Welcome to 161 Columbia drive, in Saskatoon's River Heights neighbourhood. This 4 level split home was built in 1969 and has seen numerous upgrades over the years. The main floor has been completely renovated to create an open concept, living room, kitchen, dining room. Big windows allow natural light to fill the space. Up on the second floor we have three spacious bedrooms, 2 secondary bedrooms that share a 4 piece bathroom and a primary bedroom with a two piece ensuite. All the windows on the main and 2nd floors have been upgraded. The 3rd floor is actually at ground level allowing you to walk right out to your backyard from here. This level is home to a family room with a striking stone-faced wood burning fireplace, a 4th bedroom, and a 4 piece bathroom with a groovy tub & tile surround. I kinda love it. Down on the fourth floor is what would have been called the rumpus room back in the day. This level is partially below grade, so not included in the square footage, but still has big windows, a bedroom, the laundry area, and a huge amount of storage under the whole 3rd level. This home is built on a corner so few neighbours and lots of privacy in the backyard. Back here you'll enjoy drinking your coffee in the sunshine on the deck while you putter in your flower pots. The side of the house has lawn, a flowering shrub and a shed to keep all the extras. From the backyard is also where you access the single attached garage. Recently the current owners have redone the shingles (2024), most of the windows, the flooring throughout the 2nd, 3rd, and main floors, a brand new kitchen and appliances, toilets replaced, water heater, fence, and deck to name a few. This house is a wonderful home so don't miss out on viewing this property this weekend! (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.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
