Welcome to the season’s finest oasis of urban living. Homes like these are few and far between!

The original owners have worked over the years to make this home consistent with their ideas of gracious living and entertaining, inviting in maximal sunlight so that it brings the outside into both in the front and back of the home. Clean modern lines are featured throughout. The owners were drawn to this home for its multi-neighbor, family-friendly cul-de-sac location. It occupies a pie lot which is one of the largest, professionally landscaped private yards in the neighborhood, and also features extensive hardscaping with a stone patio and walkways.

Over the years, this was THE neighborhood playground . . . mature trees have replaced what were once sandboxes, forts, swing sets, still leaving ample room for bocce tournaments! The oversized cedar deck is the perfect place to entertain and enjoy the garden views, birds chirping and the comings and goings of the neighborhood squirrels along the fence line! With flowers blossoming from Spring to Fall, this yard has hosted cul-de-sac BBQ’s, gatherings for the kids and their friends from elementary school through their university years, intimate evenings with friends and family, and even corporate functions.

Inside you will find a main floor with just over 1800 sq. ft. of fully finished living space that has been renovated “to the nines.” No expense was spared in quality of craftsmanship, design, or materials. Intended for long term use, the owners’ desire to maintain clean modern lines is evident throughout. The family room affords a magnificent view. With two walls of glass (complete with elegant transom toppers and Pella windows with integrated no fuss blinds), one sees the back yard vista in all seasons, and in complete privacy. There is rarely ever a need to close the blinds.

Located in the centre of this home, the kitchen has features galore while affording glorious views of the gardens via the family room. Be sure to discover the ‘hidden corner’ for storage of pots and pans. The design was inspired by a magazine spread and brought to life by Heart Kitchens. Colours, materials, design and functionality integrate elegantly with high end stainless steel appliances!

With large open rooms, this home enjoys the benefits of a front living room, formal dining room, sunken family room, central kitchen, THREE bedrooms, with a fully remodeled ensuite and main bath that rival a hotel spa level of finishing. Basement is fully finished with a three piece bath, a bedroom, and several flex rooms – an office/den, hobby area, play space for kids, and ample storage.

Notable interior features include:
• central air conditioning and medium efficiency furnace
• oversized custom windows
• built in security system (ADT)
• TV and entertainment system built into a slate wall with an integrated gas fireplace
• fully remodeled kitchen, main floor bath and ensuite,
• extensive use of honed slate
• upgraded flooring, plumbing, and electrical fixtures,

Unique exterior features include:
• Hardie Board siding, sofits and fascia, with extensive natural rock accents
• front patio, entry steps and walkways finished with paving stone
• beautifully landscaped and curbed yard
• fully automated in-ground irrigation system
• large insulated 2-car garage with new pad and driveway
• private front terrace which is lovely in the late afternoon and evening when the radiant heat is released from the Rundle Rock surround

Come and experience why this home is the last you will need to see. Truly a one of a kind! Easy elegant living at its finest . . .

Welcome to the Season’s BEST VIEW in The Grange!!

www.1985GarnettWay.com

Welcome to the season’s BEST view property in The Grange! My ORIGINAL OWNERS cared enough about my view to UPGRADE all south WINDOWS larger to take in the scenic views of the park and its walkways. My owners also took great pride in all of the landscaping front and back to compliment the views. The most popular spot in the house has to be the 3sided window enclave for the dining area. Who won’t like to dine with a view??

My owners have young family and thought it practical to have laminate flooring throughout the main floor. Since my owners liked to cook they invested in an upgraded kitchen appliance and cabinet package – giving them the look and practicality of a chef’s kitchen. Artistic niches, crown molding detail and stylish window coverings give this home the polished look. The family also enjoys the use of the BONUS ROOM – which is cozy enough to use as a den or media space. The master bdrm faces the park and the tub from the ensuite has one of the best park views! The lower level is the space for entertaining and watching the game. There is even space for the baby grand to serenade your guests as they pull up to the bar for a martini and watch all the sports action from two built in TV bar monitors. Natural light pervades the lower level – again through the oversized windows. The garage is oversized and drywalled. And did we mention that this home shows like new> the upstairs carpets are still crunchy!  No pets, no smoke home. Best location and condition on the block just waiting for a new family to fill my rooms with laughter and timeless memories!

Looking ahead these Real Estate trends will be here for a while. Find out what types of Real Estate investing is on the forefront of buyer’s minds and pocket books!

1. Housing recovery: unlikely, however cautious optimism remains. A few more foreclosures have yet to flush through the market(s).

2. Mc Mansions are out: compact housing is it. Baby boomers are downsizing to more manageable homes. Generation “x” is interested in vibrant, walkable neighborhoods, smaller compact homes. smaller homes with more pizazz..

3. Home buyers are thinking long term: 1st time home buyers are now thinking a decade in advance. Repeat buyers 15 years in advance. Homeowners are simply planning on staying longer.

4. Prices still have further to drop:  Increase in foreclosures. The 500,000 plus market (larger older homes)and conditionally and location challenged unsold properties will still need to adjust price or condition or both in order to sell. Price competitively or price it to compel a buyer to choose your property over the gazillion other choices they may have.

5. More foreclosure to come: still shaking out the over bought/over extended home owners from the boom of 2005-07. Some home owners that bought in 2005-07 are now needing to sell/move for one reason or another. Some can’t afford to move because their mortgages are worth more than what the market will bear for their home and that leads to more foreclosures.

6. Mortgage rates to remain low: Long term rates will begin to rise mid to late 2012. Rates will eventually have to go up in order for governments to begin to recover their own debt loads.

7. Mortgage Rules/Standards taking on new shape: Shorter amortization periods: no more 50 year mortgages, now down to 25 year mortgages as the norm. Increase minimum downs: more and more lenders are tightening their purse strings and will be requiring more money for down payments in order to secure financing. Longer probation periods: stricter qualifying standards over all, especially the self- employed.

8. New Construction concerns: lower new construction starts in this market could lead to a housing shortage in the future.

9. Investor opportunity: CASH investors will rock especially for bank /foreclosure sales.

10. Housing recovery dependent on employment rate: housing recovery maybe delayed due to in part of current employment rate.

Although not written in stone the above Real Estate Trends for 2013 are a guideline as to the direction the market is headed. Smaller homes, tighter financing regulations, and a few more foreclosures to get through are all what we can generally expect to see in the near future. But always remember: a good home well located, presented and priced will sell in any market!

Happy Investing!
