This is the kind of home that checks every box — and then a few you forgot to put on the list. Built in 2012 and sitting on a beautifully landscaped lot in Vanier East, this 1,939 sq ft two-storey offers an elevated level of finish and a layout that just works.The main floor sets the tone right away. The living room features laminate flooring, a gas fireplace, built-in wood shelving, and a coffered ceiling that gives the space a solid, refined feel. The kitchen is well-appointed with maple cabinets, quartz counters, a tiled backsplash, pot lights, stainless appliances, and a walk-through pantry that keeps everything organized without sacrificing style. Main floor laundry is tucked into the mudroom — complete with lockers — which is one of those practical touches that makes everyday life noticeably easier.Upstairs, the bonus room above the garage gives you flexible living space with laminate flooring and a built-in bench with shelving — a great spot for a media room, playroom, or a quiet retreat. The primary bedroom is spacious, with a well-finished ensuite featuring a tiled floor, large vanity, and a tiled shower with a glass door, plus a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a 4-piece bath with tiled floor round out the upper level.The basement is unfinished and ready for your vision, but it's already ahead of the game — high-efficiency furnace, high-efficiency hot water tank, roughed-in underfloor heat, a Venmar HVAC system, and central A/C. The mechanical package here is genuinely impressive.Out back is where this property really earns its keep. The vinyl plank deck, cement patio with walkways, and firepit create a backyard that's designed for actual use — not just curb appeal. The lot is nicely treed and landscaped with clean cement edging, and there's a hot tub ready for year-round enjoyment. Hardie plank siding on the exterior and an aggregate concrete driveway out front give the property a polished, low-maintenance finish that holds up to an Alberta climate.Location-wise, Vanier East is a strong neighbourhood — across the street from a playground and park, walking distance to a middle school, and close to the Collicutt Centre and everyday shopping. Hard to beat for families or anyone who values convenience without sacrificing a quiet street feel. (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.
