There’s something about this home that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The distinctive natural stone and stucco exterior sets the tone for a home filled with warmth, character and spaces designed to be lived in. Step inside to a bright front living room where large windows fill the space with natural light. Continue through the home and you’ll discover the heart of the house: a cozy family room with a vaulted, wood-trimmed ceiling and a natural stone wood-burning fireplace that creates the perfect place to settle in on a cool Calgary evening. Patio doors open directly to the backyard, making summer entertaining just as easy as cozy winter nights indoors. The kitchen is equally welcoming, with updated cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, plenty of workspace and a breakfast bar island that naturally becomes the gathering spot for morning coffee or casual conversation. The main level offers the ease of bungalow living, with a comfortable primary bedroom featuring a spacious customized walk-in closet with built-in storage and access to the three-piece bathroom with a fully tiled shower. A second bedroom completes the main floor. Then there’s more. A gorgeous spiral staircase leads to more than 1,260 sq. ft. of developed basement space, opening up a world of possibilities. The large recreation room is ready for movie nights, games, hobbies or entertaining, while additional space could become a bedroom with the addition of an egress window. A sink makes another room ideal for an art studio, home gym, creative space or even a small salon. There’s also a separate room ready to adapt to whatever your lifestyle requires.
And one of the home’s most unexpected perks? An infrared sauna, giving you your own private place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a private setting for summer evenings, pets, gardening or simply enjoying your morning coffee. A large double garage plus spacious carport provide plenty of parking and storage. Set in an established SE Calgary community, this home offers the charm of mature neighbourhood living with everyday conveniences close by. Walk to the dog park and school, with parks, green spaces, shopping, restaurants and amenities nearby. Major roadways and transit make getting around the city easy. Most windows were replaced in 2011, and the wood-burning fireplace has just been inspected.
Warm, distinctive and full of character, this is a home that offers the comfort of bungalow living with so much more waiting downstairs.&#xD;

Designed with everyday family life in mind, this McKenzie Towne home offers something increasingly hard to find – plenty of space to come together, and just as much room to spread out. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen that makes an immediate impression with its two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, large centre island and generous workspace. Whether it is busy weekday mornings or a kitchen full of friends, this is a space made for gathering. Large windows fill the main level with natural light and the kitchen flows into the spacious living room, where a gas fireplace adds warmth and a comfortable focal point. A separate family/flex room with French doors gives you even more versatility and would make an excellent home office, playroom or quieter sitting area. Main-floor laundry and a 2-piece bathroom add everyday convenience, while access off the rear of the home leads to the private backyard and deck.
Upstairs, the large bonus room creates another dedicated family space away from the main living area. There are three bedrooms on this level, including a spacious primary retreat with a walk-in closet and ensuite featuring double vanities, a soaking tub and in-floor heat. An additional full bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms.
The fully developed basement adds another entire level of living and is one of the home's biggest highlights. The expansive recreation room is currently set up with an impressive theatre area, with plenty of additional room for games, hobbies or entertaining. A dedicated gym space, additional bedroom and full bathroom make this level equally useful for guests, older children or extended family.
Outside, enjoy your own private backyard and deck along with a double detached garage. Central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through the summer, while several important updates have already been completed, including the renovated kitchen cabinetry and counters, developed basement, new furnace (2025), hot water tank (2026), shingles and dishwasher.
McKenzie Towne is known for its distinctive neighbourhood design and walkable feel, with residential areas connected to parks, pathways and community destinations. Its traditional town-centre concept includes High Street and pedestrian-oriented shops and services, while nearby 130 Avenue provides even more everyday amenities.
