Mountain living in the heart of downtown Canmore—designed to be experienced.Created by the award-winning team at Russell & Russell and built by Allweather Builders, this steel, post and timber frame home blends striking architecture with a refined Scandinavian-inspired interior. Wrapped in Yakisugi fire-charred siding, the exterior sets the tone for the level of design carried throughout.The standout feature is the expansive third-floor rooftop terrace—complete with hot tub—where panoramic views stretch across Lady Macdonald, Grotto, the Three Sisters, Ha Ling, and the Rundle Range. Whether it’s quiet mornings or evenings spent entertaining, this space delivers something truly special.Inside, the second level offers a bright, open-concept living area with 9-foot ceilings, a sleek, modern kitchen, dining space, and family room. Large windows and patio sliders on both sides flood the home with natural light and frame mountain views in every direction. Custom stairs lead to a flexible upper space—perfect as a media room, office, or retreat—with direct access to the rooftop deck.The main level features two spacious primary suites, each with its own ensuite, creating a functional and private layout for owners and guests. Wake up to alpenglow on Rundle, and wind down in a spa-inspired steam shower. A low-maintenance enclosed courtyard connects to a detached single garage and additional carport, while also offering a private outdoor space ideal for entertaining or pets. Thoughtful design continues above, where environmentally conscious features—including live grass roof elements and integrated solar—add efficiency without compromising the home’s clean architectural lines.All of this, just steps from the Bow River, Nordic Centre, and Canmore’s best restaurants, shops, and trails. If this is your kind of lifestyle, let’s go take a look—you’ll feel the light, the calm, and the connection to the mountains the moment you walk in. (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.
