A Unique Belgravia Home With Room to Make It Your Own
Finding a home in Belgravia is one thing. Finding a property that gives you the flexibility to move in today, renovate over time, or explore the potential to create something entirely your own is considerably harder.
This new Belgravia listing offers exactly that.
Situated on a large reverse-pie corner lot, this unique home offers nearly 2500 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a single attached garage and a layout you simply don’t see every day.
For buyers searching for a home in one of Edmonton’s most established central neighbourhoods—particularly those wanting to be close to the University of Alberta, Edmonton’s River Valley and Whyte Avenue—this property presents an interesting opportunity.
A Home With More Than One Future
One of my favourite things about this property is that there isn’t just one type of buyer who could make it work.
For someone who appreciates its character and layout, there is an opportunity to move in and enjoy the home as it is.
For a buyer who wants something more contemporary, the size and layout provide plenty of opportunity to renovate and personalize the home over time.
And for someone whose ultimate goal is to create their dream home in Belgravia, the large reverse-pie corner lot makes the property particularly interesting.
In an established neighbourhood where the land itself can be a major part of a property's value, having those options matters.
Over 2,300 Square Feet and a Unique Layout
The home combines bungalow-style main-floor living with a second-storey primary bedroom loft.
Altogether, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with more than 2,300 square feet of space.
The main-floor living area is handicap accessible, making the property potentially appealing to buyers looking for greater accessibility or the ability to live primarily on one level.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom loft gives the home a completely different feel from the traditional bungalows commonly found throughout Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods.
It is an unconventional layout—and for the right buyer, that is part of its appeal.
Private Outdoor Living
The oversized lot also provides plenty of outdoor space.
An enclosed private patio creates a protected area for relaxing or entertaining, while the deck, gazebo and established garden provide several ways to enjoy the yard throughout Edmonton’s warmer months.
There is also a single attached garage.
The large reverse-pie configuration and corner location help distinguish the property from many of the more conventional lots found throughout the neighbourhood.
Important Updates Already Completed
While there is plenty of opportunity for a future owner to personalize the property, a number of significant components have already been updated.
The front furnace was replaced recently, while the rear furnace is approximately two years old. The air conditioning system is approximately five years old.
The roof and stucco exterior are both approximately 10 years old, while the main-floor windows were upgraded to double-pane units approximately seven years ago.
Stamped concrete and the front parking pad were completed approximately six years ago.
These improvements can be particularly valuable for a buyer considering further renovations, as several major components of the property have already received attention.
Living in Belgravia, Edmonton
Of course, you can change a house.
You can’t move its location.
And location is one of the biggest reasons this property deserves attention.
Belgravia is one of Edmonton’s most sought-after established communities, offering mature streets, access to green space and an exceptional location near some of the city's most important employment, education and recreation destinations.
From this property, you’re just steps from Belgravia Park and close to the Belgravia off-leash area.
Edmonton’s extensive River Valley trail system is also nearby, providing access to kilometres of walking, running and cycling trails through one of the largest urban park systems in Canada.
For anyone connected to the University of Alberta, the location becomes even more attractive.
The University of Alberta campus and University of Alberta Hospital are only minutes away, making Belgravia a particularly desirable location for university employees, medical professionals, students and families who want convenient access to the area.
Whyte Avenue and Old Strathcona are also nearby, providing easy access to restaurants, cafés, shopping, entertainment and many of Edmonton’s best-known local businesses.
Who Is This Belgravia Property For?
This isn’t necessarily a cookie-cutter home—and I don't think it should be marketed as one.
Its appeal is the number of possibilities it offers.
It could work for a buyer looking for a spacious home in Belgravia that they can enjoy immediately.
It could appeal to someone who has been waiting for an opportunity to renovate a larger property in an established central Edmonton neighbourhood.
And it may also be worth considering for buyers whose long-term goal is to create a custom dream home and who recognize the value of securing the right lot and location first.
That combination of house, land and location is what makes this property particularly interesting.
Another unique perspective for this home would be someone with mobility issues. The main living area is open and easily accessible, while the south wing of the home and loft area could easily be turned into a completely separate nanny/care-giver suite. This could also be a possibility for a mortgage helper or student rental.
