Welcome to Bowness – Your Next Chapter Starts HereIf you've ever wanted to live in a neighbourhood on the rise—full of character, history, and a renewed sense of community—Bowness is it. Once overlooked, it's now fast becoming one of Calgary’s most desirable areas, combining affordability with vibrancy, charm, and a strong sense of local identity.Located within walking distance of numerous amenities, your new home places you right in the heart of the action. The best Leopold’s Tavern outside of Regina is mere steps away, and the nearby public library offers a wealth of fiction titles and an impressive collection of classic DVDs. Yep, DVD's. Just ten minutes on foot will get you to Brewsmith Brewing and numerous other record stores, bookstores, and board game havens.A short walk in the opposite direction brings you to a recently developed commercial area featuring a Real Canadian Superstore, Dollarama, a liquor store, a burrito spot, Pet Valu, and a veterinary clinic—convenient whether you’re grabbing dinner or caring for a four-legged companion. A five-minute drive takes you to Bowness Park for nature strolls or across the river to Baker Park, ideal for disc golf enthusiasts. There are countless pathways and trails to explore, offering both the scenic side & the gritty side of Bowness (word to the wise: avoid the “ice")About the SuiteThis is a well-appointed basement suite built with care and attention to detail. Constructed by the current owner, me, it features all-new finishes, including quality flooring, a brand-new furnace, and a stylish barn wood feature wall.The kitchen includes modern touches like a USB charging outlet (how much more modern can you get than a USB?), pendant lighting, an apartment-sized fridge (to keep your grocery budget in check), and both a microwave and dishwasher—all included. It's the perfect setup whether you’re reheating leftovers or preparing a full meal.There are two bright bedrooms, each with large egress windows for both safety and natural light. Custom barn doors add a touch of handcrafted character, while the bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a large rain shower head, spray wand, and some pretty decent tile and glass work, if I do say so myself.Shared laundry facilities are available with the landlords (and their friendly cats), including an additional fridge for your use. While storage is somewhat limited in the laundry area, there is still room for everyday items—just not an entire heirloom collection.Street parking is easily accessible, and the backyard is spacious. There's even a garden box if you’re inclined to grow your own vegetables, though you might have to convince one of us that a garden is a better idea for it than a catio. You're welcome to use the BBQ with a little notice (or a shared burger).UtilitiesUtilities are split 60/40 between the upstairs and downstairs units. Monthly costs may fluctuate based on usage and political climate (welcome to Alberta).
