A smart home purchase is one thing. But a home that pays you back every single month? That changes the conversation. Sitting on a massive 62 foot wide lot with a sun-soaked south backyard, this upgraded and fully suited 5 bedroom bungalow blends lifestyle, flexibility and income potential into one compelling opportunity. Whether you’re a growing family, investor or young buyer looking to offset your mortgage, this is the kind of property that makes financial sense without sacrificing comfort. Inside, this home has undergone a thoughtful refresh featuring charming refinished hardwood floors, repainted walls and replaced Lux windows throughout. The main living + dining spaces flow together seamlessly, creating an inviting setting for everyday life and entertaining alike. The bright kitchen delivers timeless style with herringbone flooring, crisp white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash and a corner stove framed by a sleek hood fan. The primary bedroom comfortably fits a king-sized bed and offers a spacious dual-door closet, while two additional guest bedrooms and a beautifully maintained 4-piece bathroom with stacked laundry complete the upper level. Downstairs, the fully contained 2 bedroom + den opens the door to incredible versatility with approximately $4,000/month in combined income potential. Large egress windows flood the lower level with natural light while the spacious layout, kitchenette, separate laundry and dedicated 3-piece bathroom create a comfortable space tenants or extended family will genuinely enjoy. Outside, the oversized single garage is complemented by an RV gate and additional parking stall designated for the lower-level occupant - a rare and valuable bonus. All this in a central location just 15 minutes to downtown and walking distance to Nose Hill Park, Confederation Park and an off-leash dog area. Opportunities with this much flexibility, functionality and upside don’t sit still for long. (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).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
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. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
