180° PANORAMIC DOWNTOWN & BOW RIVER VIEWS | PRIVATE CORNER LOT | 1,983 SQ FT | 2 ENSUITE BEDROOMS | WALKOUT BASEMENT | ATTACHED DOUBLE GARAGE | PROTECTED URBAN FOREST | Perched along the Crescent Heights escarpment with one of Calgary’s most spectacular outlooks, this custom-built home offers unobstructed 180-degree views spanning the downtown skyline, Bow River Valley, Centre Street Bridge, Prince’s Island Park and, on clear days, the Rocky Mountains. Owned by the same family since the early 1960s, this remarkable property represents a rare piece of Calgary history in an irreplaceable setting. Designed and custom built by renowned Calgary architect Wolfgang H. Wenzel in 1992, the residence sits on a private corner lot with only one neighbouring property. Protected City of Calgary Urban Forest borders the home to the south and west, preserving its privacy, setting and views. Thoughtfully designed around its elevated location, the home was built with specialized architectural and structural engineering to maximize its extraordinary escarpment setting. The natural bluff provides elevation, privacy and dramatic sight lines unmatched anywhere in the city, with exceptionally rare views from nearly every principal living space. Expansive south and west-facing windows fill the home with natural light. The main floor offers a remarkable view and bright living room, dining area with access to the balcony, kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and granite countertops, private office/den, full bathroom and convenient laundry. Step onto the balcony and take in an ever-changing backdrop of the Bow River Valley, downtown skyline, spectacular sunsets and even Calgary’s firework displays. Upstairs, the spacious primary retreat enjoys sweeping south-facing views and features a walk-in closet and private 5-piece ensuite. A second generously sized bedroom also includes a walk-in closet and 3-piece ensuite. Completing this level is a family and sitting room with built-in wet bar and a brig ht sunroom, creating another exceptional space to enjoy the skyline and river valley views. The large walkout basement offers 950 sqft of unfinished space opening directly onto the rear patio. Already plumbed for a sink and toilet, this flexible level offers excellent potential for a games room, gym, studio, entertainment space or future guest/in-law suite. Two storage rooms, including a cool pantry ideal for wine and preserves, add valuable functionality. Additional features include in-floor heating in concrete throughout every level, three skylights replaced in 2025, HRV system, central vacuum, an insulated double attached garage, and low-maintenance landscaping with a terraced garden and perennial beds. Located steps from the Rotary Park and its off-leash dog area, with tennis and lawn bowling nearby and downtown Calgary a 15-minute walk away, this is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally distinctive home in one of Calgary’s most remarkable inner-city locations.
