308 716 3 Avenue Nw, Calgary

Bright, quiet, and perfectly located — this TOP FLOOR condo has it all: new wide-plank blonde flooring, a smart and open kitchen layout (featuring a breakfast bar with seating, pendant lighting over the peninsula, and dark espresso-style cabinetry), south-facing sunshine, and even city views (if you’re tall!). The kitchen features granite countertops and full-size stainless steel appliances that overlook the dining and living areas (open plan with a large picture window bringing abundant light, a cozy seating area and room for a dining table). The covered balcony, accessed via a sliding glass door, is the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding and is framed by mature trees and green courtyard views with occasional glimpses of downtown. There is convenient in-suite laundry and the ease of parking right at your back door. The bathroom has been updated with a tiled tub/shower surround, a contemporary dark vanity with stone countertop, chrome fixtures and a vanity light above the mirror. This CONCRETE building was substantially renovated in 2005 and is pet-friendly, well-managed, and comes with reasonable condo fees so you can enjoy peace of mind along with the peace and quiet of Sunnyside. Outside, the building’s red-brick exterior and concrete balconies surround a well-maintained, landscaped central courtyard with paved walkways, brick planter features and ground-level patios — a pleasant, private green space for residents. This one-square-kilometer neighborhood in the middle of Calgary is unlike anywhere else in the city. Its northern and eastern edges are bordered by a natural bluff, while its historic tree-lined streets open to stunning views of downtown just across the river and the iconic Peace Bridge. A short stroll to the west will bring you to the updated LRT station and the charming grocery stores, restaurants, and boutiques of Kensington. On top of all this, the City of Calgary has invested over $100 million into Sunnyside in recent years — from the protective new flood barrier and the Upper Plateau Separation Project to upgrades to its the main corridors. This is a neighborhood with history, character, and a very secure future. (id:1945)
