A RARE OPPORTUNITY! This exceptionally well-maintained home is ready for a new family looking to add their own style while building some serious sweat equity — or for an investor/renovator who recognizes the potential! The important things have been well cared for; what’s needed here is primarily cosmetic updating, and at this price, there’s plenty of room to make it your own. Outside, you’ll find a DOUBLE FRONT ATTACHED GARAGE and a MASSIVE SOUTH-FACING BACKYARD w/loads of room for the kids to play and an amazing setting for summer BBQs and backyard fun. Better yet, there’s very little to worry about on the exterior — the paint is in excellent condition, the roof was replaced in 2016 with 35-year shingles, Gienow windows were installed in 2013 (with the exception of the dining room & main floor bedrm), the hot water tank was replaced in 2020 and a new garage door was installed in 2018. This classic 2-storey offers 1,650 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms — 3 upstairs and 1 on the main floor. The current owners combined bedrooms 2 & 3 to create one large bedroom, but will restore the space back to two separate bedrooms at their cost if the new owners prefer the original 3-bedroom-up configuration. The L-shaped living/dining room features large windows that fill the space with natural light and offers plenty of room for family gatherings and holiday dinners. The kitchen provides an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, a pantry and a beautiful herb window overlooking the sunny backyard. The family room is generously sized and features a wet bar, wood-burning fireplace with gas assist and patio doors leading to the backyard patio. Downstairs, the developed lower level offers a HUGE rec room complete with a 5' x 10' pool table, plus a den/office/hobby area currently featuring a dry sauna and shower. There is tremendous potential here to update at your own pace, add your personal touches and build equity along the way! ABOUT DEER RUN... One of south Calgary’s best-kept secrets! Tucked alongside Fish Creek Provincial Park, this established, family-friendly community puts an incredible amount of recreation right at your doorstep — Sikome Lake, the Bow River and its renowned fly fishing, Hull’s Wood, The Ranche and Annie’s Cafe. Deer Run Elementary is just a stone’s throw away, allowing the kids to walk to school and grow up playing with the same friends they see in the classroom. Soccer fields, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds and walking paths are all nearby, with junior high just up the road in Deer Ridge. The active Deer Run Community Association offers year-round programming, before & after school care, squash courts, a skate park, winter ice rink and more. Best of all, this is still the kind of neighborhood where people go for an evening walk and say hello to their neighbors. With numerous entrances into Fish Creek Park, you can head out for an incredible nature walk and make a quick stop at Annie’s for an ice cream cone or some fresh-baked goodies on the way h
