Classic mid-century charm in Brentwood!!! This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home, with over 2200 square feet of living space, has been meticulously (as in floors scrubbed with nail brushes meticulous) maintained and updated since its construction in 1960. The community itself is highly sought after due to its proximity to all of your essential amenities, major transit routes, the University and hospital, and quick access to the downtown core. Brighton Drive is tucked quietly away, and just off Charleswood, putting most of these things within walking distance. From the moment you step inside, the character of this home shines through. The main level showcases original hardwood flooring and a beautifully preserved contoured ceiling finish, capturing the essence of mid-century style. Bay windows open to a large front yard and mature trees, featuring the wide neighbourhood streets found only in these older heritage communities. The spacious family room is anchored by a true statement piece—a Freestanding Porcelain Enamel Finished Fireplace in iconic Aztec Orange, adding warmth and architectural flair you simply won’t find in newer homes.With four fully developed levels, this home provides an exceptional amount of space and flexibility for families of all sizes. The upper level features three generous bedrooms, while the lower levels offer two additional bedrooms plus an office / den or flex space — ideal for any combination of lifestyle and family needs. In total, the home includes two full bathrooms and one half bath, all thoughtfully maintained and updated.Step outside and you’ll discover a beautifully established yard that truly sets this property apart. Mature trees provide privacy and shade, while thoughtfully curated garden beds offer a lush, serene setting for outdoor enjoyment. Whether you’re an avid gardener or simply appreciate a peaceful backyard retreat, this space delivers with seasonal colour, room to relax, and plenty of space for entertaining.Significant mecha nical upgrades ensure peace of mind, including a newer roof and windows, plus a furnace and humidifier replaced in 2024. A modern tankless hot water system provides on-demand efficiency and convenience. Completing the property is a massive oversized and over-height double detached garage, equipped with a gas heater—perfect for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or additional workspace year-round.Located in one of northwest Calgary’s most established neighbourhoods, Brentwood offers unbeatable access to parks, shopping, transit, and the University, making this an ideal opportunity for both families and investors. Several of the rooms have been virtually staged as the home has more space than the current owners have need for. (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.
