The residence
Altadore is where Calgary goes when it wants the river, the parks and Marda Loop within a few blocks of the front door — and this street sits at the quiet, tree-lined heart of it. A fully developed two-storey home with a curved staircase, coffered ceilings, a slate-wrapped fireplace, a spa ensuite and a back yard built for summer nights: hot tub, pergola and a paved patio behind the double garage.
One door from Altadore Park, on one of the neighbourhood's most desirable streets, this 2,700 sq ft semi-detached home pairs a stone-and-stucco façade with a plan that has been finished top to bottom. A welcoming front entry with a curved staircase leads past a private office with French doors and a wallpapered powder room into the heart of the house.
The main floor opens up at the back — a spacious dining area under coffered ceilings, a well-appointed kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas range, rich cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, and a family room anchored by a slate-wrapped fireplace. Glass doors open onto the completely redesigned, south-facing backyard: a raised deck with a hot tub, a pergola-covered lounge and a paved patio, private and sun-filled through the afternoon.
Upstairs, the generous primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a fitted walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite — dual granite vanities, a deep soaker tub and a slate steam shower with body jets. Two further bedrooms, a full bath and convenient upper-level laundry complete the floor.
The finished lower level adds another dimension of living space: a large recreation room with a wet bar, a fourth bedroom, a full bathroom and a dedicated workout room. Recent updates include refreshed kitchen and ensuite finishes, central air conditioning and 8 kW of rooftop solar that meaningfully reduces the home's energy costs. A double detached garage sits off the lane.
And then there is the location. Step outside and you are literally one door from Altadore Park, with its skating rink in winter and children's play area. River Park, Sandy Beach, Glenmore Athletic Park, excellent schools, transit and Calgary's pathway system are all within easy reach, and the shops and restaurants of Marda Loop are a few blocks north. A substantial family home in an exceptional Altadore setting, with the rare advantage of park access virtually at your doorstep.

Worth knowing
The land was annexed in 1910 but Altadore was only established in 1945, which is why the original housing stock is mid-century bungalows rather than the 1910s character homes across the river.
Few communities have rebuilt themselves faster. Most of those bungalows have given way to semi-detached and detached infills over the past twenty years, so the streets keep getting newer while the trees stay old.
The Marda Theatre opened on 33 Avenue in the 1950s, and the "Loop" was the streetcar turnaround at the end of the line. The district still carries the name.
CFB Calgary closed in 1998 and its Currie Barracks and married quarters became Garrison Woods and Currie — the reason the west side of Altadore has such a walkable, new-urbanist feel.
The long escarpment park at the east edge of the community is one of the largest off-leash areas in the city, with downtown views from the top.
Sandy Beach sits on the Elbow River below River Park, with a pedestrian bridge across to Elbow Park and Britannia on the other side.
Altadore School (K–6) sits at 16 Street and 45 Avenue, and Dr. Oakley School serves K–6 in Marda Loop, with Central Memorial High School just south.
Glenmore Athletic Park, the Glenmore Aquatic Centre and the reservoir pathways sit directly south, with the Weaselhead natural area and the sailing clubs beyond.
The City's Marda Loop Main Streets project reworked 33 and 34 Avenues with wider sidewalks, patios and street trees, so the high street is only now settling into its new form.
The Marda Loop Communities Association, which serves Altadore and South Calgary, runs Marda Gras each summer — 33 Avenue closes to cars and fills with music and food.

A leafy inner-city grid between the Elbow River escarpment and the shops of Marda Loop, Altadore has quietly become one of the most sought-after family neighbourhoods on Calgary's west side — mature trees, wide avenues, and a housing stock that has been rebuilt street by street.
River Park and Sandy Beach are a short walk east, Altadore School is around the corner, the Glenmore Reservoir is directly south, and 33 Avenue — cafes, restaurants, a Safeway and the Marda Loop high street — is a few blocks north. Downtown is fifteen minutes by car or by the 14 Street bike lanes.
