12 Archer DR Red Deer, AB T4R 2V1

There is great living to be had in this 1526 square foot Anders bungalow. The home is spacious, bright and ideally located in a safe neighborhood. It is only a minute’s walk to the picturesque Ander’s Lake, where one can take a stroll and enjoy watching the ducks and geese raise their broods. Biking trails provides easy access to Piper Creek and the whole Red Deer trail system. By car, the home is close to several arterial roads with quick access to all the major shopping areas, the highways, and many other amenities. The back of the house has a nice view of a pretty little park and across 40th Avenue to open fields where cattle still graze. The large deck has maintenance free composite decking and a natural gas line for the barbecue. The low maintenance yard is fully fenced (vinyl) and offers lots of scope for a more dedicated gardener. The interior is open, bright and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and tall windows in the living area. The open concept living/dining/kitchen area is great for entertaining, and the large island, glass fronted cabinets, many drawers, and pantry provide lots of storage space. The combination of hardwood floor and tile makes cleaning easy. The entryway is spacious, with mirrored closets and more easy-to-clean tile. The front room is nice and bright and offers lots of flexibility. It is currently used it as a home office, and it would be a great space for someone with a similar need. It could easily function as a TV room or spare bedroom if desired. The master suite is large with plenty of room for a king-size bed. The dressing room has lots of space for hanging clothes. There is a huge ensuite bathroom with a shower and a separate jet tub. (The ensuite has the square footage to add, with modifications, a main floor washer/dryer.) The glass brick wall lets the sunlight in while maintaining privacy. A second bedroom and full bathroom with tub complete the main floor. There is a good feel to the combination of proximity and privacy between the two bedrooms if you have a youngster in the family sleeping nearby. The basement is a great space, with two additional bedrooms, a dedicated laundry area, and a large family area. In-floor heat and carpet make it a very comfortable and versatile area for children to run and play. It would also make a cozy media room. The mechanical room features a relatively new high efficient furnace and also a boiler/storage tank. Other updates in recent years include a new oven, dishwasher, built in vacuum and attachments, tub and tile work, and a nicely finished laundry. The sellers have enjoyed living in this house and are confident that the next owners will appreciate it as much or more.
