18 Shaw Close, Red Deer, Alberta

About This Property

Southbrook is one of those neighbourhoods that makes a lot of sense if you want quiet without feeling cut off from everything. It’s a fully residential area, so you don’t have commercial traffic running through the streets, but you’re still close to the south-end amenities people actually use day to day. Shopping, schools, services, and major routes are all nearby, and you’re also tucked close to the Waskasoo trail system, which gives you access to some of the best walking paths and nature in Red Deer ~ This 2009 duplex has 1,530 sq ft above grade, no condo fees, 3 bedrooms all on the upper level, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, A/C, a single attached garage, and a fully finished walkout basement ~ Inside, the main floor feels bright and open. The 10-foot ceilings through the kitchen and living area give the space a more comfortable, open feel, and the layout keeps the kitchen, dining, and living room connected the way people actually live. The kitchen has good cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a large peninsula for extra prep space or casual seating, and a built-in desk area that could work as a coffee station, homework spot, charging area, or just extra storage ~ The dining area sits right between the kitchen and living room, so the main floor flows naturally. You can be cooking, eating, relaxing by the fireplace, or heading out to the deck without the home feeling chopped up. The living room has a gas fireplace for that cozy winter feel, and the doors out to the upper deck make the backyard feel connected to the main level ~ Upstairs, all 3 bedrooms are together, which is a big deal for a lot of buyers, especially if you have younger kids or just prefer a traditional bedroom layout. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own ensuite, while the second full bathroom upstairs works well for kids, guests, or everyday use ~ The walkout basement is where this home adds a lot of value. It gives you a true second living space, not just a dark basement y ou never use. You’ve got room for a family room, movie area, workout space, play area, or a separate hangout spot, plus in-floor heat to keep the lower level comfortable. There is also a full bathroom with a double shower, which makes the basement even more functional ~ From the basement, you can walk right out to the lower patio and fenced yard. The yard is manageable, landscaped, and has some trees for a bit of privacy, so you still get outdoor space without feeling like every weekend is yard work. Between the upper deck, lower patio, walkout basement, and fenced yard, the indoor-outdoor setup is one of the things that makes this home work really well ~ If you’re looking for a quiet south Red Deer location, no condo fees, 3 bedrooms upstairs, a finished walkout basement, and easy access to trails and amenities, this Southbrook home is a strong fit.
