    Welcome to 1517 12 Avenue SW, where timeless 1912 character meets modern inner-city living in one of Calgary’s fastest-growing communities—Sunalta. This beautifully updated three-storey home offers over 2,056 square feet of space, featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and the charm of a classic Victorian farmhouse blended with the convenience of today’s lifestyle. From the moment you step inside, the home exudes warmth and authenticity. Original architectural details such as a stained-glass window, wood banister, and clawfoot tub create a sense of heritage, while recent updates including a refreshed kitchen, modernized bathrooms, upgraded lighting, and new plumbing offer peace of mind and everyday comfort. Most windows have been replaced, bringing in abundant natural light throughout the home, and the thoughtful floorplan allows for both family living and entertaining. The main floor features a bright living room, a generous dining space, a charming breakfast nook off the kitchen, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, a dedicated home office or bonus room just off the primary suite, and two full bathrooms.

Located just steps from the Bow River pathway system, Kensington, and downtown Calgary, the property is exceptionally well-connected. It’s only 900 metres to the Sunalta LRT, 500 metres to Connaught School, and just over 1 kilometre to both Mount Royal School and Western Canada High School. Whether walking, biking, or commuting, this location offers unbeatable access to the city’s best. Zoned M-CG d111, the 25’ x 130’ lot presents incredible long-term potential for redevelopment. Whether you envision a duplex, multi-residential project, or a charming laneway home, the zoning offers flexibility for future value. Alternatively, this property is currently turn-key and has proven itself as a successful short-term rental recently generating $15,000 for the month around the Calgary Stampede, even attracting commercial media attention and being featured on the Jordan Peterson podcast.

    Why Choose Inner City Homes in Calgary?

    #1 - Convenient Location

    Location plays a huge role in the high demand and desirability of inner city real estate in Calgary. Close proximity to amenities, services, parks, playgrounds, schools, recreation, and of course, the downtown business core, are just a few benefits of the inner city lifestyle.

    Properties in Calgary's inner city are found in prestigious enclaves on quiet streets with mature vegetation. Paved pathways along the nearby river serve to interconnect residents with amenities and other parts of the city centre with ease.

    Check out Calgaryism's list of the best inner city parks our city has to offer. Chances are a few of them will be near your future property!

    #2 - Modern Living

    Calgary inner city homes often are customized with high-end features that cater to the needs of buyers and their families. New infills are especially desirable, with luxurious characteristics that sometime exceed all expectations. These properties showcase the work of some of the best custom builders in the city, offering sophisticated living in a high-density urban setting.

    What is an infill home anyway, you might ask? Basically there are two different types you can buy in today's residential market:

    #3 - Family-Oriented Communities

    Calgary's inner city neighbourhoods are family-oriented because of their higher density settings. These "tight-knit" communities afford families and friends the opportunity to grow with one another and create lasting memories at nearby parks and amenities.

    Neighbours are usually friendly and will look out for each other's common security and well-being. Schools are also found in abundance near any inner city home in Calgary; most areas have their very own in-community public elementary school with junior and senior highs often within walking distance for mature students. Dropping the kids off at school when they are younger sometimes means just walking down the street a few blocks.

    Parents often save so much time from the conveniences of inner city living that they have another hour or two to spend on more important things in life. Work, study, cooking, or perhaps taking care of your family; less time spent in traffic means more time enjoying the inner city real estate you've worked so hard for to buy and maintain!
