$1,150,000

There are houses, and then there are homes that have a soul. Set beneath the magnificent tree canopy of Rosedale’s coveted 4A Street - an officially recognized Heritage Designated streetscape celebrated for its remarkable sequence of mature lilac and elm trees - sits this enchanting 1912 1½-storey home. A rare piece of Calgary history, beautifully preserved for more than a century. Offering 1,764 sq ft above grade, it is filled with warmth, craftsmanship and details that simply cannot be recreated today. From the classic stucco exterior and generous front porch to the custom front door designed by the current owner with inlaid stained glass, this home captivates from the moment you arrive. Inside, wood shutters dress the windows while beautiful millwork, built-ins, vintage hardware and remarkable original-style doorknobs speak to an era when even the smallest details mattered. A charming main-floor office features custom bookshelves and a window seat with hidden storage. The open living and dining rooms are made for gathering, with a wood-burning fireplace, beautifully detailed ceiling with wood beams and a built-in dining room hutch. Then there is the kitchen - a true chef’s dream. Crown molding and striking copper countertops surround an exceptional collection of professional-grade appliances including a Viking 6-burner gas range with oven, additional built-in Viking wall oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and Miele dishwasher. An adjoining butlers pantry with custom millwork provides outstanding storage. A generous main-floor bedroom with two closets and a 3-piece bathroom complete this level. Upstairs feels like its own charming retreat, with a cozy sitting room, two additional bedrooms and a spacious 4-piece bathroom featuring a stunning clawfoot tub. And while the character is extraordinary, so is the care invested in this home. Raised in the 1960s with a substantial cinderblock basement, recent improvements include a NEW furnace, hot water tank, electrical p anel, air conditioning and gutters. Outside, professional landscaping creates a private garden sanctuary with gorgeous established perennials, paving stones, raised flower and garden beds, in-ground irrigation and professionally wired landscape lighting. The oversized single detached garage is fully finished and heated. All of this in one of Calgary’s most coveted inner-city communities, minutes from downtown, SAIT, Confederation Park, pathways, golf, restaurants and amenities. You can build new, but you cannot recreate more than a century of history, craftsmanship and soul. Meticulously and lovingly cared for, this remarkable Rosedale home is ready for the next chapter of its story. (id:58126)
