This stunning 2.2 million dollar home in old Glenora is a rare find, & it's on the market.

Finding a home on the outer ring of St. George's Crescent in the Old Glenora neighborhood is rare. With spectacular views of Edmonton's river valley and a short commute to downtown, it's really no wonder why.

52 St. George's Crescent is its own wonder both inside and out. Built in 1929, its architectural design is a well-aged timepiece with modernized upgrades throughout, boasting over 3700 square feet of living space above grade.

The unique arched brick front entrance will welcome you into a large open foyer with black and white checkered flooring straight out of Wonderland. The entrance boasts high ceilings and a ton of natural light beaming in from large south-facing windows. The foyer sits centrally in the house leading in multiple directions. To the left, you will find a grand living room that features a wood-burning fireplace, a white ceramic tile floor and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a spectacular view of the river valley.

The bright open-concept kitchen is a chef's kiss; showcasing an assortment of windows, skylights, tons of cabinet space, stone countertops, a large island and high-end stainless steel appliances. Glass french doors lead to a unique brick deck in the back yard, the perfect place for a barbecue.

The kitchen flows into a generous dining room with another large window and plenty of room to host family dinners.

On the other side of the kitchen, you'll take a step down into a cozy family room with a two-way gas fireplace. More floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the charming backyard and the skylights bleed in from the kitchen, giving the room a bright and inviting appeal.

Before heading up the stairs to the second floor, you will also find the main-floor bathroom with a shower and a den.

The second level features four bedrooms and two more washrooms. The luxurious master bedroom features a

spacious walk-in closet with enough built-in cabinets and shelves to make Marie Kondo proud. A spa-like ensuite bathroom has double sinks, a stand-up shower and a soaker tub with ravine views. The second bathroom also features double sinks and a stand-up shower with a built-in bench.

Perhaps the most unique feature of 52 St. George's Crescent is a red-carpeted spiral staircase leading up to a secret loft. Also bearing the red carpet treatment, the loft includes sloped ceilings, built-in shelving and another gas fireplace which sets the perfect scene for a cozy reading nook.

Outside, both the back yard and front yard offer landscaping with gardening opportunities. The private back yard is fully fenced with several different trees scattered throughout offering extra privacy. A double detached garage in the back completes this extraordinary place to call home.
