*OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY MAY 24, 1:00-3:00pm* Welcome to Thorncliffe! Finally something other than the same old bungalows; A refreshingly different fully-finished, 5-bedroom split level home backing onto a quiet green belt, offering an oasis of a backyard & all with a huge oversized garage & driveway! Located on historic Simons Road, one of the oldest roads from Calgary’s earliest days, this home & property must be seen in person to be appreciated & will be a real treat for anyone who loves the sun & enjoying the outdoors but also ideal for any mechanics or hobbyists alike.

Your gaze will be drawn upwards by the high vaulted ceilings, not only pleasing to the eye, but offering that liberating feeling of open space. Follow the gorgeous original 3/4” oak floors & next you’ll find a dining area located beside the kitchen, which bathes in natural light thanks to the huge skylights recently installed above. Just a few steps further through the double-doors, & you’re welcomed into the 4-season SUN ROOM! This wonderful room offers 200 sq/ft of space to bask in sunlight throughout the year & an immersive escape that few homes can rival. Another fireplace is found in this room to add heat during the cold seasons, & a back door provides easy access to the backyard, deck & Hot tub. The upper & lower levels offer a stacked 2+2 bedroom layout, with the upper two being larger than below & the option of using either the cool east or the sunny west bedroom as the primary. An updated 5-pc bathroom finishes this floor & offers dual vanities & more of that pleasing vaulted ceiling. On the lower level, two more bedrooms are found & they share a 3-pc bathroom with heated floors. The basement provides a flex space as an additional living room/rec room & leads to a 5th bedroom (with non-egress window) or storage space as needed. Stepping outside to the sunny & totally private southwest backyard, a large deck awaits with plenty of room for outdoor dinners, with a large hot tub for you to melt your stress away on those cold winter nights. The lower patio is the ultimate place to gather around nightly fires & enjoy Calgary’s legendary summers. Don’t forget the green space behind the house, adding a level of privacy that’s so difficult to find, & the perfect off leash area for any dog owner.
