Open House June 14 from noon to 2 pm!! This well-maintained 884 sq. ft. bungalow captures classic mid-century Calgary charm on a quiet, mature tree-lined street just steps from the vibrant energy of 17th Avenue. Showcasing true pride of ownership, the property features durable, low-maintenance stucco siding, a practical front parking pad, and a rare, massive 50-foot wide lot that gives you an expansive backyard oasis right in the inner city. The east-facing front exposure allows for beautiful morning light to pour into the main living space, making breakfast and your morning coffee a perfect way to start the day. Despite being so close to 17th Avenue and downtown, the unique positioning and depth of the lot create a surprisingly private and peaceful setting.Inside, the thoughtfully designed main floor maximizes every square foot with an airy, functional layout and an abundance of natural light throughout. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms divided across two levels, with the ultimate bonus being the fully finished walkout basement. This lower level transforms into the perfect entertainment zone or private guest suite, complete with a functional wet bar for hosting weekend game nights.The walkout design and exceptional lot width open the door to incredible future potential, including the opportunity to capture sweeping city skyline views. Whether you choose to enjoy the property exactly as it is today, build a massive detached garage, or plan a future dream development, the possibilities are rare for this location. All of this comes while being moments from top-tier restaurants, boutique shopping, schools, and direct transit lines, yet still tucked within a peaceful residential pocket. (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).