This is a home that gives you options at every stage – space to entertain, work, play, host guests and simply enjoy being at home.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 159 Elgin TERRACE SE in Calgary. &lt;a href="https://melissakost.com/mylistings.html/listing.a2341958-159-elgin-terrace-se-calgary-t2z-0g3.109700514"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Designed with everyday family life in mind, this McKenzie Towne home offers something increasingly hard to find – plenty of space to come together, and just as much room to spread out. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen that makes an immediate impression with its two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, large centre island and generous workspace. Whether it is busy weekday mornings or a kitchen full of friends, this is a space made for gathering. Large windows fill the main level with natural light and the kitchen flows into the spacious living room, where a gas fireplace adds warmth and a comfortable focal point. A separate family/flex room with French doors gives you even more versatility and would make an excellent home office, playroom or quieter sitting area. Main-floor laundry and a 2-piece bathroom add everyday convenience, while access off the rear of the home leads to the private backyard and deck.
Upstairs, the large bonus room creates another dedicated family space away from the main living area. There are three bedrooms on this level, including a spacious primary retreat with a walk-in closet and ensuite featuring double vanities, a soaking tub and in-floor heat. An additional full bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms.
The fully developed basement adds another entire level of living and is one of the home's biggest highlights. The expansive recreation room is currently set up with an impressive theatre area, with plenty of additional room for games, hobbies or entertaining. A dedicated gym space, additional bedroom and full bathroom make this level equally useful for guests, older children or extended family.
Outside, enjoy your own private backyard and deck along with a double detached garage. Central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through the summer, while several important updates have already been completed, including the renovated kitchen cabinetry and counters, developed basement, new furnace (2025), hot water tank (2026), shingles and dishwasher.
McKenzie Towne is known for its distinctive neighbourhood design and walkable feel, with residential areas connected to parks, pathways and community destinations. Its traditional town-centre concept includes High Street and pedestrian-oriented shops and services, while nearby 130 Avenue provides even more everyday amenities.
This is a home that gives you options at every stage – space to entertain, work, play, host guests and simply enjoy being at home.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 59 Sage Hill GREEN NW in Calgary. &lt;a href="https://melissakost.com/mylistings.html/listing.a2340749-59-sage-hill-green-nw-calgary-t3r-0h2.109664240"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Welcome to Sage Hill, where this beautifully maintained 2-storey home offers the space, flexibility and community setting to truly put down roots and grow. With 2,387 sq. ft. above grade plus an additional 932 sq. ft. in the fully developed basement, this is a home designed to adapt through every stage of family life. Step inside to a bright, welcoming main floor where an open-concept layout brings everyone together. At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a large island with breakfast bar and an impressive walk-through pantry offering exceptional storage. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area and comfortable living room, where an upgraded gas fireplace creates a warm gathering place for everyday evenings and entertaining alike. A main-floor office/den provides valuable work-from-home space, while a mudroom and 2-piece bathroom complete this level. Outside, you'll quickly understand why the backyard is one of the sellers' favourite features. Private, fenced and beautifully landscaped with mature trees, garden beds and plenty of green space, it feels like your own little retreat. A large deck provides room for outdoor dining, BBQs and relaxing while the kids play nearby. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat with walk-in closet and ensuite featuring dual vanities, a stand-up shower and relaxing soaker tub. Two additional bedrooms share a 4-piece bathroom, while the upper-floor laundry room keeps everyday routines convenient.  The fully finished basement adds another level of versatility with a large recreation room, bar area, additional bedroom and bathroom, plus a dedicated home gym space. Whether your family needs room for teenagers, guests, movie nights, workouts or hobbies, there is space here to make it your own.
Numerous updates add even more value, including newer carpet, fresh paint, new dishwasher, stove and microwave, new washer and dryer, updated light fixtures, upgraded fireplace, central air conditioning, Gemstone exterior lighting, and a new roof and siding in 2026. The home also features a double attached garage and excellent storage throughout.
And then there is the location. Sage Hill is a community made for everyday family living, with an abundance of pathways, parks, playgrounds and natural green spaces woven throughout the neighbourhood. Shopping, groceries, restaurants and everyday services are close to home, while convenient access to major routes makes getting around Calgary simple. It is the kind of neighbourhood where evening walks, weekends at the park and getting to know the neighbours can easily become part of your routine.
