    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. The outdoor space is a true urban oasis—fully landscaped with high-end artificial turf and a built-in putting green, offering low-maintenance enjoyment year-round. 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. Whether you’re looking to plant roots in a vibrant community, invest in a rare inner-city lot, or secure a property with income potential and development upside, 1517 12 Avenue SW is a unique opportunity you won’t want to miss.

    Southwest Calgary Communities

    If you're an avid Rocky Mountain visitor, you'll surely be interested in southwest homes for sale in Calgary. Getting to and from the foothills and Rockies to the west is quick to do and you'll avoid major traffic when leaving the city.

    Many southwest communities enjoy beautiful landscapes with valleys and hills amid aspen groves and fresh bodies of water. Panoramic views of the mountains to the west or perhaps the downtown skyline to the east aren't unusual for many southwest Calgary homes for sale.

    Downtown communities - located in the southwest quadrant - enjoy a convenient lifestyle close to where all the action happens in Calgary. Redevelopment in areas like East Village, Victoria Park and now plans for West Village are revitalizing the City Centre and infusing it with Western Canadian culture while creating new event and festival hubs in the process.

    Highly sought-after inner city neighbourhoods like Altadore and Killarney offer the opportunity for an inner city lifestyle in a new infill development. Meanwhile, new suburban communities like Shawnee Slopes, Discovery Ridge, Walden and Aspen are all excellent places for families to grow and create lasting memories with one another.

    Southwest Calgary Parks & Amenities

    Southwest residents have ample access to some of Calgary's best private schools. Webber Academy, Calgary Academy, Rundle Academy and the Edge School for Athletes are just a few of the more prominent private schools and are a huge appeal to many buyers when browsing properties for sale in southwest Calgary.

    Chinook Mall, Calgary's largest indoor shopping centre, is found a few minutes south of downtown on the corner of Glenmore and Macleod Trails. Southcentre Mall is a bit further south and is also an excellent mall with hundreds of restaurants, shops and services.

    Repsol Sport Centre is located south of the Beltline in Lindsay Park and on the Elbow River. It's the largest indoor recreation centre in the city, but Cardel Rec South and Westside Recreation Centre aren't far behind in terms of facilities, programs and community involvement.

    The Glenmore Reservoir, Weaslehead Flats and Fish Creek Provincial Park are the three largest outdoor recreational parks used by thousands of Calgarians daily. Fish Creek is also home to Sikome Lake, a man-made lake open for summer.
