it an excellent opportunity for redevelopment potential. Heading inside, a fully enclosed front porch greets you – bright, welcoming, and perfect as a sunroom or mudroom through Calgary’s changing seasons.

The main floor layout is functional and thoughtfully arranged, offering two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a sunny south-facing den/office—ideal for working from home or a quiet reading nook. The kitchen is bright and practical, with ample cabinetry, a gas stove and an adjoining breakfast nook, plus convenient access to the backyard. Take the party outside onto the large back deck, & private fully fenced-in yard complete with mature trees, perfect for those summer BBQs & dog-lovers! Downstairs, the full unfinished basement provides excellent storage today and clear future potential, whether you plan to renovate, expand, or hold as a long-term investment. The cherry on top is a detached double garage with lane access—a highly valuable feature in this location & no condo or HOA fees to go along with it.
