*** OPEN HOUSE Saturday, June 27, 2026 2-4PM *** Rarely do you find a great opportunity like this in Calgary’s inner-city. This home sits on a massive footprint of over 1,600 square meters—making it one of the biggest lots in Fairview. The classic 3-level split offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and over 1,600 sq. ft. of total living space. While the interior is original and awaits your modern updates, it has been spotlessly maintained. It is the perfect setup for a premium renovation, a straightforward fix-and-flip, or a major redevelopment project subject to city approval.The real value here is the lot and its location. The sprawling backyard looks right onto the back lane with immediate access to Flint Park and the Fairview Pump Track. Backing onto this permanent green space means extra privacy, quiet surroundings, and no rear neighbors.For families or future buyers, the convenience is tough to beat. Kids can walk to top-tier neighborhood schools like Le Roi Daniels, Fairview, and St. Matthew in minutes. You are also just down the road from the local shops on Fairmount Drive, and a quick 5-minute drive to Chinook Centre, Deerfoot Meadows, Costco, and IKEA. Commuting is incredibly easy with fast access to Macleod, Glenmore, and Blackfoot Trail. Whether you want to renovate a solid home with incredible equity potential, buy and hold as a rental, or build a custom dream home on a rare piece of land, this property delivers. Lots this size in Fairview almost never hit the market. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
