515 Montana Bay SE

Let's address the elephant in the room right away... if you're looking at the map and thinking, "Doesn't this back onto a busy road?" The answer is absolutely not! Since the new access road opened, traffic has dropped dramatically, making this one of the quietest and most peaceful spots to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the exceptional pond views. And speaking of those views... wow. Wake up every morning to the sun glistening across the water from your primary bedroom, then head out to the south-facing deck where the power awning lets you enjoy the sunshine without roasting in it. It's the kind of backyard that makes you slow down and stay awhile. Built just five years ago and kept in absolutely pristine condition, this isn't a downsizing compromise. It's a downsizing upgrade. The layout is fantastic, with over 1,200 square feet on the main floor, soaring vaulted ceilings, an incredible amount of kitchen cabinetry, loads of storage throughout, main floor laundry and a gorgeous primary suite complete with double sinks, quartz counters, a soaker tub and separate shower. Central air conditioning and a water softener are already in place, so you can simply move in and enjoy. The corner lot gives you more privacy than most attached homes, plus just enough extra yard for the grandkids to run around or for Fido to stretch his legs without signing yourself up for endless yard work. Need more space down the road? The basement is ready when you are, with 9-foot ceilings, oversized windows and a bathroom rough-in that make future development easy and bright. And then there's the location. You're minutes from shopping, walking paths, restaurants and everyday amenities, with quick and convenient access out of town when adventure calls. Finding a villa-style bungalow in High River is easy. Finding one with a pond view, a sunny south backyard, exceptional privacy, a nearly new feel and a layout this good? That's a whole different story. This is the one you'll compare every other home to.
