About this home

Rare opportunity awaits on this massive 50' x 385' lot backing onto the serene East Bowness Park Lagoon. Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic street, this oversized property offers an incredible combination of inner-city convenience and secluded parkland tranquility. The unique topography features a commanding elevation at the front, providing a stately build site that overlooks the sprawling, private backyard as it moves toward the water. This is a clear, ready-to-build canvas with no demolition required, offering ample room for a custom home, oversize garage, and a deep outdoor oasis.Life here is a four-season experience. Enjoy the peaceful, treed backdrop of the lagoon in the summer and your own skating rink in the winter, a luxury shared with only five neighboring families. Just steps away from the extensive pathway network connecting you to Bowness Park, Baker Park, Bowmont Park, and the Bowmont Island Off-leash area. Despite the nature-first feel, you remain minutes away from the Foothills Hospital, U of C, downtown, and the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Own one of the most versatile and private park-side parcels in Calgary. (id:65958)
