Older bungalow on the best street in Montgomery. House is situated at the highest point on the side of the valley hill bordering a large park on a 50x120 foot R1 lot. On the walkout side you get incredible views across the valley and down towards the mountains. On the front side you have nothing across the street except for a large park. Additional Info: This lot would be incredible for building your dream home on in an up and coming neighborhood. The transformation to a new Marda-Loop style area has already begun.
Several new homes are going up in this up and coming neighborhood. Montgomery has a central area of R2 lots, bordered on either end by R1 lots so this area will be home to some very nice single (not a flood of infills like Marda Loop or Kilarney) large homes which is already happening(2 are already within a block on 23rd). The building of these R1 homes will be helped along by the central core of R2 infills that are going in. Montgomery is also moving forward with a neighborhood revitalization program by the City of Calgary like Marda Loop and Kensington had. It is presently home to one of the Cities highest rated restaraunts, Notable, with more trendy retail stores setting up shop in the area. It is close to downtown, the access to the mountains, and is set to be the next revitalized area in the inner city.
The house itself is a small Bungalow built in approximately 1952 and has a kitchen/livingroom/bathroom/bedroom upstairs. Downstairs it has a large utility/storage area, with a second bedroom/living area with wood buring fireplace. There is approximately 700 square feet up, with approx 350 finished square feet down plus the remainder as the furnace/storage area. Bathroom was completely re-tiled, and upper landing/stairs/lower room re-carpeted all within the last couple months. Furnace and hot water tank are recent, in very good condition. There is a deck off the top floor, and a door out the walkout level to a tiered yard. Attached to
house is a single carport with swing doors.
This house was bought by myself to be a building lot for my personal home as the location does not get much better. I am the second owner of this property which shows how often these lots change hands. But 5 years after buying it I am just too involved in other things to build right now and cannot really see having time in the near future. This house has been easily rented from the day it was bought to only 3 tenants. The first was 1 year with the next 2 at 2 years apiece. The area attracts more responsible tenants and renting it out has never been a problem. Currently it is vacant as of January so I thought I would put it on Welist for a month or two to see if there is interest. If not I will take off the market and re-rent it as it does not cost me anything to sit on it.
Listed price at $399,900 is firm and non-negotiable. I have not gone the realtor route so I can offer the house at less not having to pay a realtor comission. I do not believe in jacking up the price to allow room to negotiate down and give a buyer a perceived 'deal'. Just check MLS.ca and look at other Montgomery listings to see what a steal this is priced at. City 2011 assessment was $398,000. Similar house 2 doors down sold in 2010 for around the $430k mark.
House comes with all appliances. Stove, fridge, deep freeze in basement, washer, dryer as well as spare washer/dryer (spare dryer may need repair) so is tenant-ready.
***UPDATE - House is now rented out on a 1 year lease @ $1200.00/mo. There were over 15 replies in the first day on kijiji ad. For sale listing will be expiring soon, I believe mid-April, and will be off the market so act soon if interested. ***
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BEING CONTACTED BY AGENTS OR REALTOR SERVICES. I HAVE REALTOR FRIENDS WHOM I WOULD LIST THIS WITH IF I WAS INTERESTED IN GOING THAT ROUTE. PLEASE DO NOT USE WELIST AS A MARKETING CALL SOURCE.
