A FRONT-ROW SEAT TO NATURE IN THE HEART OF WEST HILLHURST. Across the street, an inviting green space framed by magnificent, towering mature trees sets the scene for a home that feels wonderfully connected to its surroundings. Just two blocks from the Bow River, this distinctive character property offers an increasingly sought-after combination: the beauty of an established neighbourhood, the convenience of inner-city living, and a home thoughtfully updated for today.

Originally built in 1912, this one-and-a-half-storey residence celebrates its heritage while embracing contemporary design. An appealing mix of inviting gathering spaces, natural light, and carefully selected finishes gives the interior a personality all its own.

At the heart of the main floor, a beautifully updated kitchen makes a statement with sleek white cabinetry, a gas range, and eye-catching Vetrazzo recycled glass countertops. A fireside sitting area invites conversation, while separate living and dining spaces offer room to entertain, unwind, or simply enjoy the comforts of home. A dedicated den provides flexibility for working from home, and a convenient powder room incorporates main-floor laundry.

The upper level is filled with character, from the skylit staircase to the bright bedrooms and beautifully renovated bathroom. A private rooftop patio, accessed through the second bedroom, adds an unexpected outdoor escape above the everyday.

Downstairs, a fully developed lower level expands the possibilities with a third bedroom, additional bathroom, abundant storage, and a generous multipurpose space ready for whatever life calls for next.

Beyond its charm, this home has benefited from substantial investment in the details that matter. Triple-pane Pella windows with integrated blinds, a brand new high-efficiency furnace, updated siding, replaced sewer and water service lines, improved drainage and landscaping, and integrated smart-home technology contribute to a home designed for comfortable, modern living.

And then there&#39's the location. Morning walks along the Bow River, afternoons exploring Kensington&#39's independent shops and cafés, nearby schools, beautiful neighbourhood streets, and an easy connection to downtown. All of it just moments from your front door.

A home with history, a setting with soul, and a lifestyle that captures the very best of West Hillhurst.
