A rare landmark residence in one of Canmore's most coveted settings, this distinguished character home occupies an extraordinary south facing position overlooking the peaceful Millennium Park with uninterrupted majestic views of the Three Sisters & other mountain ranges. More reminiscent of a cherished family estate than a conventional mountain property, the home combines enduring craftsmanship, architectural presence, and an irreplaceable connection to the surrounding landscape. Set among mature trees and established gardens, the residence enjoys a sense of privacy and permanence seldom found so close to downtown Canmore. Classic architectural detailing, cedar accents, handcrafted millwork, stained glass, French doors, crystal chandliers, vintage mantels, and rich hardwood floors create interiors of warmth and authenticity, reflecting a level of character that cannot be replicated in newer construction. Generous principal rooms are filled with natural light and framed by mountain vistas, while thoughtfully designed easy living spaces invite both quiet cozy retreat and effortless gathering. The home's unique turret, grand staircase, detailed woodwork, and carefully considered proportions speak to a tradition of timeless craftsmanship that values substance over fashion.Upstairs, tranquil bedrooms and flexible sitting rooms capture spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. The primary suite opens to a private sunroom with skylights and a fireplace—a serene sanctuary overlooking one of the most iconic mountain landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. Outside, stone pathways, mature landscaping, a garden pond, and expansive outdoor living spaces blend seamlessly with the parkland beyond, creating a rare sense of openness and connection to nature. With Millennium Park as its backdrop and the Three Sisters as its daily view, this is a home defined not simply by its architecture, but by its enduring relationship to nature. Properties of this character and setting are excep tionally rare. Offering timeless appeal, privacy, and one of Canmore's most remarkable locations, this is a residence designed to be enjoyed for generations. (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.
