Opportunity knocks with this beautifully maintained, fully developed family bungalow set on a large south-facing corner lot — one of the largest in the community! Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the bright, open layout. The impressive living room features soaring vaulted ceilings with massive brand-new windows and blinds creating a warm and inviting space. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of room to cook and gather, complete with a new sink, new cooktop, new dishwasher, new countertops, a built-in wall oven, and newer refrigerator. Just off the kitchen is the open dining area — ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining, as it seamlessly connects to the kitchen and living room. A nearby door leads to the mudroom and access to the fully developed lower level. With its own private exterior entrance, the lower level offers excellent potential to be configured as a self-contained living space if desired. The main floor includes a generous primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a renovated 2-piece ensuite. Two additional bedrooms are both bright and well sized, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Downstairs you’ll find a large family room, two more bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, and a massive laundry room with extensive built-ins and soaker sink. Storage is abundant throughout the home, with four dedicated storage rooms plus numerous built-in cabinets and shelving. The outdoor space is just as impressive. A private concrete patio off the back door provides a great place to relax before stepping out to the expansive south-facing backyard, complete with a fire pit area — perfect for enjoying sunny days and outdoor gatherings. There is also an over sized shed with its own power which is super handy when looking for items. The insulated double garage includes a workshop area making it ideal for projects or hobbyists. Although the property carries an Elbow Drive address, the corner lot location means the home is accessed fr om a quiet side street, offering safer entry, easier access, and plenty of additional street parking. Ideally located close to shopping, public transit, parks, green spaces, schools, and major routes, this home delivers outstanding convenience in one of Calgary’s most established central neighbourhoods. A fantastic opportunity in a location that truly can’t be beat! (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.
