427 Willow Grove Crescent Se, Calgary

*Open House, Saturday September 6, 12-2pm* Here’s your chance to own a piece of history in Willow Park. In 1965, Keith Homes built Willow Park Golf Course and the surrounding community. Shortly after, seven entrepreneurial owners came together to secure ownership of the golf course, ensuring its future as one of Calgary’s most prestigious clubs. This home was the long-term residence of one of those seven original pioneers, who chose this location to establish his family for many years. Willow Park Golf & Country Club offers one of the most prestigious memberships in the city, and here’s your opportunity to live in one of its best locations. This property is set on the 8th hole and features sunny south views of the golf course. Aerial images highlight the sweeping, unobstructed south-facing views across the fairway and green, with tree-lined holes and the clubhouse visible in the distance. The most desirable lots on this course are those offering close walking proximity to the facilities, and from your back gate, you are just a short walk up the 9th hole to reach the clubhouse, restaurant, pro shop, practice facility, and first tee. This is truly a prime location not only on the golf course but also in Willow Park, as you are only moments away from all of the amenities residents enjoy in this desirable community. This Keith-built home offers over 2,500+ square feet above grade and presents an incredible opportunity to renovate or rebuild your dream home in one of Calgary’s most prestigious locations. Set back and fronting a green space, this property has beautiful curb appeal as you arrive. The bright kitchen (shown) features light wood cabinetry, a centre island/breakfast bar, tiled flooring and built-in appliances creating a functional heart to the home. The 22-foot vaulted ceiling on the main floor is a striking architectural feature that gives the home a grand feel as you enter. Keith-built homes are still known today for their enduring quality, and you can rest assured this home offers great “bones” for your renovation project. The main living area opens through large sliding glass doors to the private yard, bringing in abundant natural light and offering easy indoor-outdoor living. Despite its exposure to the golf course, the backyard remains very private and experiences limited golf traffic along its fence line, with an extra-large gate providing direct access to the course. The professionally landscaped yard includes mature evergreens and deciduous trees, manicured lawn areas and garden beds that create a tranquil, park-like setting. Willow Park is a special community for many reasons beyond the golf course. Many homeowners on the golf course choose to live here not to join the golf club, but to enjoy the splendour and tranquility of backing on to such a beautiful setting. The lower level offers a retro-style recreation room with a built-in bar, wood-accent walls and ample space for entertaining or family activities. This home is just a short walk to Willow Park School, St. William School, the Trico Centre, and Southcentre. The Italian market is also just up the street, along with Willow Park Village. With ideal access to major roadways, you can be on your way quickly. Additional interior details include bedrooms with hardwood flooring and mirrored closet doors, plus flexible living spaces that await your renovation ideas. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to establish yourself here for many years to come. (id:1945)
