DP AND PLANS INCLUDED | 75 X120 BUILD LOT/RENOVATION | WALK TO GLENCOE | RIDGE LOT- This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to either update the existing gracious one-and-a-half storey home of nearly 2,700 sq. ft. or build a brand new custom residence on one of Mount Royal’s most desirable ridge lots. The current owners have architectural plans in place for an approximately 4,500 sq. ft. two-storey home with a triple garage, currently awaiting City of Calgary development permit approval. Situated on an incredible 9,300 sq. ft. lot backing onto an environmental reserve, this property offers outstanding privacy, breathtaking sunrise views, and sparkling city lights. The sunny rear yard enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day. The existing home was completely gutted and renovated from the exterior studs inward in 1985. The main floor features large windows on three sides, creating an abundance of natural light throughout the living spaces. For buyers considering a renovation, the layout offers tremendous flexibility, with plumbing already located in three separate areas to accommodate future redesign possibilities. Currently, the home offers 4 generously sized above-grade bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, including main floor laundry and a two-sided gas fireplace shared between the living room and dining room. The lower level includes a spacious recreation room along with 3 additional rooms that could function as bedrooms with the installation of proper egress windows. A Jack-and-Jill style bathroom features dual sinks, separate vanities, and a walk-in shower. Unique to the home is a private walk-up entrance from the lower level to the north side yard, providing convenient exterior access. Additional features include a double attached front garage with an electric vehicle charging station, plus off-street parking for 3 additional vehicles. Perfectly positioned, the home is just a 2-minute walk to the Glencoe Club as well as Earl Grey School and playground. Despite its convenient location on 8th Street, the property experiences remarkably little traffic noise. Several traffic-calming measures—including a 3-way stop at the base of the hill, a tight traffic circle at the top, additional stop signs at Hillcrest and 8th Street, and an extended 30 km/h school zone—help minimize traffic flow. Unlike other major roads in Mount Royal, 8th Street is not a bus route and does not experience heavy through traffic.
