Some homes stand out because of the big things. Others stand out because of the details. This Riverbend two-storey has both, with years of carefully considered updates, custom touches and practical improvements that make the home work exceptionally well for everyday life.That attention to detail starts at the front door. Custom tile work welcomes you into the entry, including a unique compass inlay pointing to true north—a small detail that sets the tone for the rest of the home.There are plenty of practical details here too. The insulated front-attached garage has a side door leading directly to a fenced dog run finished with pea gravel and two gates. Just inside, a practical mudroom includes a Miele washer and dryer alongside an updated powder room.The main floor offers two generous living spaces with hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings and a two-sided wood-burning fireplace connecting the rooms. There is plenty of space to gather when you're entertaining, while still having separate areas for everyday life.The kitchen has been extensively updated over the years with refinished grey-washed white oak cabinetry, refreshed countertops, stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis drinking water and beautiful custom tile work. From here, step onto the covered deck overlooking a peaceful backyard with a water feature, newer fencing, RV parking and plenty of room to enjoy a summer evening or morning coffee.Upstairs, brand-new carpet has just been installed throughout all three bedrooms, the hallway and staircase. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, views over the green space across the street and an impressive ensuite finished with marble, travertine, granite and custom tile work. A second updated bathroom serves the two additional spacious bedrooms.The finished basement adds another level of flexibility with a kitchenette, dining area, living room, bedroom and a large bathroom with a soaker tub. The stairs leading down and the basement bedroom also have brand-new carpet. It's an ideal setup for extended family, older children looking for some independence, overnight guests, or simply more room to spread out.Many of the home's most important improvements are the ones you don't immediately see. The Poly-B plumbing has been completely replaced, the home has triple-pane windows throughout, the roof is approximately three years old, and there is a newer furnace, tankless hot water system and water softener.And then there's the location. Set across from green space in established Riverbend, you're within walking distance of Carburn Park and the Bow River pathway system, with quick access to Glenmore, Deerfoot and Stoney Trail. Downtown is an easy commute.This is a home that has been cared for and improved over the years, with plenty of character, some truly unique details and many of the bigger-ticket items already taken care of.
