The action
There is heated tile flooring in the foyer and an open kitchen with high gloss cabinetry, an island with a waterfall-edge design, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range.CIR Realty
Launched at the start of patio season, the 500-square-foot terrace equipped with a wet bar and barbecue on this three-storey townhouse, as well as its unobstructed views east towards downtown Calgary, were a hit with buyers,
“There were some townhouses with outdoor space or rooftop patios maybe one fourth the size, so there wasn’t a lot of direct competition for ours,” said agent Joel Gwillim.
“We had an offer fairly early on, but it was subject to a sale out east in Ontario, which was cooking and seemed like a no-brainer. But they couldn’t sell their home to facilitate the purchase here.”
Forced to start over, the sellers moved to reignite interest in the 1,506-square-foot space by cutting the asking price by $25,000. After six weeks, a deal was negotiated for $755,000.
“The price point pushed us into entry-level, single-family homes in the area, so people were saying they could get a townhouse that’s really cool or something with their own yard and no condo fees,” Mr. Gwillim said.
“But it’s really good quality [home] in a good location within a more affordable price tag at the end of the day.”

“[The other townhouses] have similar layouts, but this has an extra bedroom/den on the main level,” Mr. Gwillim said.
“For the home’s age, the finishes were a higher quality and standard than you’d get for that era.”
