Varsity Calgary T3B 2W5

This extraordinary pie-shaped lot backing onto a golf course offers stunning views, privacy, & the rare opportunity to own in the sought-after community of Varsity Estates. All the perks of city living are at your door, yet there’s a feeling you’re in the countryside, immersed in nature. The subtle curb appeal of this four-bedroom estate home is inviting. Inside, a substantial renovation enhanced the 6200 sq ft of total developed living space. The upgrades are of the highest quality as modern appeal merges w/ character pieces & features from the original architecture. Porcelain tiles radiate in-floor heating in the foyer next to the stately office w/ original built-in cabinetry. The living & dining rooms feature a character stone wood-burning fireplace, site-finished hardwood, & two elegant refurbished original Swarovski crystal chandeliers. An abundance of views of the manicured green space through triple-paned windows tease your senses on the West side of the home. It is the perfect setting for the meticulously designed kitchen w/ custom millwork two-toned cabinets & a large island. High-end appliances adorn the area - Miele induction cooktop w/ pot filler, Miele built-in oven, combi-steam convection oven, warming drawer, dishwasher & a Fischer Paykel refrigerator. The cozy family room has a beverage bar, and a large corner multi-flame fireplace, nearby a two-zoned Thermador Wine Fridge, & powder room. A spacious & functional mudroom, a laundry room, & a full bathroom complete the main level. Greeting you to the second level is an open mezzanine bonus room next to a coffee bar w/ a mini dishwasher.

A wood-burning fireplace crowns an inviting living room w/ an excellent shag carpet, & several flex spaces offer many options for a home gym, games room, or play area. The basement also has a cedar closet, cold room, an extra storage room, a three-piece bathroom, & a tech closet.
