SO MANY REASONS TO LOVE THIS HOME **Hello from Hillcrest!** Meet 497 Hillcrest Road — the kind of endlessly livable home that's perfect whether you're just starting out or planning to outgrow your current place (kids, pets, or both). And yes, we'll say it twice: NO CONDO FEES. The owners have babied this house, and honestly? Pictures don't do it justice. You need to walk through it yourself. Step through the front door and a nicely sized foyer eases you in — calm, welcoming, no chaos. The half bath is close enough to be convenient but far enough from the kitchen that your guests get their privacy (and you get yours). **Room to Grow** The single garage has serious ceiling height — basically an open invitation to build shelving, stack storage, and finally get organized. **The Heart of the Home** This main living space just works. The peninsula seats three (minimum), the living room plays nice with any furniture layout you throw at it, and the dining area fits a table for six without anyone squeezing past each other. Slide open the door to the small deck — gas line included — and BBQ season basically plans itself. In the kitchen, quartz counters and a sink under the window mean you can wash dishes and supervise backyard shenanigans at the same time. Backing east, the whole home soaks up light all day, especially those golden morning rays while your coffee's still hot. A cute pantry seals the deal. **An Upstairs Retreat** This floor knows how to keep the peace. The kids' bedrooms live up front on the west side, next to a full laundry room (an actual room, not a glorified closet) with hanging space and shelving for days. A wide linen closet and a well-stocked main bath round out their side of the floor. Tucked at the back, the primary bedroom gets the quiet life — plenty of room for a king bed and two nightstands, no debate needed. The ensuite and walk-in closet sit side by side, so you can get ready in the morning without waking anyone up. Double sinks, a generous shower, and a little window in the closet for good measure. **Downstairs, Full of Possibility** The walkout level is bright, has its own entrance, and has a huge finished room that you could use as a gym, bedroom (nice big window), playroom or home office! It also comes with rough-in plumbing just waiting for a future bathroom. Storage room, second hobby room, home gym, whatever you're dreaming up — it's got the space. Out back, the long yard is ready for landscaping plans or years of kids running wild. **Perfectly Positioned** Hillcrest puts you close to everything: quick access to Deerfoot, a walk to Cooper's Crossing Shopping and Balzac Brewing, and just minutes from parks, great schools, Stoney Trail, and Deerfoot Trail. Beautifully maintained, move-in ready, zero condo fees, and gorgeous from top to bottom — this one checks every box. Book your showing before someone beats you to it!
