Backing onto the Highwood River, the Happy Trails pathway system and expansive open green space, this beautifully maintained bungalow villa enjoys one of High River's most picturesque settings. Just steps from the Highwood Golf Course, with no condo fees and a well-managed HOA that looks after snow removal and lawn care, this home offers the perfect balance of low-maintenance living and an active lifestyle surrounded by nature. The drive to this outstanding property is something special, with mature elm trees, generous lot sizes and beautifully maintained green spaces creating a welcoming streetscape. Inside, the bright, open floor plan is designed for comfortable everyday living. Large windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing the beautiful backyard setting. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living areas, where the spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and updated kitchen. Granite countertops, quality stainless steel appliances, a pantry with pull-out shelving, ceramic tile backsplash and a sunny breakfast nook create a space that is as functional as it is inviting. The spacious primary bedroom features a 3-piece ensuite and a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office or den. A full main bathroom, convenient main floor laundry with sink and an oversized double attached garage complete this level. The professionally redeveloped lower level adds exceptional living space and blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. A large family room with cozy corner fireplace and wet bar, an additional bedroom, full bathroom, abundant storage and plenty of room for guests or hobbies make this level every bit as enjoyable as the main floor. Step onto the covered deck with low-maintenance composite decking or relax on the lower patio and take in the peaceful surroundings. With uninterrupted views of the Highwood River, beautifully maintained gardens, mature trees and the Rocky Mountains in the distance, it is easy to understand why this has been such a special home. Major improvements include a new high-efficiency furnace, hot water tank, hail-resistant SBS roof in 2014, all new triple-pane windows in 2026 throughout, R60 attic insulation and meticulously maintained landscaping. The vibrant front flower gardens create wonderful curb appeal, while the sunny south-facing backyard provides the perfect setting for gardeners and anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Opportunities like this are rare. Whether it's an early morning walk along the river, an afternoon round of golf or simply relaxing on the covered deck, this is a location that is difficult to match.
