Beautiful family home close to the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac and surrounded by Canada’s second-largest urban park, our spacious family home offers the perfect mix of city convenience and nature’s charm. Stretching 19 km (12 mi) across the city, the park is right on our doorstep, and it’s not unusual to spot deer, squirrels, and other wildlife roaming the yard and neighborhood.
Our 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home provides plenty of space for your entire group. The open-concept layout includes two cozy living rooms, a large dining area, and a central kitchen designed for gatherings. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or taking advantage of easy access to the park, this peaceful spot is ideal for families looking for comfort and adventure.
We offer a mini-van that seats 7 people for exchange.
