Welcome to 1712 25 Street SW, a truly special home in the heart of Shaganappi, where timeless character meets thoughtful modern updates.

Homes like this don’t come up often.

Set on a heritage-designated street, this property offers over 2,200 sq ft of developed living space, combining original craftsmanship with upgrades that today’s buyers expect.

First Impressions Matter and This One Delivers

From the moment you arrive, there’s a feeling you don’t get with newer builds.

This is exactly what I talk about in Selling Secrets. Buyers decide emotionally within seconds. The goal is to create that “this feels like home” moment right away.
And this home delivers.

Inside, you’re welcomed by:

• Original hardwood flooring throughout the main and upper levels
• Crown molding and recessed lighting
• A warm, inviting living room with a gas fireplace
• Custom California wood shutters and French doors

This is character you simply cannot recreate, paired with modern comfort in all the right places.

A Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living

The kitchen is both functional and refined, something buyers are prioritizing more than ever.

Features include:

• Quartz countertops
• Stainless steel appliances
• Metal farmhouse sink
• Pantry and extensive cabinetry
• Built-in shelving and wine storage

A bright breakfast nook creates the perfect casual space for mornings, while the dining room offers a more formal setting for entertaining.

This is a great example of the 80/20 rule in action. Buyers are not buying every feature. They are buying the few standout elements that make the home feel right.

Four Bedrooms Upstairs Plus a Standout Primary Retreat

Upstairs, you’ll find four well-sized bedrooms, ideal for families or those needing home office space.

The primary bedroom stands out with:

• Vaulted ceilings
• Ceiling fan for comfort
• Custom California Closet with barn-style doors and lighting

The upper bathroom adds a unique touch of luxury with:

• Heated marble floors
• A classic clawfoot soaking tub

This is where charm and comfort come together and where buyers start to emotionally connect with the home.

Fully Developed Basement for Extra Living Space

The finished basement adds flexibility and value, featuring:

• A large recreation room
• Additional family or living space
• 3-piece bathroom
• Dedicated laundry room with storage

Whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing, or giving the kids their own space, this level delivers.

Outdoor Living That Sets This Home Apart

Step outside and you’ll find a private, east-facing backyard oasis designed for both relaxation and function.

Highlights include:

• Mature landscaping
• Custom stonework and pathways
• Garden beds with drip lines
• Irrigation system in both the front and backyard
• Detached double garage with paved lane access

This is exactly the kind of feature that separates a home from the competition.

In real estate, unique outdoor spaces often fall into the top 20 percent of features that drive most buyer decisions, and this backyard is a perfect example.

Location: Why Shaganappi Continues to Stand Out

Location is one of the biggest drivers of value, and Shaganappi delivers on every level.

This home is:

• Just a 2-minute walk to Shaganappi Park
• Minutes from a nearby elementary school
• Close to golf, pathways, and green space
• Quick access to Crowchild Trail and downtown Calgary

Inner-city convenience combined with a strong community feel makes this a highly desirable place to live.

Final Thoughts: A Rare Opportunity in Calgary’s Inner City

This is not just another listing.

It is a home that offers:

• Character that cannot be rebuilt
• Updates you do not have to worry about
• A location that continues to grow in demand

At $1,249,000, this is a strong opportunity for buyers looking to secure a long-term home in one of Calgary’s most desirable communities.

Thinking About Selling in Calgary or Edmonton?

Homes like this do not sell by chance.

They sell because of:

• Strategic preparation
• Proper pricing
• Strong marketing
• And understanding what buyers actually want

If you are considering selling, I will show you exactly how to position your home to stand out and sell for top dollar.
