This unique property is nearly 120 years old and, although time-worn, offers a minimum term of 9 months to tenants with children and or pets who are seeking an inexpensive and central location in southwest Calgary. The home is located within easy walking distance of the 39th Avenue LRT station, MNP Sports and Recreation Centre, Stampede fairgrounds, 4th Street shopping and dining, Rideau Park School (K-9) and the Elbow River pathway system. A convenient Calgary Transit shuttle service is only 1 block away and the property is equidistant from downtown and the Chinook Centre regional shopping mall at Glenmore and Macleod Trail.Built in 1908 for one of Calgary's early pioneer physicians, this is the original farmhouse for the area and offers comfortable character spaces on the main and second floors, warm and dry and secure despite her advanced age. Please note: current occupant is vacating (after 25+ years) on October 18 - photos will be updated once the space has been completely cleared and cleaned.Tenants will enjoy the fenced and sunny south facing backyard, classic western-style front porch, living room with bay window and fireplace (decorative only at this stage) large dining room and kitchen with modern appliances. Please note: the home's only 4-pce bathroom is also located on the main floor. Upstairs are 3 good-sized bedrooms with dormer-style windows and ceilings typical of the home's vintage nearly 120 years ago.Basement features full-sized, modern washer and dryer, a large workbench and lots of space for temporary storage. Please note that basements of this era feature narrow stairs and limited access, though large enough for full-sized appliances to pass.This home is warm and dry and offers comparatively inexpensive temporary accommodation until mid- to late-summer of 2027, after which it is expected to give way to a new residential development.
