Why bungalows are so popular in Cochrane
A bungalow puts everything you use every day on one level: the kitchen, living room, primary suite, and laundry. That's a big reason they're so popular with downsizers, retirees, and anyone planning ahead for fewer stairs. A finished basement still gives you room for guests, hobbies, and family visits. New bungalows don't come up as often as two storey homes, so they tend to get a lot of interest.
Inside this Rivercrest bungalow
Entry and kitchen
The vaulted ceilings open up the space the moment you walk in. The entry is wide, with room for a console table and a big closet, and a powder room is tucked away so guests don't see it from the kitchen. The kitchen has a gas range with a hood fan, a built-in fridge, extra cabinetry, and an island with room for three or four stools. There's a microwave, and all the appliances are included.
Dining and living room
The dining area has space for a round or rectangular table under the light fixture, plus a built-in hutch that makes a great coffee bar. The living room has an electric fireplace and big bright windows, with a full width deck across the back.
Primary suite and laundry
The primary bedroom sits off the main living space, tucked away for privacy, with room for a king bed. The ensuite has a big soaker tub, a shower with upgraded glass and black hardware, and a vanity with drawers. The walk-in closet has a motion sensor light and shelving on both sides, and it's a walk-through closet that leads straight into the mudroom and laundry room. There's a broom closet for the vacuum and a linen closet, plus another passage back to the kitchen.
Fully finished basement
Windows along the side of the stairway bring natural light all the way down. The basement has an open rec room with big windows, a wet bar with lots of storage, and a storage closet. At the back are two good sized guest bedrooms with full closets and a full bathroom with a tub and shower.
