Live in the heart of Sunnyside- this character bungalow offers the opportunity to embrace one of Calgary's most walkable inner-city lifestyles, where independent cafés, restaurants, green spaces, river pathways and downtown are all close to home. Behind its traditional gabled roofline, this detached home offers 764 sq. ft. on the main floor, plus an enclosed front porch, and a partially finished basement providing an additional 619 sq.ft. of living space.
Recently painted and professionally cleaned, this character home is ready to welcome its next owners. Entering the property, the enclosed porch provides a practical spot for coats and shoes before you step into the open living and dining area, rich in period character. Hardwood floors, original doors, decorative floor vents, and a Victorian-style fireplace reflect the home's historic charm. The living and dining spaces flow together and benefit from a skylight bringing in addtional natural light, with the adjoining kitchen featuring classic wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop, countertop oven, practical peninsula with counter seating and sliding patio doors to the rear deck, complete with a gas line for a BBQ.
The extended primary bedroom is a highlight. Its generous footprint and window-lined alcove capture views toward downtown Calgary, with room to create a home office, sitting area or reading nook. The second bedroom benefits from a walk-in closet. In the main bathroom, a clawfoot tub, vintage-style fixtures, pedestal sink and rich stained-wood trim celebrate the home's heritage appeal.
A winding hardwood staircase with traditional winder steps leads to the partially finished basement. The interconnected areas designated as a family room, recreation room and flex space, provide options for extra living space. With three windows, white walls and ceilings, the space is bright and just awaiting your own finishing touches. A second bathroom with a shower enclosure and adjacent open sink area, plus laundry, provides convenience. And a storage closet, cold storage closet, and mechnical room complete the basement space.
Important improvements include a new 100-amp electrical panel, newer roof and windows, and R60 attic insulation. **** Outside, enjoy the benefit of your own backyard, complete with a lawn, raised garden beds, and deck. Whether gardening or relaxing outdoors there's plenty of potential to make this space your own. A single detached garage adds everyday convenience.
And the location? Sunnyside C-Train Station and Sunnyside School are just one block away; McHugh Bluff and its off-leash dog park are two blocks away; and Kensington's 10th Street shops and restaurants, Riley Park and the Peace Bridge are three blocks away. Walk for coffee, cycle along the Bow River or head downtown without relying on your car.
