I have sold a property at 237 Varsity Estates ME NW in Calgary

Posted on September 30, 2018 by David Johnston

I have sold a property at 237 Varsity Estates ME NW in Calgary.

On this secluded cul de sac in Varsity Estates is where you will find this south backing 2088 SF home with direct access double garage. Homes on this tranquil street, or this elite pocket of the community for that matter, seldom come to market. This 4 bedroom home with gleaming hardwood and direct access to a playground / park has an oversized professionally landscaped sunny south yard that is a must see. Improvements include roof, exterior doors and most windows, dishwasher and slide in stove. The home is move in ready for a buyer with limited budget but wanting a premier location, or is perfect for a full remodel to match many of the neighboring homes that have recently completed the process. Varsity is well known for its exceptional schools, golf course, and walkway system. Not to mention it's close proximity to Market Mall, UofC, Children's Hospital. it's no doubt it was last year's Avenue Magazine Community of the year!
