JUST LISTED! $538,500 100 Westwood Drive SW, Calgary, AB Nearly one of a kind property in the popular community of Westgate with R-C2 zoning and a newly legalized 2 bedroom basement suite makes this property a must see. Beautiful renovations up and down. Walking inside it's hard not to notice the beautiful maple stained bulkhead that was added to open up the kitchen and create a huge kitchen island and designer lighting. Loads of designer two tone kitchen cabinets were added,... with gleaming white cabinets plus wood striped accent cabinets. Quartz countertops with a glass top range and powerful stainless steel hood fan and a huge island make this kitchen a chef’s delight. The kitchen island has room for several seats and space for a large dining table beside. The main floor living room features custom built in bookshelves to match the kitchen bulkhead. Sliding patio doors open onto the large two tiered deck out back and beautifully landscaped backyard and garden. The spacious main floor master bedroom features a huge walk in closet and it’s own ensuite with a large walk in shower. Another bedroom, with a renovated full 4 piece bathroom also found on the main. Downstairs you will find the new legal basement suite. Large and bright white kitchen with dining space hardly feels like a basement. Large family room and a flex room with a built in Pax storage unit that is included. A beautiful 4 piece bathroom and 2 bedrooms that each feature large windows with proper egress make this suite an easy property to rent. There are separate furnaces with their own heat controls and a shared laundry room. Built in sprinklers help to keep the basement safe. All mechanicals and the roof were replaced in 2014. Out back you will find the double car garage and a large 2 tiered deck. Mature landscaping has been lovingly manicured with many perennials and an incredible garden for anyone with a green thumb. A storage shed was added along the side of the house and is also included. This home makes for a great rental with the option to live up and rent down. With the R-C2 designation, this lot also has great potential for future redevelopment as well. See more
