Where it is
126 Huggard Road
The design
Located only a short drive from Calgary, this thoughtfully updated Springbank bungalow is nestled in the heart of a stunningly maintained four-acre property. It’s the ideal escape for an established or growing family looking to leave the suburbs. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom property has more than enough room, with more than 5,400 square feet of combined living space.
Lovingly updated over the years (the seller’s family moved into the property in the late ‘90s), the home’s design strikes the perfect balance between contemporary and cozy. A 900-square-foot addition in 2018 — including a foundation extension — resulted in an impressive primary suite. The original primary suite is also spacious, and includes a walk-in closet that has been converted into a reading nook.
Built for entertaining, the breathtaking kitchen features a six-burner Wolf range, a matching free hanging range hood, a commercial grade refrigerator and an expansive L-shaped walk-in pantry.

Inside the Home
The property’s south-facing entrance features a sprawling deck and a stunning view of mature trees. The home has undergone significant improvements, including Hardie Board siding and new roof shingles and soffits.
The bungalow’s main living space is open and airy, with a bright dining room, charming breakfast nook and stunning kitchen.
The open-concept living room centres around one of three wood-burning fireplaces in the property. The stone feature wall was part of the original 1975 bungalow.
The cozy family room also includes a wood-burning fireplace with an original stone hearth, ample natural light and a striking feature wall.
One of the most unique qualities of the property is the in-law suite. The spacious primary suite includes a massive walk-in closet, a vaulted ceiling and a charming view of the front yard.
The bungalow has two ensuite bathrooms — one in the original primary suite, and one in the recently added primary bedroom. The latter evokes the feeling of stepping into a spa and features a soaking tub.
The basement is spacious and includes a home gym complete with rubber flooring and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, as well as an additional bedroom, bathroom and 10-foot ceilings.
The extension to the bungalow’s foundation makes for a cozy movie or games room.
The home’s north-facing back deck is expansive, with ample room for enjoying the surrounding green space.
The rural property also includes an attached triple-car garage.
