RENOVATED TOP FLOOR SUNALTA CONDO | VAULTED CEILING | HUGE BALCONY | WALK TO AMENITIES & LRT!Set in a quaint pocket of Sunalta, this updated top floor, end unit condo delivers the kind of character, comfort and convenience that make inner-city living so appealing. The vaulted ceiling and unique floor plan give the home a sense of openness that feels larger than expected, while thoughtful improvements, a huge private balcony and excellent in-suite storage add to the everyday livability. With the Sunalta LRT station just a short walk away, and downtown, 17th Avenue, local parks and neighbourhood services all easily accessible, this home offers a connected lifestyle in a setting that still feels calm, comfortable and easy to enjoy.The unit itself is bright, functional and thoughtfully designed, with a layout that makes excellent use of the square footage. The kitchen is a real highlight, offering a larger footprint than many comparable condos, along with generous cabinet storage, smart organization, ample prep space and a raised eating bar that adds flexibility for quick meals or conversation while cooking. The living room is spacious and inviting, with large patio doors bringing in natural light and opening directly onto the oversized balcony with downtown skyline views, creating a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee or warm summer nights. The generously sized bedroom includes a large closet and is adjacent to the tastefully renovated 4-piece bathroom, while the full-size in-suite washer and dryer add practical function and day-to-day ease.One of the most unique features of this property is the loft-style in-suite storage area, which is not included in the registered square footage and provides valuable extra room for seasonal items, luggage, outdoor gear or anything you want tucked away but still close at hand. Energized parking is another welcome feature, especially through the winter months. The combination of modern finishes, in-suite laundry, impressive outdoor space and smart storage makes this home especially functional for inner-city condo living.The neighbourhood is loved for its central location, established character and easy access to some of Calgary’s best urban amenities. From here, you can walk to the Sunalta LRT station, connect quickly to downtown or head toward 17th Avenue for dining, coffee, shopping, fitness studios and everyday conveniences. Royal Sunalta Park and the Calgary Tennis Club are just a block away, and numerous off-leash parks are also within easy walking distance. Whether you are a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor looking for a beautifully maintained and easy-to-enjoy property, this home offers a low-maintenance lifestyle in one of Calgary’s premier inner-city communities. Welcome Home. (id:65958)

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).

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.