More than just a house, this is a place with the space to settle in, grow and create years of memories in one of northwest Calgary's most convenient family communities.&#xD;

Welcome to this bright and inviting multi-level townhome in the established community of Evergreen, offering a unique layout, thoughtful updates and a location that makes everyday life incredibly convenient. With multiple levels of living space, three bedrooms, a finished basement and an attached garage, this home offers plenty of room to spread out while still maintaining a comfortable, homey feel.
Step inside from the front entrance or single attached garage and make your way up to one of the standout spaces in the home—the spacious living room. Soaring ceilings and an impressive wall of windows fill the room with natural light, while luxury vinyl plank flooring adds warmth and durability. From here, step outside onto your private deck, a great spot for morning coffee, summer BBQs or simply enjoying some fresh air.
A few steps up, the kitchen and dining level keeps the spaces connected while still giving each area its own identity. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and workspace along with three newer appliances, while the bright dining area provides plenty of room to gather for family meals or entertain friends. A convenient 2-piece bathroom with laundry completes this level.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with its own private 3-piece ensuite and walk in closet. The additional bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests or a home office, with another full bathroom conveniently located on this level.
The finished basement adds even more usable living space with a recreation room that can easily become a TV room, playroom, office, workout area or quiet retreat. Important updates add even more value, including a new furnace and hot water tank, along with a newer washer, all three kitchen appliances and hood fan.
Outside, enjoy the convenience of your own driveway and single attached garage without the upkeep of a traditional backyard. Condo living means less exterior maintenance and more time to enjoy everything surrounding you.
The location is one the sellers have especially loved. Set within peaceful Evergreen, you can walk to everyday amenities including Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart, restaurants and services, with Costco and additional shopping just a short drive away. Schools, playgrounds, walking paths and green spaces are nearby, while beautiful Fish Creek Provincial Park offers seemingly endless opportunities to walk, bike and enjoy nature.
Bright, comfortable and conveniently located, this is a home that offers an easy lifestyle in one of southwest Calgary's well-established communities.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 218 Boulder Creek PLACE in Langdon. &lt;a href="https://melissakost.com/mylistings.html/listing.a2338454-218-boulder-creek-place-langdon-t0j-1x3.109592099"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Welcome to Boulder Creek Estates in Langdon, where small-town charm, family-friendly living and room to spread out come together. Offering over 2,570 sq ft above grade, a fully finished basement and five bedrooms, this beautifully maintained 2-storey home has been thoughtfully designed for busy family life, entertaining and enjoying time together.
Step inside to a bright, welcoming interior where large windows and an open layout fill the home with natural light. A main-floor office provides a dedicated space for working from home, while the heart of the house brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together. The spacious kitchen is made for gathering, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinetry, a large centre island with seating and a walk-through pantry that adds plenty of everyday storage. The adjoining dining area opens directly onto the covered deck, while the living room offers a comfortable place to unwind around the gas fireplace.
Upstairs is designed with families in mind. A large bonus room provides another place to gather for movie nights, games or quiet evenings at home, while all four upper bedrooms keep everyone close by. The spacious primary retreat features a beautiful 5-piece ensuite, while the additional bedrooms share another 5-piece bathroom. An upper-floor laundry room makes everyday routines that much easier.
The builder-finished basement extends the living space with a large recreation room, fifth bedroom and 4-piece bathroom, creating a flexible level for teenagers, guests, hobbies, workouts or family movie nights.
Outside is a backyard you will want to use all summer long. The large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of room for kids and pets to play, while mature landscaping and a firepit area create a welcoming setting for evenings outdoors. The expansive covered deck is a true extension of the home, providing a sheltered place for BBQs, morning coffee and entertaining regardless of the weather.
A heated and insulated triple attached garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, storage and toys, while the extended driveway offers valuable additional parking and added flexibility for a boat or RV. Central air conditioning, power blinds and dual-zone heating and cooling add comfort throughout the seasons. A new hot water tank was installed in 2025, and the HVAC system was serviced and cleaned in July 2026.
Set in the welcoming community of Boulder Creek Estates, this is a home that offers the space families are looking for both inside and out, all while enjoying the relaxed pace and community feel that makes Langdon such a special place to call home.&#xD;
