LOVINGLY CARED FOR 2-STOREY FAMILY HOME WITH A BACKYARD OASIS STEPS FROM YMCA & THE GENESIS CENTRE! From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a home that has been thoughtfully cared for and continuously improved by its’ owners over the years. Significant time and money have been invested into creating both a functional family home and an outdoor space that truly stands out—from the charming half-height wrought iron fence & xeriscaped front yard to the fully landscaped backyard complete with a pergola, privacy screens & a fire pit area. On weekends? Spend the afternoon at the Genesis Centre & YMCA, walk over to the nearby Saddlecreek Ponds, then come home to relax in your sun-drenched South-facing living room. Stepping inside, the main floor welcomes you with warm laminate flooring, an elegant bay window in the living room, and an open-concept layout. The kitchen offers ample cabinet space, newer counters, under mount sink, a corner pantry, and opens up onto the back deck. The back deck is practically begging to become your go-to spot for morning coffees, featuring a cozy sitting area, low-maintenance artificial turf & added privacy screens. Back inside, there’s also a convenient half bath on the main floor for guests. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and a full 4pc bathroom, including rooms overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Downstairs, the fully finished basement adds even more functional living space with a large recreation room, a 4th bedroom currently being used as a study, another full 4-piece bathroom, and a spacious laundry room complete with additional storage & utility sink. Stepping outside into the backyard, the entire outdoor space has been thoughtfully cared for and designed to create a private backyard oasis. Enjoy summer BBQs & unwind beneath the pergola, gather around the fire pit with friends and pets (fully fenced-in!), or start a home garden in the beds. There’s even a large shed for extra storage and alley access at the rear of the property. Located close to several notable amenities including Nelson Mandela High School, Saddlecreek Ponds, playgrounds, Saddletowne Plaza, Shoppers Drug Mart, Chalo FreshCo, restaurants, transit, and the Genesis Centre/YMCA. Access to the rest of the city is easy through several major roadways nearby including Stoney Trail, Métis Trail & McKnight Blvd. Jumping in the car: Downtown is a 22 min drive (19.2KM), Airport is a 11 min drive (6.1KM), & Banff is a 1hr 37 min drive (145KM).

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.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
