Up front, the upgraded deck railing and structural supports ensure this ho me is as solid as it is beautiful.Located on a quiet, tree-lined street filled with single-family homes, this property boasts excellent street parking, just 2 minutes from both Crowchild and Bow Trail for quick commutes in any direction by car or Shaganappi Point LRT station.
