There are homes that offer space, and homes that offer a setting that is difficult to replace. Located on a ridge lot backing onto the Bow River and pathway system in Diamond Cove, this extensively updated two-storey walkout offers over 4,000 sq ft of developed living space in one of Calgary’s most desirable river communities. Mature trees behind the property provide privacy and a natural backdrop, while the pathway directly behind the home leads down into Fish Creek Park and Calgary’s extensive river pathway network. The main floor opens with a 17-foot foyer, hardwood flooring, and a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A front family room and dedicated main floor office provide flexible spaces for gathering, working from home, or quiet retreat. The mudroom and laundry area include additional storage along with direct access to the double attached garage. At the centre of the home, the kitchen, dining, and living areas connect seamlessly. The kitchen features ceiling-height cabinetry, built-in wall oven and microwave, electric cooktop, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and a walk-in corner pantry. The adjoining dining area is large enough to accommodate formal dinners, holidays, and larger gatherings. Upstairs features four generous-sized bedrooms, all large enough to accommodate queen beds, while the primary suite easily accommodates a full king bedroom set. The primary suite spans over 21 feet in length and includes a bay window sitting area, walk-in closet, and completely renovated 5-piece ensuite with heated floors, heated towel rack, skylight, dual vanities, soaker tub, electric fireplace, and a six-function shower system featuring mist/rain shower heads and four body jets, creating a boutique hotel-inspired retreat within the home. The fully developed walkout basement adds further flexibility with a large recreation area, wet bar, full bathroom, ample storage with built-in shelving, and a large fifth bedroom featuring a la rge walk-in closet and legal egress window. Additional features include two brand new high-efficiency furnaces installed in December 2025, hot water on demand installed in November 2025, updated light fixtures, updated interior doors, updated door casings, updated receptacles including integrated USB outlets, air conditioning, irrigation, gas BBQ line, gas lamps, stamped concrete patio, and an enormous upper deck overlooking the river pathway system and surrounding green space.

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).
