There’s a difference between downsizing and settling—and 42 Vista Close proves you don’t have to do the latter. Tucked into a quiet 40+ adult community in desirable Vanier Woods, this custom-built bungalow was thoughtfully designed for buyers who want an easier lifestyle without giving up comfort, quality, or space. From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership is clear. The home has been exceptionally maintained, beautifully updated, and carefully designed to support comfortable day-to-day living for years to come.
Offering 1,296 Sq.Ft. above grade plus a fully developed basement, this home features 3 Bedrooms plus an Office, 2.5 Bathrooms, and an oversized heated Double Garage. The HOA takes care of lawn care and snow removal, creating the kind of lock-and-leave convenience many buyers are searching for. Combined with underground sprinklers, artificial turf, and low-maintenance landscaping, the exterior was designed to be enjoyed rather than worked on.
Inside, the spacious front entryway opens into a warm and inviting main floor finished with hardwood flooring throughout the primary living spaces. The Kitchen combines both function and style with granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a corner pantry, and a large centre island with additional storage on the front side. Whether you’re cooking for family or hosting friends, the open flow between the Kitchen, Dining, and Living areas creates a comfortable and connected atmosphere. The Living Room is centred around a gas fireplace, making it an especially cozy place to relax in the evenings or enjoy quiet mornings at home.
The Primary Suite offers a spacious retreat with a walk-in closet and a well-appointed 4-piece Ensuite featuring dual vanities and a walk-in shower. A dedicated Office near the front of the home provides flexibility for reading, hobbies, or working from home, while the large main floor Laundry Room and thoughtful storage throughout make everyday routines simple and practical.
Downstairs, the fully developed basement adds the kind of extra space that allows downsizing to feel comfortable instead of restrictive. A bar area with beverage fridge and room for a games table creates a great setup for entertaining, while the large Family Room offers plenty of room to gather with friends and family. The spacious Rec Room includes a built-in 3-person sauna and could easily function as a gym, theatre room, hobby area, or additional lounge space depending on your needs. Two additional Bedrooms—including one with a walk-in closet—and a full 4-piece Bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for overnight guests or visiting family. The lower level flooring was replaced last year, adding to the home’s fresh and well-cared-for feel.
The backyard continues the low-maintenance lifestyle this property was built around. The covered vinyl deck, hanging lights, gas BBQ hookup, fenced yard, artificial turf, underground sprinklers, and moveable shed create a private and relaxing outdoor space that requires very little upkeep. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening outside or hosting family during the summer months, the space feels comfortable, cozy, and easy to maintain.
Additional features throughout the home include Central A/C, hot water on demand, reverse osmosis with fridge hookup, Central Vacuum, Gemstone lighting on the front eaves, solar panels with owner rebates, yearly furnace and hot water tank servicing, and 240V power in the heated garage along with two storage hoists. The home was repainted two years ago, the stove is only one year old, and the property will be professionally cleaned with carpets shampooed prior to possession.
Beyond the property itself, the location adds even more appeal. Vanier Woods is known for its walking trails, green spaces, and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, medical services, and everyday amenities throughout Red Deer. Parks and playgrounds nearby make it easy when grandkids come to visit, while transit stops less than 200 metres away and quick access to both 30 Avenue and 19 Street help keep everything within reach.
For buyers looking to simplify life without sacrificing comfort, space, or quality, 42 Vista Close offers a rare combination of thoughtful design, low-maintenance living, and pride of ownership in one of Red Deer’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
