There is something special about living in the heart of Bridgeland. One of Calgary’s best inner city neighbourhoods, with its collection of restaurants, shops, and vibrant urban amenities, it’s easy to see why so many people want to be here. Add in a special home, and it’s pretty much a slam dunk. We love 205 12 street for a ton of reasons, but the one that stands out to me the most is how it has an early 1900’s century home character vibe to it, even though it was built in 1994. From the solid wood doors, to the clawfoot tub, and clapboard siding, the builder of this home went to great lengths to make a new home have genuine character. Something that is hard to come by today. You either get character, and all the issues that come with an old home, or you get a new home with no personality. This fabulous place is the exception. It truly was put together by a craftsman. The front porch is the first thing that gives it that 1900’s charm, and as you walk in the door, the open staircase adds to the period correctness. A large living room at the front of the house with high ceilings leads to the dining room and kitchen at the back. Newer appliances and a Sub Zero fridge are the highlights of the cook’s domain. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own private balcony, a separate room for the clawfoot tub that has tons of windows, and a large ensuite. There is a huge loft area that could easily be turned into two extra bedrooms by adding a couple of walls. The space is highlighted by a wood burning stove. The basement is fully developed too, and features a bedroom with a bathroom. Outside, the mature landscaping creates a private back yard with its California Kitchen, and large patio spaces. Some of the other highlights are downtown views, easy access to memorial drive, and this home is located just around the corner from the Bridgeland Market, where you can walk for groceries daily if you want. No car necessary when you reside at 205 12 St. N.E
