Welcome to this exceptionally maintained original-owner villa bungalow, offering over 2,700 sq. ft. of fully developed living space in the highly sought-after Straddock Villas—a hidden estate community prized for its peaceful ambiance, mature tree-lined streets, and exceptional sense of community. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this immaculate bungalow showcases true pride of ownership and an outstanding, well-designed floor plan filled with natural light, elegant arched doorways, and tasteful designer touches throughout.

The spacious living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The king-sized primary bedroom offers a full walk-in closet and a private five-piece ensuite. A three-piece bathroom and convenient main-floor laundry with new washer and dryer (2026) complete this level. Downstairs, the grand staircase leads to a fully developed lower level featuring a third bedroom, a full bathroom, and a large entertainment and recreation area with a second gas fireplace. A dedicated pool table area (pool table included) and generous storage space in the utility room add both function and flexibility. Additional upgrades include a furnace (2019) and air conditioning (2024) and new high end Berber carpet in bedrooms and basement (2025 ). The double attached garage and double driveway provide ample parking and convenience. Minutes to great ravine walking and bike paths. Backs onto a small city green space. Access to a small playground with monkey bars etc for the grandkids. Five minutes walk to Strathcona Square Shopping Centre with grocery and liquor stores, bank, pharmacy, health professionals and restaurants and more.

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.
