I have sold a property at 2703 Carleton STREET SW in Calgary. See details here
This incredible family home is nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of historic Mount Royal & features all the privacy one could need in an urban setting! Featuring over 4,616 sq. ft of living space on 3 levels with 3+1 bedrooms. A massive, top-to-bottom renovation & rebuild was completed in 2001 by Fred Barham Contracting Ltd & Richard Lindseth Architecture. The house was taken down to the studs, the layout was modified, all cosmetic features were replaced including kitchen & baths, plus all new infrastructure was installed (electrical, plumbing, HVAC & all windows by Calgary Sash & Door). The result is wonderful blend of period character together with modern conveniences and amenities. All the hard work has been done & now awaits your own personal paint/design touches. Open plan across the rear of the home with a fantastic indoor-outdoor connection. 11' ceilings and large south & west windows flood the family room with natural light. The recently painted gourmet kitchen & nook area with custom built-in island, built-in pantry with pull-outs & great workspace. The breakfast nook also with built-in seating overlooks the manicured rear yard. The separate living room with fireplace is the perfect entertaining space for large family gatherings, an adjacent flex room with skylights which could be used as an office space, games or child’s play room plus a formal dining room next to the kitchen. Additionally, there is an updated water closet on the main for guests. Follow the grand staircase to the upper level where you will find 3 generous sized bedrooms including the master suite with vaulted ceiling, built-in window seating, large walk-in closet also with vaulted ceiling & sliding-ladder, plus a spa-like ensuite with double vanity, granite-clad shower with bench, soaking tub & separate water-closet. 2 additional spacious bedrooms each with ample storage space, 4 piece guest bath & laundry complete the upper level. Lower level has a versatile mud-room with direct access to the garage, a recreation room, guest bedroom, 3 piece bath & ample storage including built-in cabinetry, sink and fridge. The private back yard setting is second to none wrapped in large trees for added privacy & showcases a large stone terrace holding a built-in BBQ. The yard is secure and fully fenced with no rear alley. The lot pies out to 75' at the rear (the widest lot on this block of Carleton) and offers a sunny & private south west exposure. Convenient double attached garage, well maintained ac unit & 2 furnaces, water softener, terrasse with gas connection for gas heating, garden shed with new shingles on south side (2023) replicated to look like the home, new sump pump (2023). Recent updates include: shingles in 2017 (40 year shingles) and fiber-optic cable in 2021. Conveniently located within walking distance to excellent schools, trendy Marda Loop & 17th Avenue shopping and dining & minutes to the city’s best walking paths, the Glencoe Club & the core.
