The action
There are gas fireplaces in two entertaining areas. The one upstairs is next to an open kitchen with an island, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances.eXp Realty
Over several weeks at the end of last year about a dozen groups toured this two-bedroom townhouse roughly six kilometres west of downtown Calgary, but it wasn’t until the new year that two offers were presented. One bid narrowly improved on the other by matching the full asking price.
“Typically, in December, in the North American market, it’s not the best time to list,” said agent Bryon Howard. “But we thought any buyer looking then would be pretty serious.
“It was slow at the start, then we had a bit of activity and we ended up getting two offers that came in fairly close.”

The home is outfitted with a sound system. There are laundry facilities upstairs and heated tile flooring in three out of four bathrooms.

“There are two units at the front facing the street, which I think is more desirable with more front yard space [because] the two units behind these front units have small back yards,” Mr. Howard said.
“It also has modern finishes that are pretty desirable for inner-city, urban buyers.”
Furthermore, local attractions satisfy different lifestyles. “It’s a good, central location, fairly close to great amenities,” Mr. Howard said.
“It has access to downtown and a walkable distance to Marda Loop, and it’s not far from river valley pathways.”
