About 4310 54 Avenue
There is nothing ordinary about this one. Known locally as the *Bear House*, this incredibly unique Olds property has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind retreat with the unmistakable feel of a private hunting lodge, right in town. Mature trees, natural wood, stone, handcrafted details, bears, wildlife, dragons and creative lighting are woven throughout an unbelievable amount of landscaping that truly has to be seen to be appreciated.
Sitting on a large, beautifully developed lot, the outdoor space feels like its own little world. Wander through established trees and gardens, gather around the firepit, putter in the greenhouse, or enjoy the covered three-season sunroom tucked into this incredibly private setting. A garden, storage shed and two additional parking spaces off the back alley add plenty of practicality to all that personality.
Inside, the home is exceptionally clean, bright and very well cared for, offering 870 sq. ft. above grade plus a fully developed lower level. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, while warm wood finishes continue the lodge-inspired character. The kitchen has been refreshed with new countertops and appliances less than a year old, the home was freshly painted in 2020, and a brand-new roof adds another significant recent improvement.
The fully developed lower level offers excellent additional living space, including a large recreation room and adjoining bathroom that could easily function as a spacious primary suite, guest retreat or private hangout. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms overall, there is plenty of flexibility in the layout.
Outside, the oversized single detached garage offers considerably more room than simply parking a vehicle, with excellent additional storage space. The driveway has been rubber sealed, while rear parking provides additional space for vehicles or toys.
This is not a cookie-cutter house, and that is entirely the point. It is distinctive, exceptionally cared for, surprisingly private and absolutely packed with character. For the buyer who would rather have a backyard that feels like a wilderness retreat than another patch of lawn, the Bear House may be exactly what they've been waiting for.
