51 Cranleigh Gardens SE

Step inside and the first thing you notice is the light. Brazilian cherry hardwood catches the sun through oversized windows, 9-foot ceilings lift the main floor, and the open-concept kitchen-and-living run pulls you straight through to an elevated deck and a back garden the sellers have spent two decades building. Welcome to 51 Cranleigh Gardens — a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath bungalow with just under 2,900 sq ft of developed living space, set on a 6,675 sq ft pie lot a half-block from the Cranston ridge pathway and the trails down to the Bow River and Fish Creek. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2020 — new granite, new backsplash, Bosch appliances, a massive working island, and a corner pantry that actually holds a family's groceries. The adjacent eating area opens into a living room anchored by a gas fireplace and walks out to the deck; two steps down puts you on a custom stone patio surrounded by perennial gardens, a productive apple tree, and a vegetable plot already in play. The pie shape leaves real room for a future RV pad and a sizeable shed at the back. The primary suite sits on the main floor — big enough for a king, quiet, with a walk-in closet and a 2020-renovated 5-piece ensuite (dual vanity, jetted tub). A second main-floor bedroom works as a home office or den. Laundry, a 2-piece powder room, and the entry from the attached double garage (new door, 2025) all sit off a tiled landing. Downstairs adds another 1,266 sq ft: a large rec room with a new floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace (2024) and a wet bar, a sunny third bedroom, and a fourth room with closet and window that functions as a full bedroom or flex space. The Jack-and-Jill 4-piece bath between them holds the home's quiet showpiece — a custom Finnish cedar wet sauna, the kind you actually use on a Calgary winter night. Built by Baywest Homes in 2002. Roof 2020. Stucco maintained annually. Full repaint, 2025. Cranston Ridge pathway, the Bow River, schools, and the Cranston and Seton amenities are all within walking or short driving distance — mountain views from the ridge are a five-minute walk from the front door.
