Move-In Monday: 216 Mount Aberdeen Close SE

by Shane Meahan

Homes with this combo of upgrades + garage + possession don’t sit long.

If you’ve been watching the SE Calgary market, you already know:
The good ones—updated mechanicals, move-in ready, big garage—are gone in days, not weeks.

Today’s feature home in McKenzie Lake is exactly that kind of listing.

This is one of those rare opportunities where you can move in immediately, enjoy peace of mind with updated systems, and skip the $20–$30K of work most homes in this price point still need.

Let’s get into it.

⭐ Why Smart Buyers Will Move Fast on This One

In McKenzie Lake, the most requested features are:

Air Conditioning
Updated furnace / HWT
Real hardwood flooring
A finished basement
Oversized garage
Immediate possession

This home checks every box—and then some.

With new roof shingles (2019) and a brand-new furnace + hot water on demand (2023), the cost savings alone set this home apart from most comparables on the market right now.

🛋️ A Main Floor That Feels Like Home Immediately

The living room is bright and welcoming thanks to the bay window and rich walnut hardwood. The kitchen gives you space to cook, gather, and enjoy those family moments without feeling cramped:

Shaker-style oak cabinets
Stainless steel appliances
Large pantry
Patio doors to a massive deck

This is a layout buyers consistently tell me they prefer—open, bright, functional, and easy to live in.

🛌 Upstairs: The Essentials Are Already Done

The upper level delivers the ideal setup for families:

Spacious primary bedroom
Another bay window
Walk-in closet
Renovated cheater-ensuite bath
Two additional bedrooms with hardwood

Nothing to fix, update, or replace. Just move in and enjoy.

🎮 A Finished Basement That Adds Real Flexibility

Need a guest room?
A home office?
A place for teens?

You’ll find:

Rec room
Additional den/bedroom
Room roughed-in for a future bathroom
Fresh flooring and clean finishes throughout

This is a space that truly grows with your lifestyle.

🚗 Oversized 22’ x 24’ Garage — A Rare Find

Mechanics, hobbyists, and anyone with two vehicles and actual gear will appreciate this:

Insulated
Drywalled
Loft storage
Built-in shelving
Back-lane access

Garages like this are hard to find at this price.

🌿 Backyard Designed for Real Life

Perfect for pets, gardening, or relaxing:

Large deck off the kitchen
Fenced dog run
Garden planters
Storage shed
Direct garage access

Again—no work required. Just enjoy it.

🏘️ Why McKenzie Lake Continues to Be a SE Buyer Favourite

Move-up buyers and first-time buyers love this community because it offers:

Excellent schools
Fish Creek Park access
Quick commuting routes
Mature trees and quiet streets
Local restaurants, shops, and services moments away

It’s one of those neighbourhoods that stays in demand every single year.

🔑 Immediate Possession = A Huge Advantage

If you’re trying to avoid overlap rent, double mortgage payments, or homelessness between moves, this home is one of the very few on the market that can hand you keys quickly.
