Warm wood tones, soft green cabinetry and generous windows give this 2013 semi-detached home with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms a welcoming feel. Renovated in 2025, it features new hardwood flooring on the main floor, new carpets on the upper and lower levels as well as a new furnace and a hot water tank, along with fresh paint throughout the entire home. The home offers 1,932 sq. ft. above grade and approximately 2,830 sq. ft. of total developed living space, with air conditioning.

New wide plank oak flooring runs throughout the main level, connecting the living room, dining room and kitchen in an open layout with clearly defined areas. The dining room has space for full size dining table with room for extra guests. In the kitchen, soft green lower cabinets contrast with white upper cabinetry, glass accents and new quartz countertops. The island seats 4, with ample workspace for cooking and room for company. A gas range, stainless steel appliances and a corner pantry round out the kitchen, while the window above the sink overlooks the backyard. A separate rear mudroom keeps coats and shoes out of the main living areas, with a powder room just alongside. Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling and large arched window give the primary bedroom a sense of space and light. There is a large walk-in closet with built-in storage and a 5-piece ensuite with a double vanity, stone countertops, a deep soaker tub beneath the window and a separate tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full 4-piece bathroom and laundry complete the upper floor. The developed basement offers versatility, featuring a large recreation room with wet bar, a fourth bedroom with walk-in closet, a full bathroom, and a separate den that works equally well as an office, gym, or guest bedroom. Ample storage throughout the lower level adds everyday convenience. Outside, the fenced and landscaped backyard has a patio for outdoor dining and access to the detached double garage which features significant built in mezzanine storage. SAIT and King George School are close by, as are Confederation Park and Riley Park. Kensington’s cafés, shops and restaurants are a short trip away, with convenient access to downtown.&#xD;

Completely renovated inside and out by Katra Construction, this exceptional Mid-Century Modern residence in Chinook Park offers just over 3,200 sq.ft. of total finished living space and has been rebuilt with a level of scope rarely seen in the area. The home combines established-community scale, architectural character, and a newly refined contemporary interior by Lush Interiors.
The exterior has been fully transformed with low-maintenance composite siding, stone accents, metal detailing, concrete walkways, updated landscaping, new soffits, fascia, eaves, and downspouts. The south-facing backyard has been equally upgraded with a new triple-car detached garage, a new deck off the main living area, and refreshed landscaping.
Inside, the main level has been structurally opened to create a bright, connected kitchen, dining, and living space. Two large engineered beams span the home from front to back, allowing for a modern open-plan layout while preserving the strength and character of the original structure. The living room is generously scaled, with a gas fireplace and large triple-pane low-E Lux windows, while the kitchen and dining areas connect directly to the rear deck and south-facing backyard.
The upper level offers three bedrooms, including a private primary suite with walk-in closet and a newly finished five-piece ensuite featuring heated floors and a steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom complete the upper floor. The lower level adds a fourth bedroom, family room/flex space with direct separate outdoor access, two additional full bathrooms, laundry room, and mudroom, creating excellent separation and flexibility for family living, guests, or work-from-home needs. The finished basement provides additional recreation space with a bar, second fireplace, and a large finished gym space with a 10mm glass wall.
The renovation extends well beyond cosmetics. The home includes all new electrical, new panels in both the house and garage, 200-amp service run to the garage and trenched back to the house, all new plumbing, and all new HVAC, complete with a two-zone furnace system. Additional updates include solid-core interior doors, new hardwood flooring, new carpet with upgraded underlay in the basement, and in-floor heat in the ensuite, laundry room, and powder room.
Set on a 7,308 sq.ft. south-facing lot, the property offers mature-community privacy, outdoor living space, and a rare amount of usable yard in one of Calgary’s most desirable southwest neighbourhoods. The result is a clean, modernized interpretation of the home’s Mid-Century roots, with strong lines, substantial glazing, and a material palette that feels both current and timeless.
Chinook Park is known for its wide streets, large lots, strong community feel, and exceptional access to Glenmore Trail, Elbow Drive, Heritage Drive, 14 Street SW, Chinook Centre, Glenmore Landing, Heritage Park, the Glenmore Reservoir, schools, parks, pathways, tennis, rinks and pickleball courts.&#xD;
