    One of the last remaining building opportunities on the coveted cul-de-sac block of Riverdale Avenue before Sandy Beach, this 63' x 125' south-backing lot offers an exceptional canvas for your future dream home. Surrounded by executive level residences, the property offers privacy and unmatched access to Calgary’s parks and pathways. Located just half a block from Sandy Beach and the Elbow River Pathway System, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Elbow Park, one of Calgary’s most desirable inner-city communities. Families will appreciate being only 600m from top-rated Elbow Park Elementary School and just 2km from the Glencoe Club—an easy, scenic stroll through beautifully tree-lined streets. Walkability and lifestyle are outstanding, with quick access to the boutiques, cafés, and restaurants along 4th Street and 17th Avenue, while remaining within walking distance of schools at all levels: this address sits within the highly sought-after Elbow Park Elementary, Rideau Park, and Western Canada High School catchment area. The existing home is a ~1884 sq. ft. bungalow featuring a 2+2 bedroom layout, a bright open kitchen, vaulted family room with rear yard access, and a primary bedroom with 3-piece ensuite. While the property is being marketed for its land value and redevelopment potential, the home includes a newer furnace and hot water tank and with a little TLC it could serve as a rental during the planning and design phase. This is a rare opportunity to secure a premier lot in one of Calgary’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, just steps from the river, pathways, parks, schools, and some of the cities finest amenities. Contact us for more information on this rare opportunity!

    Detached Homes in Calgarydetached home for sale in calgary cougar ridge

    One of the best things about owning and living in a detached home in Calgary is independence. Compared to living in a townhome or condominium, there are no association fees and no need to worry about common property being damaged.

    In unfortunate occurrences, some condo and townhome owners are stuck with special assessments that range anywhere from a couple thousand to five figures. This could be because of improper construction techniques, or perhaps a water leak that was caused by an owner.

    Calgary detached homes for sale are your best bet if you desire full responsibility for your own property. While you may have more home maintenance to do as a result, it may be worth it knowing you have full control of what goes on inside and outside of your residence.

    Pros of Detached Homes

    The pros of living in a detached home are hard to look past for many home buyers. If you are currently browsing detached homes for sale in Calgary, here's a few of the positives to expect:

    • Stand-alone home
    • More living space inside
    • More yard space outside
    • Better variety of home features and floor plans
    • Improved privacy
    • Independent ownership
