you can also be the first one out into the mountains for camping, hiking, biking, or snow sports.

I have listed a new property at 519 Point Mckay GROVE NW in Calgary. See details here

Secluded and just steps to the river, this beautiful Point McKay townhome is bright, welcoming, and elegant. A covered front porch opens to a large entryway shared with the single-attached garage, and right away warm tones in the engineered hardwood create an inviting feel. On the main level, a sunny living room features high ceilings and tons of natural light. A wood-burning fireplace is the epitome of coziness; you’ll want to curl up with a movie or a good book, while sliding glass doors invite you to relax on the patio and watch the sun set. Wall cutouts create a dynamic visual and allow light to flow up into the dining room, where you can easily host a large dinner party. In the kitchen, a simple yet stylish aesthetic brings the best of cottage-inspired design - butcher’s block, subway tile backsplashes, and crisp white cabinetry - and pairs it with sleek quartz counters and modern stainless appliances, including a range with double ovens and an induction cooktop, as well as a new dishwasher. Bay windows in the breakfast nook beg you to pause and sip your morning coffee with the sunrise, and there is a full pantry as well as unique built-in spice cabinets. A powder room on this level is an added convenience. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is peaceful, offering a sitting area and big windows. Walkthrough closets, complete with custom shelving, lead to the main bathroom via Jack and Jill ensuite access. The second bedroom is also generous, and this storey includes a bonus area at the top of the stairs perfect for your home office. In the basement, the finished section could easily hold your gym equipment; cork flooring is the perfect base for a workout zone. The utility room has a laundry area that includes a sink and shelving, and there is plenty of space on this floor to store your seasonal items. A new electrical panel is a functional upgrade, and the plugs and light switches have been updated as well. The furnace and hot water tank are also both newer. Outside, a stunning patio edged with garden beds is your personal oasis. Pets welcome on approval. Mature trees frame the gate, which opens to a green space and walking paths. A few steps take you to the Bow River Pathway, which runs throughout the city with parks, playgrounds, and scenic viewpoints. Connected to downtown, it’s also a favourite route for cycle commuters, and from here it takes about the same amount of time as the short drive by car. Nearby, local favourite eateries like the Lazy Loaf and Kettle and LICS Ice Cream are in walking distance, and the trendy restaurant district of Kensington is a few minutes away by car. Proximity to both Foothills and the Children’s Hospital make this area popular with those in the medical field, and the University of Calgary is also just up the street. Mountain adventurers will also love that you can be headed west past the city limits in under 10 minutes. See this one today!
