A welcoming front verandah, a striking contemporary kitchen and a floor plan that puts everyday living first: 8709 202 Avenue SE brings a fresh perspective to semi-detached living. This Morrison Homes Lola I, from the Discovery Series in Rose Ranch, blends inviting gathering spaces with carefully chosen upgrades and room to grow.Step inside to discover a layout that feels both connected and purposeful. The dining room sits at the front of the home, setting the stage for memorable meals, while the kitchen takes centre stage and the great room opens toward the rear. Generous rear windows invite natural light into the living area, where a 50-inch Luminara Vesta linear electric fireplace creates a sleek, comfortable focal point. A thoughtfully arranged rear mudroom keeps everyday arrivals organized, and a main-floor powder room adds convenience.Designed to be enjoyed as much as admired, the gourmet kitchen offers a distinctive two-tone cabinet scheme, upgraded 3cm quartz countertops and a vertically installed picket-style tile backsplash. Two pendant lights highlight the island, while champagne bronze cabinet hardware and matte black fixtures add a sophisticated contrast. Taller upper cabinetry provides valuable storage, complemented by a French-door refrigerator with ice and water, chimney-style hood fan, full-height tile behind the hood, built-in island microwave and a Silgranit sink. Coordinated black-and-gold accents, upgraded interior hardware and knockdown ceiling texture carry the contemporary look through the main and upper floors.Upstairs, the upgraded spa-inspired ensuite offers a tiled shower with built-in bench and sliding glass enclosure, creating a comfortable place to start and end the day. Updated bathroom sinks, stylish tile detailing and carefully considered finishes elevate the private spaces without sacrificing practicality.The unfinished basement offers more than storage: a separate side entrance, increased foundation height and secondary-su ite rough-ins create an excellent starting point for future plans. Provisions for a potential kitchen, bathroom and laundry area give buyers options to explore, subject to required permits and municipal approvals. The additional basement window helps support the possibilities for a future finished layout.Outside, the full front wood verandah with glass and aluminum railing adds curb appeal and a place to enjoy the neighbourhood. At the back, an approximately 11' x 9' deck with aluminum railing and a gas connection for a future barbecue makes outdoor dining easy, while a 19' x 22' rear gravel parking pad adds practical off-street space. Set in the developing Rose Ranch community of southeast Calgary, this home offers the excitement of a new neighbourhood alongside a versatile design that can evolve with you. Distinctive finishes, thoughtful upgrades and future potential make the Lola I an appealing place to put down roots. (id:27476)
