Experience a truly distinctive living space in the heart of Parkdale with this architecturally unique multi-level home, situated just one block from the Bow River Pathways and boasting easy access to the downtown core. Designed by architect William Roderick Crocker, this post-modernist gem draws inspiration from modern church design and the breathtaking mountainous landscape of Alberta.
The exterior of the home is a visual masterpiece, characterized by long horizontal windows, diagonal exterior walls, and multiple bubble windows reminiscent of the iconic Guggenheim Museum of Art. Step inside, and the main floor welcomes you with an open layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, a spacious living room, and a separate dining area—all adorned with beautiful oak hardwood floors. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring granite counters, upgraded appliances, a slate wall, and a convenient eating bar.

The backyard even includes a fully installed monkey bar and hanging bar set, along with a lower deck perfect for a full-size trampoline.
Location is key, and this home is ideally situated within a block of the river, the river pathway system, and multiple bus routes.

In the heart of Parkdale, this residence is surrounded by playgrounds and green spaces, including Helicopter Park, Westmount Charter School Playground, and Train Park.
Every window frames a unique view of the yard, community, and green spaces, with glimpses of downtown and New Year's Eve fireworks from the loft. The recently landscaped backyard and side yard create a beautiful green oasis, offering both shade and sun in the summer.
