Calgary, AB T2G0M3 906 8 Avenue SE

Imagine finding a "sparkling diamond in the rough"!! Well, look no further as you have found it! This turn of the 20th century 1904 story and a half is located on a glorious and perhaps the best location Inglewood has to offer. Surrounded by three parks including the rear park that backs directly onto the Bow river, only a few steps from the Elbow river that flows majestically into the Bow river and right across from the Calgary Zoo. This property did not flood in the 2013 flood event. The charm of the 1904 house and its long forgotten era remain and some of the special features are high ceilings, a front dining room, ordinal woodwork including large baseboards, claw tub in the main bathroom and a vintage kitchen. The house requires major TLC and the house could be reclaimed back to its original charm but most of the value is in the land and its proximity to both rivers and the river bike path systems. Surrounded by newer and sizable infill homes, that this lot and location will support into the future. From the 2nd floor of this house you can see the Bow river and downtown and any new two story infill would offer magnificent views of the Bow river and the downtown as well. Only a short walk to downtown, walking distance to several outstanding trendy venues and restaurants, including the Dean house restaurant, only a half block away. Hurry on this wonderful opportunity as these types of properties are becoming very rare!
