408 1540 17 Avenue Sw, Calgary

Penthouse loft living meets an unbeatable location in this distinctive 2-storey condo perched directly on 17th Avenue SW, right in the heart of Calgary’s vibrant entertainment district. Soaring 20-foot vaulted ceilings and wall-to-wall windows flood the space with natural light, while panoramic city views stretch all the way to Nose Hill Park. Solid concrete floors and designed with extra-thick, insulated party walls, this home offers exceptional soundproofing, so you can enjoy complete peace and privacy, with no noise from neighbouring units. A private breezeway leads into the airy, open-concept main level, where a dramatic living room with a cozy gas fireplace sets the tone, equally perfect for quiet nights in or lively get-togethers. The fireplace has a stove-like profile and sits on a raised tile/hearth area, adding architectural interest and a warm focal point. Just beyond, a versatile den awaits, ready to serve as your home office, reading nook, or creative studio. The kitchen blends industrial edge with everyday function, featuring concrete countertops, full-height cabinetry, and a central island. The island includes an undermount sink with a matte-black gooseneck faucet and room for casual seating. Stainless steel appliances (range and over-the-range microwave, and fridge visible) complement the clean white cabinetry and a subtle tile backsplash, and contemporary track and flush lighting illuminate the space. It flows seamlessly into the dining area, where sliding doors open to the first of two balconies complete with a gas line for effortless summer BBQs. The spacious main-floor bedroom offers French doors to let in the breeze and cheater access to a 4-piece bath, creating a comfortable retreat for residents or guests. In-suite laundry and storage further add to your convenience — the stacked washer/dryer is neatly tucked by the stairs, with additional storage space beneath the stairwell. Upstairs, a skylit loft overlooks the main living area. This adaptable space is perfect as a primary suite, bonus lounge, gym, or hobby room, complete with a large closet and 3-piece bath. From here, step onto your expansive rooftop patio, a private oasis with sweeping skyline views (aerial photos highlight the direct downtown vistas and the walkable 17th Ave corridor). A titled underground parking stall keeps your vehicle secure while you explore one of Calgary’s most walkable neighbourhoods—just steps from the city’s best cafés, restaurants, boutiques, pubs, and breweries. Enjoy the energy of 17th Avenue yet remain tucked far enough away to escape late-night noise. With quick access to Bow River pathways, Sunalta LRT, parks and bike lanes, this home delivers the perfect blend of urban lifestyle, architectural character and everyday convenience. Recently painted and updated with new dark wood-look plank flooring throughout, this loft is truly move-in ready, just unpack and start enjoying your new urban lifestyle. (id:1945)
