Nestled among the trees in the sought-after community of Discovery Ridge, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, warmth, and connection to nature, all while being minutes from the conveniences of city living. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful brick façade and welcoming front entrance set the tone for the character found throughout the home. Step inside and you are greeted by rich hardwood flooring, natural light, and a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where thoughtful design meets timeless style. Sage green and maple cabinetry pair beautifully with stone countertops, open shelving, faux brick backsplash detailing, and under-shelf lighting, creating a space that feels elevated yet inviting. Whether preparing dinner on the gas range, gathering around the oversized island, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this kitchen was designed to be lived in and loved. The open-concept main floor flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, where floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with sunlight throughout the day fro the South exposure. A modern gas fireplace anchors the living room, creating a cozy atmosphere while still feeling bright and airy. Just off the dining area, doors lead you outside to a backyard that feels like your own private escape. Surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, the outdoor space offers privacy rarely found in the city. The expansive deck with privacy panelling creates the perfect setting for summer dinners, morning coffees, or evenings spent unwinding outdoors. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a layout that balances comfort and functionality. The primary suite features cathedral ceilings, large windows, a walk-in closet, and an updated ensuite with a deep soaker tub and tiled shower with built-in niches. Two additional bedrooms, an upper laundry area with side-by-side washer and dryer, folding counter and shelving, plus another full bathroom com plete the upper level. The fully finished basement adds even more living space with a large recreation area ideal for movie nights, a home gym, kids’ play space, or future guest accommodations. With the ability to easily create a fourth bedroom, the basement offers excellent flexibility. One of the most unique aspects of this property is its layout. While technically classified as a semi-detached home, the only shared portion with the neighbouring property is part of the garage wall, meaning the home itself lives much more like a fully detached property, offering an uncommon blend of privacy and practicality. Living in Discovery Ridge means access to Griffith Woods Park, Elbow River pathways, tennis and pickleball courts, skating rink, playgrounds, and endless walking trails just moments away. With quick access to Stoney Trail and nearby amenities at Signal Hill, Westhills, and Aspen Landing, this home offers the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and city living. (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.
