About This Property

Nestled on prestigious Elbow Drive, directly across from picturesque park space, green space, and the scenic Elbow River with highly desirable walking and biking paths and a pedestrian bridge, this classic 2½-storey character home offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special property in one of Calgary’s most desirable locations. Offered as an estate sale, this cherished family home has been lovingly enjoyed for many years and is rich with warmth, history, and timeless charm.

The third level adds incredible versatility with a bonus room, flex space, and potential recreation area, all enhanced by charming dormer windows that fill the space with natural light. While the roof has been replaced relatively recently and the exterior remains in solid condition, the interior presents an exciting opportunity for renovation or personalization to suit modern tastes while preserving the home’s original character. Outside, the private west-facing backyard offers a spacious sundeck, multiple patio areas, and an older single detached garage with convenient alley access. Mature landscaping in the front yard, including a beautiful lilac hedge, provides privacy and enhances curb appeal along iconic Elbow Drive.
