Inside the Home: Finishes That Earn the Price Tag
Main Floor
Brazilian cherry hardwood and crown molding run the entire main level — not just the living room, not just the entryway. All of it. It sets a tone immediately.
The kitchen is where this house really shows itself. GE Monogram gas range with grill. High-volume hood fan. Custom maple cabinetry. Granite countertops and a granite sink. A large custom island that becomes the natural gathering point in any room. This isn't a "recently updated" kitchen; it's a working chef's kitchen designed with intention.
Main floor laundry, a two-piece bath with heated floors, and a double attached garage that's insulated and drywalled. A flexible front room works as an office, formal dining room, or playroom depending on what your life requires.
Upper Floor
The primary bedroom faces the backyard and opens into a full ensuite: deep soaker tub, in-floor heating, maple cabinetry, and granite countertops. Large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a renovated four-piece bath round out the upper level, all in genuinely good shape, not "fine."
Basement
Fully developed and finished with more stonework than most people put in their main floor. The three-piece spa bath alone is a retreat. Wet bar with maple cabinetry, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. Gas fireplace. A large bedroom and serious storage. This is the basement you actually use.
The Backyard: Why This Property Is Different
Here's the honest truth — a lot of renovated Calgary homes have great interiors. Fewer have a backyard that genuinely extends your living space by three seasons.
The TimberTec deck connects directly to a cedar gazebo with a full outdoor kitchen: DCS stainless grill on natural gas, sink, fridge, two overhead gas heaters, and adjustable LED lighting. Six-person hot tub. Mature trees. Five cedar garden planters. New backyard fence (2023).
The overhead gas heaters are the detail that matter most. You're not done at the end of August. You're out there in October & comfortable. That's a meaningful lifestyle difference in Calgary.

Millrise, SW Calgary: Why This Community Still Wins
Millrise is one of those established southwest Calgary communities that people move into and then don't leave. There's a reason for that.
Fish Creek Provincial Park is steps away its one of the largest urban parks in Canada at over 13,000 acres. Paved pathways, off-leash areas, the Bow River corridor, and a level of green space that most Calgary neighbourhoods simply don't have. If you walk, run, cycle, or just want to clear your head, you have direct access from this neighbourhood.
Shawnessy Shopping Centre is minutes away and covers the basics without requiring a trip to the far end of the city: Walmart, Best Buy, Winners, and Co-op in one plaza. Sobeys and Shoppers Drug Mart are right at Millrise Plaza — literally around the corner.
For dinner, you're not stuck with chains. KINJO Sushi, Blowers & Grafton, and CattleBaron Steakhouse are all within a short drive. There's a reason the restaurant scene in this pocket of SW Calgary punches above its weight.
The Shawnessy CTrain station keeps downtown Calgary accessible without requiring you to drive in. For anyone who commutes or wants the option, that's real value baked into the location.
Millrise was developed in the 1990s, and the mature trees throughout the neighbourhood reflect that, this isn't a community of skinny saplings and freshly poured concrete. It has character and it's walkable.
No Pets. No Smoking. Shows a 10 Out of 10.
That last line in the MLS remarks isn't filler. This home has been taken care of the way an original owner takes care of a home they planned to stay in. Every finish, every upgrade, every outdoor detail reflects that.
If you're looking for a move-in ready home in southwest Calgary with genuine outdoor living space, proximity to Fish Creek Park, and finishes that hold up under scrutiny — this is worth seeing in person.
