1640 15 Street Se, Calgary

Located in the heart of Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood, this remarkable property is the crown jewel of Inglewood, a gem with endless potential. The accompanying aerial photos highlight the lot’s generous footprint within the neighbourhood and the property’s proximity to downtown, with the Calgary skyline visible in the distance. This extraordinary property is situated on an impressive lot, offering one and a half times the standard lot-size in the neighbourhood! The lot is 37.6’ by 129’ and is zoned R-CG - offering potential for development while also offering the versatility of enhancing the existing home. The aerial also shows rear lane access, the attached garage and parking pad, and the mature tree canopy that helps create privacy. The original residence, dating back to the 1920’s, exudes timeless charm. The classic design showcases architectural brilliance with formal and informal spaces thoughtfully integrated, with intricate details and stunning millwork, a nod to the home’s heritage. The family room is centered around a traditional fireplace, enveloped with striking wood details that complement the wood floors. The fireplace houses a cast-iron wood-burning stove set in an exposed brick surround with a substantial wooden mantle, adding character and warmth. For intimate evenings, the formal dining room showcases curio cabinetry alongside lavish pillars. The main level hosts two generous bedrooms, with an ornate bathroom that features an enchanting soaker tub; photos of the main-level bath also show a rich, dark-wood vanity, mirrored medicine cabinet and tile flooring that complement the historic styling. In 1980, a substantial two-storey addition innovatively extended the home, marrying timeless elegance and modern convenience. The main level of the addition offers a warm, wood-toned kitchen, tastefully upgraded in 2017 – alongside a secondary family room, while the upper floor addition showcases three additional bedrooms. The new primary retreat has a spacious walk-through closet that leads you to the newly remodelled four-piece bathroom. Downstairs, the undeveloped lower level provides further versatility, complete with a developed half-bath (shown with a contemporary vanity and tile flooring) and separate entrance, this level could be ideal for future suite development – pending city requirements and approvals. With appropriate approvals the property could be reimaged as a triplex by dividing the front and rear sections and converting the original dining room into a second kitchen, further enhancing the potential of this residence. For multi-generational families – the main level bedrooms could provide an opportunity for elderly family members. The outdoor experience features a spacious, fenced backyard with lush lawn, mature trees and a private rear patio/deck area accessed from the main level — perfect for outdoor living and entertaining — and features a single attached garage with a parking pad. Evening exterior photos illustrate warm outdoor lighting and a private, enclosed yard. Inglewood offers urban convenience and a lifestyle that places an emphasis on the outdoors. This walkable community offers award-winning dining, boutiques, cafes, and live music venues. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Bow River pathways, Harvie Passage, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, while commuters benefit from quick access to downtown. This residence is close to The Calgary Zoo, with the seller sharing a little secret – from time to time, you can hear the lions roar from within the home, a memorable experience. With its exceptional redevelopment potential, pristine condition, and outstanding location, this is a rare opportunity to own a once in a lifetime property and a piece of Calgary’s Heritage. ** Carpets, Paint, Upper Bath (2025) Main Windows (2024), Roof, Kitchen, Electrical, Lighting, Plumbing (2017), Dual furnaces (2010/2015).
