74 Lake Christina Close SE

Phenomenally located and absolutely beautiful, this oversized bungalow offers over 2660 sq.ft. of living area, faces a serene, treed playground, and is just blocks to Lake Bonavista, parks, the lake, and schools in all directions. A landscaped front yard frames a patio perfect for watching the kids play across the way, and the front door opens to a bright living room where floor-to-ceiling windows enjoy the same northwest views of the green space. Pristine original hardwood is a timeless classic that works with every décor style and the floorplan flows into the sunny dining area in a fantastic layout for hosting big dinners. An elegant kitchen in white oak is both stylish and inviting, with expansive counter space and tons of light. The island has an eating bar and is uniquely configured to include the stove, making it easy to keep the conversation going while you cook, and your guests relax around the wood fireplace in the adjacent family room. A brick hearth adds a statement aesthetic to the space, and a built-in credenza provides an ideal setup for a TV or dry bar. Down the hall, the primary bedroom is beautifully bright thanks to updated lighting and a window seat that is sure to appeal to the family book lover. A full ensuite finishes your private retreat. Both secondary bedrooms are generous, and the main bath is well laid out for a family, with plenty of counter and cupboard space. Downstairs, the finished basement begins with a large rec area where a gas fireplace is a cozy focal point for movie night, and there is tons of room for office space, games tables, or hobby and play zones. Another bedroom and full bathroom are great for overnight guests or older children, and there is also a den on this level that could easily become your home gym. Plentiful storage and a huge laundry room are desirable elements for keeping a busy household organized. Outside, a big pie lot holds an exposed aggregate patio with a professionally landscaped perennial garden tucked between the house and the double-detached garage. A large lawn is edged in foliage for a setting kids and pets will love playing in. The angle of the garage off the alley offers extra off-street parking and makes loading up the RV for camping a breeze. This neighbourhood is one of Calgary’s best, and this block in particular is wonderfully secluded. This close loops around a park and playground which adds to the sense of community. A Half-block east from the back gate you can walk to the local dog park, and there are schools in three blocks to the north, west, and south. The Promenade at Lake Bonavista is also within walking distance, giving you amazing access to the local shops, homeowners association amenities, and the lake itself. A short drive connects you with the rest of the city via Anderson Road and Deerfoot Trail, while foodies and commuters will love the proximity to Macleod Trail. Call today.
