1702 Riverside Drive NW — High River, Alberta

Welcome to life in Vista Mirage, where quiet streets, endless walking paths, and family-friendly living come together in one of High River's most peaceful settings.Situated on a larger lot and backing directly onto a beautiful green pathway, this home offers the kind of backyard most families wish they had. One direction leads to a playground, the other to the school, community garden, and extensive walking paths. In other words, the kids can burn off energy without you needing to become their full-time chauffeur.Imagine starting your mornings with a coffee in the backyard while watching the neighbourhood come to life. Whether it's evening walks, bike rides with the family, or simply enjoying the open space behind you, this location delivers a lifestyle that's becoming harder to find.Inside, you'll find a bright and functional layout designed for real life—not just for pretty photos. The main floor offers comfortable living and dining spaces that flow naturally together, while upstairs features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a cozy bonus room complete with a fireplace. It's the perfect spot for movie nights, game days, or pretending you'll finally finish that book you've been carrying around for six months.The fully finished basement adds valuable extra living space and can easily serve as a recreation room, home gym, kids' play area, hobby space, or guest retreat.Now, let's address the obvious: this isn't a brand-new showhome fresh from a designer's Instagram page. Some cosmetic updates could certainly take this home to the next level. But that's also part of the opportunity.

The expensive items are already helping you out.Major updates include:• New Roof (2023)• New Furnace (2024)• New Refrigerator (2025)• New Dishwasher (2025)• New Microwave (2026)The result?
