Property Description

On certain streets,opportunities are measured not by what is available today,but by how rarely they become available at all. Welcome to 42 Cardiff Drive NW,one of Cambrian Heights' most sought-after addresses. Set among mature trees and established homes,this is a location where properties are tightly held and redevelopment opportunities are increasingly scarce. Occupying an exceptional 7,800 sq. ft. lot - significantly larger than many parcels in the community - this property offers a compelling opportunity for builders,investors,renovators,and those envisioning a future custom residence in one of Calgary's most desirable inner-city neighbourhoods. The existing approximately 1,500 sq. ft. bungalow provides flexibility for a variety of strategies. Renovate and modernize,hold as an investment,undertake a down-to-the-studs transformation,or explore the potential for a complete redevelopment tailored to your vision. The home features refinished hardwood flooring,bright principal living spaces,a developed lower level with additional bedrooms,separate side entrance,side addition,sunroom,and detached double garage. Over the years,numerous improvements have been completed,including a high-efficiency furnace,hot water tank,replaced sewer line,roof replacement,refinished upper-level hardwood flooring,egress windows,attic insulation,and garage door replacement. What truly distinguishes this offering,however,is the combination of lot size,location,and long-term potential. Positioned just moments from Confederation Park,extensive pathway networks,schools,transit,SAIT,downtown Calgary,and major commuter routes,this is a property that appeals equally to families,investors,and builders seeking one of the city's most enduring inner-city locations. Whether your plans involve living,investing,renovating,or building,opportunities of this scale and calibre on Cardiff Drive are exceptionally uncommon.

Shuvolaxmi Dutta

Highly recommend! An absolute pleasure to work with. We recently purchased our beautiful new home in Calgary with the help of Viren and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, he truly listened to our specific needs, likes, and dislikes. He understood exactly what we were looking for in a family home and didn’t recommend us to see anything that didn’t align with our vision. He was very respectful of our budget and helped us find excellent options within our range without ever making us feel pressured. He never rushed us — even when we took time to think things through, he was patient and supportive every step of the way. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond during the final walkthrough. He took care of a few issues that came up and made sure everything was properly addressed before closing. It gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, working with him felt like searching for a home with a close family friend. His warmth, honesty, and genuine care made, what could have been a stressful process, truly enjoyable. We are so grateful for his help in finding our perfect family home and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation! Thank you again Viren!

We recently worked with Viren to purchase a rental property, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Buying a home can be stressful, but Viren made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. We never felt pressured and always felt that he had our best interests in mind. His guidance throughout the search, negotiations, and closing process was invaluable, and thanks to his hard work, we found the perfect property. I would highly recommend Viren to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! - We will definitely be in-touch when we're in the market for another property.

I am a Alberta certified home inspector for a top home inspection company and have had the pleasure to work with Virin on a few occasions, his professional attitude and knowledge of the space is exceptional and should be a bar set by all realtors to match. It was a pleasure and I look forward to a long professional relationship with him and his company in the future. Thanks for being so professional and prompt with all requests.
