2703 Carleton Street SW Calgary, AB T2T3L1

Great family home in the heart of old Mount Royal. The back-yard is absolutely stunning and could be the "yard of the year". The lot pies out to 75' at the rear (the widest lot on this block of Carleton/Montcalm) and offers a sunny and private west exposure. A massive, top-to-bottom renovation and rebuild was completed in 2001 by Fred Barham Contracting Ltd and Richard Lindseth Architecture. The house was gutted down to the studs, the layout was modified, all cosmetic features were replaced including kitchen and baths, and all new infrastructure was installed (electrical, plumbing, HVAC and all windows by Calgary Sash + Door). The result is wonderful blend of period character together with modern conveniences and amenities. Open plan across the rear of the home with a fantastic indoor-outdoor connection. 11' ceilings and huge south and west windows flood the family room with sunlight. A breakfast nook with built-in seating overlooks the yard. Character-kitchen with island, built-in pantry with pull-outs and great workspace. The principal rooms include a separate living room with fireplace, an adjacent den/office/studio plus a formal dining room next to the kitchen. The primary suite is outstanding with a bright and private bedroom with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet also with vaulted ceiling and sliding-ladder, and a spa-like ensuite with double vanity, granite-clad shower with bench, soaking tub and separate water-closet. 2 other bedrooms, a house bath and laundry complete the upper level. Lower level has a versatile mud-room with access from the side yard and garage, a recreation room, bedroom, full bath and storage. Convenient double attached garage. The yard is secure and fully fenced with no rear alley. A large stone terrace holds a built-in BBQ. Recent updates include: roof in 2017 (40 year shingles) and fiber-optic cable in 2021. Great value and priced to reflect that buyers will likely want to do some cosmetic updates such as paint. Don't miss this one!
