A rare, custom-built hillside bungalow from the 1960s, this home is packed with architectural personality and ready for its next great chapter. Designed with intention and craftsmanship that’s hard to replicate today, the completely unique floor plan offers an exceptional canvas for a thoughtful renovation or inspired redesign. The main level features two bedrooms plus a den with original built-ins, offering flexibility for modern living. The primary bedroom is generously scaled, while the main bathroom is a period-perfect nod to the 1960’s—complete with a deep soaker tub, expansive skylight, and a Hollywood-style dressing area that simply doesn’t exist in today’s builds. Soaring vaulted ceilings anchor the living and dining areas, framing views of the west-facing backyard and flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen has seen updates over the years, but the showstopper is the substantial rear addition: a light-filled sunroom with walls of windows and a top-tier gas fireplace, creating a cozy retreat year-round. In addition to the thoughtful design, the home features practical built-ins throughout: a built-in office area for working from home and a matching built-in in the basement rec room—each contributing to the home’s distinctive character and storage-friendly appeal. We are talking solid wood throughout the home with a mix of oak, walnut and mahogany. Downstairs, you’ll find beautifully detailed woodwork, a large family room, an additional spacious bedroom, and a three-piece bath—ideal for guests or future reimagining.

Light pours in through wide windows, reflecting off warm, freshly refinished walnut hardwood floors and clean architectural lines. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully updated, complementing the home's original character rather than competing with it. The main level includes a peaceful primary suite with a spa-style bathroom with a deep soaker tub and spacious shower. A bright front den offers flexible space for work-from-home or a guest room, and a convenient 2-piece bathroom provides access from the den or hallway for guests.

Inner City Market Summary: Urban Land Value & Development Trends
The Inner City Calgary bungalow market represents the city’s most land-intensive real estate sector in 2026. Unlike suburban quadrants, urban bungalows are primarily valued as "Blue-Chip" assets where the land itself often exceeds the structure's value. This summary highlights the market forces—from R-C2 densification to "Strategic Rightsizing"—that continue to drive premium valuations in Calgary’s urban core.
High-Demand Inner City Assets
- R-C2 Zoned Bungalows in Altadore and Killarney, which serve as the primary inventory for modern duplex infills.
- Character Homes with "good bones" in Mount Pleasant that allow for high-end modern renovations while preserving the 50ft lot.
- Luxury Urban Estates in enclaves like Britannia and Rideau Park.
Primary Value Drivers
- Lot Dimensions: In the Inner City, every foot of frontage impacts the potential for future multi-unit redevelopment or custom luxury builds.
- Institutional Anchors: Proximity to the Foothills Medical Centre, SAIT, and the University of Calgary ensures perpetual rental demand for suited homes.
- Walkability: Direct access to the Bow River pathway systems and 17th Avenue’s culinary and business districts.
Smart Urban Strategy
Investors
Prioritize bungalows with separate entrances. Suited Inner City properties offer a unique "holding strategy" while waiting for land appreciation.
Rightsizers
Bungalows in Bridgeland offer an urban lifestyle without the high monthly fees or management constraints of downtown condo towers.

Quick Tip: Why Contrast Inner City with Other Areas?
- Land Scarcity: Inner City bungalows represent the most finite land resource in Calgary, ensuring long-term value compared to expanding suburban quadrants.
- Commute vs. Space: Buyers often contrast the short urban commute of the core with the larger yard spaces found in more distant Southeast or North sectors.
- Zoning Maturity: The Inner City (specifically Altadore and Mount Pleasant) is the city's primary hub for R-C2 redevelopment, offering unique potential not found in restricted suburban enclaves.
- Institutional Connectivity: Many urban buyers prioritize proximity to the Foothills Hospital or SAIT, which drives consistent rental demand for suited Inner City properties.

Inner City Calgary Real Estate: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Inner City Calgary bungalows for sale—covering redevelopment potential, R-C2 zoning, and urban rightsizing opportunities in the core.
1) Why are Inner City bungalows considered "Blue-Chip" investments?
Inner City bungalows are prized primarily for their underlying land value. Unlike suburban properties, urban bungalows sit on established lots where the land-to-structure value ratio is high. As the city densifies, these properties serve as "land banks" for future custom luxury builds or multi-unit redevelopment, making them highly resilient to market fluctuations.
2) Which Inner City communities have the best R-C2 bungalow inventory?
Communities like Altadore, Killarney, and Mount Pleasant feature the highest concentrations of R-C2 zoned bungalows[cite: 4]. These areas are the "Gold Standard" for developers seeking to replace original 1950s homes with modern semi-detached infills or luxury detached estates.
3) Can I build a legal basement suite in an Inner City bungalow?
Yes, many Inner City bungalows are ideal for legal secondary suites. With current City of Calgary zoning relaxations, property owners can often develop full-floor basement suites with separate entrances, providing a valuable "mortgage helper" or independent living space for multigenerational families[cite: 4].
4) How does "Strategic Rightsizing" work in the urban core?
Strategic Rightsizing involves moving from a large two-story family home to an Inner City bungalow to maintain independence and a private yard without the high monthly fees of a condo. This allows owners to stay in walkable urban hubs like Bridgeland or Richmond while benefiting from stairs-free living[cite: 4].
5) What are the advantages of a freehold bungalow over an urban condo?
The primary advantage is ownership of the land. Freehold owners avoid rising condo fees and have full authority over renovations, landscaping, and basement development. In a high-growth market like the Inner City, the equity growth of a detached bungalow typically outpaces that of high-density apartment condos.
