It has an open-concept plan that includes a kitchen, dining nook, and living room. Upstairs, the master suite has an ensuite and a walk-in closet, along with a door that leads out to a balcony patio where you’ll enjoy relaxing when the weather is nice.

This is the perfect place for a morning walk or an evening bike ride with the family. Since it’s so close to your home, you won’t have to worry about staying active on a regular basis. There’s also the wooded Desrochers forest area. This place will be so fun to explore as the seasons change.

In fact, there are elementary schools, a junior high school, and a senior high school that are all within walking distance. These include high-quality public schools and Catholic schools for those who prefer a faith-based education. Remember, too, that Edmonton public schools sometimes allow you to register a child that’s not in the official catchment lines, so if there’s another school that you prefer, you could ask about registration there.
