Built in 2000 and well cared for, this inner-city half duplex offers nearly 2,900 sq ft of total living space across three levels and is move-in ready. The main floor features hardwood floors, 9 ft ceilings, a corner gas fireplace, open kitchen, and a large dining room that flows well for entertaining. A spiral staircase leads to the upper level where you'll find two generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private balcony, oversized walk-in closet, jetted tub, separate shower, and dual sinks. The loft above works well as a home office, TV room, or reading nook. The fully developed basement adds a third bedroom with large windows and walk-in closet, a games room, and laundry. A newer high efficiency furnace has been installed. The pie-shaped lot runs 140 ft deep with mature trees, a patio, and a detached double garage (24x21). The backyard looks directly onto Highland Valley Park, one of the larger green spaces in the inner city. Brightpath childcare and James Fowler High School are nearby, with straightforward access to Centre Street, downtown, Deerfoot, and the airport. This is a solid, well-built home in a central location. Contact a REALTOR® to schedule your private viewing. (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).
