*Listing being temporarily terminated for some home maintenance* Finally something other than the same old bungalows; A refreshingly different fully-finished, 5-bedroom split level home backing onto a quiet green belt, offering an oasis of a backyard & all with a huge oversized garage & driveway! Located on historic Simons Road, one of the oldest roads from Calgary’s earliest days, this home & property must be seen in person to be appreciated & will be a real treat for anyone who loves the sun & enjoying the outdoors but also ideal for any mechanics or hobbyists alike. Take a step inside & you’re first greeted by a living room featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace complete with stone chimney & built-in firewood storage. Your gaze will be drawn upwards by the high vaulted ceilings, not only pleasing to the eye, but offering that liberating feeling of open space. Follow the gorgeous original 3/4” oak floors & next you’ll find a dining area located beside the kitchen, which bathes in natural light thanks to the huge skylights recently installed above. Just a few steps further through the double-doors, & you’re welcomed into the 3-season SUN ROOM! This wonderful room offers 200 sq/ft of space to bask in sunlight throughout the year & an immersive escape that few homes can rival. Another fireplace is found in this room to add heat during the cold seasons, & a back door provides easy access to the backyard, deck & Hot tub. The upper & lower levels offer a stacked 2+2 bedroom layout, with the upper two being larger than below & the option of using either the cool east or the sunny west bedroom as the primary. An updated 5-pc bathroom finishes this floor & offers dual vanities & more of that pleasing vaulted ceiling. On the lower level, two more bedrooms are found & they share a 3-pc bathroom with heated floors. The basement provides a flex space as an additional living room/rec room & leads to a 5th bedroom (with non-egress window) or storage space as needed. S tepping outside to the sunny & totally private southwest backyard, a large deck awaits with plenty of room for outdoor dinners, with a large hot tub for you to melt your stress away on those cold winter nights. The lower patio is the ultimate place to gather around nightly fires & enjoy Calgary’s legendary summers. Don’t forget the green space behind the house, adding a level of privacy that’s so difficult to find, & the perfect off leash area for any dog owner.

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.
