Built in 1960, this 1,040 square foot bungalow is situated on a 60 ft x 115 ft lot in the community of Westgate. The main level includes 3 bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a 4-piece bathroom. The basement contains an illegal suite developed in the 1980s, with a kitchen, living room, 4-piece bathroom, and 3 bedrooms. The suite has a separate rear entrance, while the main floor has a separate front entrance, with access between levels via a door and staircase. The roof was re-shingled in 2018, and new eavestroughs were installed at the same time. A paved driveway on the north side of the property accommodates two vehicles, with additional street parking in front. Located minutes from major roadways such as 17th avenue, Bow Trail, Stoney Trail, Sarcee Trail, Glenmore Trail, and the TransCanada highway, getting from A to B couldn’t be easier. A typical commute downtown by car is 15 minutes, and a 10 minute walk to the LRT station at 45th street and a 15 minute commute on the LRT. For those who like to bike, it takes about 30 minutes to get downtown. For students, Westgate Elementary School is a 10 minute walk from the house, while Vincent Massey Jr. High and St. Michael K-9 school are 5 minutes by bike.
