Welcome to a Foothills Gem located just off the 17th Green of the Turner Valley Golf Course. This country retreat nestled on the ridge above the Sheep River on the outskirts of Turner Valley offers acreage style living with the convenience of small town services and community ambience. Royalite Way has been the premiere address in Turner Valley since it was established as the neighbourhood for Imperial Oil's executives when its new natural gas plant was built here in the 1930s. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a quarter acre with an unrivalled private corner location and breathtaking views of the pond & greens of the 8th and 17th holes of the golf course. The original bungalow was renovated, raised and then annexed to a two-storey addition and large garage/workshop structure both built between 2004-2006. The beautiful result is a 2,045 s.f. one and a half storey home with finished basement which presents gracefully to both the east and west elevations in traditional style with inviting wraparound veranda, patio and porch space. (You will always have a spot in the sun). Come inside and you are in a one-of-a-kind original layout. A huge open living area with double French doors to the covered veranda is flooded in natural light and serene views. Stairs lead up to the Master retreat and artist studio/loft with skylight. In the original section on the main floor is a gorgeously appointed contemporary kitchen with induction cook-top, counter-height convection oven, microwave hood fan, granite counter-tops and breakfast bar, movable island/prep table and custom cabinetry. The dining area and adjacent den/sitting room combine for open concept entertaining and will accommodate large tables and seating for those family gatherings and special occasions. Downstairs you will find a huge family/rec room that will serve as a great spot for your fitness equipment with room to spare for games/media/entertainment. A guest bedroom along with laundry, storage and furnace room fill the remainder of the 1,200 square feet on this level. For the avid handyman, mechanically-minded or serious tradesperson there is a garage (oversized) and workshop that is thoughtfully designed, brilliantly equipped and configured to suit almost anyone's needs.... (and, of course, independently heated to take the edge off of working in the winter). The current condition of this home is the definition of immaculate. Lovingly cared for and maintained by the owners of the past 25 years – the pride of ownership and attention to detail in all the finishing and appointments is readily evident. So to in the garden – where mature trees, shrubs, annuals & perennials grow abundantly providing seasonal colour. Bike/walking paths and interpretive trails are only steps away from this home – as is the Sheep River which is known for its great fishing and kayaking. While you can enjoy nature on your doorstep, Calgary is only a 40 minute drive and Okotoks only 20. Your lifestyle upgrade awaits...
