In the peaceful community of Valley Ridge awaits a home that brings back the charm of nature and simple joys — like kids playing in the woods or daydreaming in a treehouse. ~ From the moment you step in, you'll notice the rich tigerwood hardwood flooring that spans the main floor, adding warmth and style. ~ The family room is a true standout with its vast windows offering backyard views and a two-story stone fireplace that feels just like a Canmore retreat.~ Next to it, a sunny dining nook is ready for meals or coffee breaks. The kitchen seamlessly blends with the family room's vibe but introduces a fresh, modern touch. Beautiful alder wood cabinets, open shelving, quartz countertops, and an induction stove create a functional space, further enhanced by a new fridge and dishwasher. ~ Nearby, the butler’s pantry effortlessly flows into a shiplap-accented mudroom. Rounding out the main floor is a chic powder room with unique wall details, and throughout, rustic pine doors amplify the home's character. ~ Heading upstairs, the second floor is home to three distinct bedrooms. ~ The primary suite, with its views of the lush yard, boasts a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite with a relaxing corner soaker tub and separate shower. ~ The secondary bedrooms are equally inviting, each with its own unique charm. ~ Step outside, and you're greeted by a tiered deck made of red meranti hardwood — a sturdy and lovely choice for outdoor gatherings. ~ Mature trees envelop the yard, ensuring privacy, and an underground sprinkler system keeps everything green. ~ Kids get a special treat with a treehouse featuring a trap door and balcony, and there's room for a trampoline too. ~ Pet owners will value the side dog run with a door leading to the garage. ~ For those who love a walk in nature, a path from the backyard winds its way to the Bow River. ~ Rainy day? The basement is a haven, with a climbing wall for young adventurers, a cozy workout nook, and a family room with second fireplace is ready for movie nights. ~ Completing this space is a wet bar and an additional bedroom. ~ An added bonus: roof shingles were replaced two years ago. And if you are a golfer - the Valley Ridge Golf Course is a short stroll away! ~ In this Valley Ridge beauty, nature meets comfort, creating an everyday haven.
