RAVINE LIVING, MINUTES FROM THE CITY. Some homes simply feel different the moment you walk in. This exceptional property backs onto a lush forested ravine, offering rare privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the outdoors that most Calgary homeowners only dream about — all within 15 minutes of downtown. Light pours through large windows on every level, framing ever-changing views of the forest. Whether you are soaking in the standalone tub, working from your lower-level office, or taking your morning coffee on the glass-railed deck, the ravine is always with you. The main floor was made for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A formal living room with gas fireplace flows into a spacious dining room, while the updated kitchen anchors the heart of the home. Updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a showpiece island in leathered granite — a rare and striking finish — make this a kitchen worth lingering in. The family room off the kitchen extends the living space with built-in cabinetry, a second gas fireplace, and direct access to the composite deck with glass railings overlooking the ravine. A main-floor bedroom/home office, updated powder room, and a well-appointed laundry room with utility sink and storage round out the level. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a permanent stay at a luxury hotel. Generous windows fill the room with natural light and ravine views, while the updated spa bathroom — large glass shower, dual sinks, standalone soaker tub — delivers the kind of quiet retreat that makes mornings worth savoring. Two additional large bedrooms, a second updated 3-piece bathroom, and a bonus room with storage complete the upper floor. The fully finished walk-out basement adds remarkable versatility. A large bedroom, open living area with gas fireplace, second home office with ravine-facing window, and a 3-piece bathroom provide space for guests, extended family, or a home gym. Step outside to a stamped concrete patio and you r cedar Arctic Spa hot tub — the perfect place to end the day with forest views and total privacy. The home has been meticulously maintained: Class 4 impact-resistant roof (2021), air conditioning (2021), and dual furnaces serviced annually. Close to shopping, multiple elementary schools, Ernest Manning High School, Westside Recreation Centre, and the 69th Street CTrain station, with easy mountain access — this is a home that delivers on every level.

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).
