70 Riverwood Crescent SE

Set in the heart of peaceful Riverbend, this stunning home features gorgeous updates and is steps from the parks and pathways that make this community such a hidden gem. Attractive stonework on the double attached garage will catch your eye as you pull onto the driveway. A covered front porch welcomes you; inside, an airy open layout immediately makes you feel at home. Rich-toned hardwood floors add a sense of rustic comfort, emphasized in the living area by a wood-burning fireplace. Exposed beams and knockdown ceilings visually enhance the spacious layout, and big windows flood this level with amazing natural light. In the kitchen, upgraded cabinetry includes accent lighting above, while under-mount lighting illuminates your prep area and the statement shiplap backsplashes. Mottled granite counters are a sleek choice that forms an upscale aesthetic paired with stainless appliances, which include a French door refrigerator and a flat top range with double ovens. A breakfast bar overlooks the dining room, where sliding glass doors offer an easy transition to dining on the deck. Off the entry from the heated garage, a laundry area and a powder room complete this level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary, where a stone feature wall with an electric fireplace begs you to relax. The cleverly designed ensuite has couples in mind, with an anteroom holding the sink and an extensive walk-in closet, followed by a separate wash closet for the tub, shower, and toilet. Two more bedrooms on this storey are generous in size, and share a beautifully-appointed main bathroom. Downstairs, a rec area has room for your home theatre, a kids' play area, or both! An office is perfect for your work-from-home setup and could easily double as a guest room. There’s another bathroom on this floor, plus a cold room and tons of storage space in the plentiful closets and the utility room. Outside, the south-facing yard is a private oasis. Entertain as you grill, and watch kids or pets play on the lawn. Mature trees provide lovely dappled shade, and brick garden beds will call to the family green thumb. Gather around the fire in the evening for memories that last a lifetime. The alley behind is wide enough to pull a car or the RV along the fence without blocking traffic; a great perk when you want to pack up for summer adventures. This area is one of the most family friendly areas in Calgary. There is a playground at the end of the street, and the river pathway starts just a few blocks away. Area schools are within walking distance, as is the community association, which puts on events and markets throughout the year. The Riverbend Centre is just up the road with a range of amenities, and nearby Quarry Park also offers a selection of shopping and dining options. This area is well-connected to the rest of the city, with Deerfoot and Glenmore Trails in close proximity, and you can commute downtown in under 20 minutes. This one checks all the boxes.
