3603 Canyon Road, Athabasca

Acreage living with a town address is a rare find! This 2.15 acre property sits tucked into the trees off Canyon Road, with town water and the kind of privacy you'd usually have to drive out of town for. The layout is what sets it apart. There's one bedroom on the main and three on the walkout lower level, and past owners have used that space in different ways. Some kept the main floor bedroom as the primary, with the kids downstairs and the biggest lower bedroom turned into a family room. Others made the main floor bedroom a home office and kept all three bedrooms down below. Four bedrooms, three bedrooms and a family room, or a work-from-home setup. You decide what fits your family now, and you can change it later. The kitchen is the heart of the main floor. Warm wood cabinets, a stacked stone backsplash, stainless appliances and a big island where everyone ends up gathering while dinner's on the stove. It opens to the dining and living area, with hardwood running through the whole main floor and windows that look straight into the trees. Two bathrooms make busy mornings easier. One has a large stand-up shower for quick weekday routines, and the other has a big soaker tub for when you finally get a quiet evening. From the dining room, step out to the enclosed front deck, tucked under the roofline and looking straight into the trees. It’s a spot you’ll actually use in spring and fall. Out back, a long covered deck runs the length of the house under a warm wood plank ceiling, with plenty of room for a big patio table and a dry place to entertain, rain or shine. Add the open side deck with stairs to the yard and a lower deck off the walkout, and there’s an outdoor spot for every time of day. Lots of outdoor space, and lots of privacy. The yard is ringed with mature spruce and has room for the kids to run. A double detached garage handles the vehicles, the toys and the tools. If you've wanted space and quiet but don't want to haul water or drive gravel roads every day, come see this one.
