31 Chapala Close SE Calgary, AB T2X 3T1

STEPS to TWO schools! A rare, mature, beautifully landscaped setting in one of Chaparral's most PRIVATE pockets. This original-owner home has been thoughtfully upgraded inside and out, offering 2,907 sq ft above grade plus a fully finished basement, over 4,100 sq ft of total developed living space - with 5 bedrooms (a 6th easily added using the upper-level office). From the moment you arrive, the difference is obvious: a perfectly landscaped front yard, custom curbing, an illuminated house number & a cedar pergola-covered porch, all on a wonderfully quiet street. The expanded driveway comfortably fits 3 vehicles, with room for a basketball hoop & play space. Inside you will LOVE vaulted ceilings, LVP flooring PLUS an OPEN CONCEPT layout floods the main level with light, with sightlines straight through to the private, SOUTH-facing backyard. The kitchen has been elevated with rich walnut cabinetry, striking Argentinian river's-edge granite, a touchless faucet, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a gas stove & a walk-through pantry leading to a mud room & oversized double garage with custom overhead storage + built-in workbench. 2 piece bath conveniently located on this level with multiple access methods! The primary suite is a true retreat: fully repainted with completely renovated ensuite in 2024 = expanded shower, new soaker tub, upgraded quartz counters & custom faucets. Upstairs also offers a bonus room, two generous bedrooms, a flexible office (easily a 4th bedroom), and BRIGHT laundry with a sink. The finished basement adds a private lower-level retreat: a flex space for a gym, games room, or media area, plus two bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet & their own sink, sharing a 4-piece bath, ideal for teens, along with a second laundry hookup. Outside, a custom cedar deck with low-voltage lighting, a paver patio, hardwired garden lighting, mature gardens and trees, an artificial turf dog run on irrigation PLUS a fully powered, insulated 10x12 shed - create a backyard built for relaxing and entertaining. Additional upgrades: water softener, GlowStone lighting, newer fascia and roof shingles, two furnaces, A/C, tankless hot water tank. Enjoy year-round lake access and the Chaparral lifestyle: swimming, skating, pathways, parks, schools and shopping nearby. Downtown and the airport are 30 minutes away, Costco is 15 minutes, Blue Devil Golf is down the hill, and Fish Creek Park and WOOF Willow off-leash park are minutes away. This home has been meticulously upgraded and thoughtfully maintained.
