Are you looking for a very CENTRAL LOCATION with quick access to U of C, the LRT, SAIT, McMahon Stadium or a host of other amenities? No other homes across the street, literally across the street from Capitol Hill Elementary School. Also close to shopping and much more. Would you prefer an ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY with an UPDATED HOME? Come see 2205 18 St NW! The very central community of Banff Trail was established in the 1950's, but this home was added as an infill in 1984! Since then MORE UPGRADES have occurred. You will love the additional improvements in the last six years, giving you a turnkey move-in option. MINT CONDITION HARDWOOD in the bedrooms, hallway, living room, and dining room. IMPROVEMENTS SINCE 2017: ELEGANT NEW WHITE KITCHEN CABINETS with pull-out, solf-close drawers. NEW COUNTERTOPS. NEW SUBWAY TILE backsplash. OPENED KITCHEN WALL to maximize natural lighting. NEW KITCHEN FLOORING to match the hardwood. NEW DISHWASHER. RENOVATED MAIN FLOOR BATHROOM - with a new soaker tub, tiled to the ceiling, plus a multi-drawer vanity with granite top and backsplash, a matching full-width mirror, and new flooring. The back deck has also been resurfaced with composite deck boards, very durable and low maintenance! Come see this BUNGALOW with an OVERSIZED SINGLE DETACHED GARAGE, beautiful landscaping and a BACKYARD OASIS! Fantastic architectural design with a very wide streetside presentation. The garage has vehicle access from the sidestreet as well, not the laneway. You will love the layout with bedrooms and bathroom on one side of the front entry, while on the other side you have the living room, kitchen, and eating area! The kitchen connects easily to the back deck and lower patio for summer BBQ's. NATURAL LIGHT flows through this home because of sun exposure on three sides. HUGE LIVING ROOM with BAY WINDOW. BASEMENT IS FINISHED. Downstairs is another bedroom, rec room, bathroom. The basement bathroom has a full width TILED SHOWER. The laminate used in the basement has a very similar look to the hardwod on the main level. No carpet in this home except on the staircase! Do you love to garden? AMAZING LANDSCAPE DESIGN, beautifully maintained! In the back yard you will enjoy many summer nights with tremendous privacy and tranquility! Check out the patio area with it's mature central tree and surrounding shrubs and flowers! Do you like to stay active? Head a short distance south to the Bow River pathway system, or north for golf or a stroll in Confederation Park or Nose Hill Park for a bike ride on the extensive pathways and trails. Since this home is THREE DECADES NEWER than most of the surrounding homes, you will enjoy DOUBLE PANE WINDOWS, ASBESTOS-FREE INSULATION AND DRYWALL, COPPER WIRING (NOT ALUMINUM OR A MIX OF THE TWO), COPPER PLUMBING LINES (NOT THE CONTROVERSIAL POLY-B), VINYL SIDING (no mid-century stucco or wood siding). Excellent value!
