The Residence
A very rare opportunity to own this expansive 1957 character home on a premium, sprawling lot in the highly desirable inner-city neighbourhood of River Park. Situated beautifully above the Elbow River and directly across from a popular dog park, this well-cared-for original 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence perfectly balances mid-century charm with an unparalleled location.
The main floor is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable family living — a massive front living room with pristine park views flowing into a formal dining area, a bright kitchen with a newer stainless steel appliance package, and an adjacent breakfast nook overlooking the lush backyard. A private main-floor office and powder room complete this level.
The sunken family room boasts a distinct vintage vibe, a soaring vaulted ceiling, and a striking full-height brick fireplace — the warm heart of the home.
A clever split staircase divides the upper floor: the children's wing offers three large bedrooms and a dedicated family bathroom, while the private primary wing is a true adult retreat — a sprawling bedroom, a balcony overlooking the park, a luxurious ensuite with a deep soaker tub and steam shower, and a convenient upper laundry room.
The lower level hosts a massive recreation room and a third full bathroom, while out front an oversized attached two-car garage sits off a spacious driveway.
The massive, mature backyard is a private oasis of lush perennials and mature trees, with three distinct outdoor seating areas: a charming Roman paver stone patio, a lower deck, and an upper deck just off the dining room.
Thoughtfully renovate this mid-century gem to its former glory, or utilize the incredible, expansive lot to build your ultimate custom dream home — a prime piece of Altadore/River Park real estate, exceptionally close to downtown with easy access to major transit routes and Marda Loop.

A Protected Streetscape
When this part of Altadore/River Park was first developed more than sixty years ago, the homes fronting 14A Street and the east side of 15th Street — including this residence — had a set of restrictive covenants, known as a private building scheme, registered against their titles by way of Caveat. These long-standing protections remain valid and enforceable today, and they are a cornerstone of why this street looks the way it does.
Single-Family Only
All homes must be single-family residences — semi-attached homes, infills, row houses and other multi-family developments are strictly prohibited.
Two Storeys Maximum
No home may be more than two storeys, preserving the low, gracious scale of the streetscape.
Generous Front Setbacks
Front yards must be at least 25 feet deep — deeper than the City's current Land-Use Bylaw requires.
Wide Side Yards
Side yards must be at least 10% of lot width, protecting light, privacy and the mature garden setting.
Where the Covenant's terms are more restrictive than the current City of Calgary Land-Use Bylaw, a new build or major renovation must comply with both — a City development permit does not override the Caveat. Buyers planning future changes are encouraged to review the Covenant, registered against the title, with their architect and builder.
For the neighbourhood's homeowners, the Covenant has long been regarded as an important protection of the existing streetscapes, views, privacy, green space, single-family character and property values — a rare assurance of stability along one of the city's most beautiful streets. Further details are available from the community at liveinriverpark.com, and we are happy to review the full document with you upon request.

Buyer Questions
A registered Caveat enforces a private building scheme on 14A Street SW: single-family homes only, to a maximum of two storeys, with semi-attached homes, infills and multi-family development prohibited. Front yards must be at least 25 feet deep and side yards at least 10% of lot width. Buyers planning changes should review the registered document with their architect and builder.
The residence sits beautifully above the Elbow River, directly across from River Park's green space and its popular off-leash dog park, with immediate access to the River Park and Sandy Beach pathway system. The open parkland outlook across the street is a permanent part of the setting rather than a neighbouring lot that could change.
Yes. The home is an easy walk to the shops, services and restaurants of Marda Loop, so day-to-day errands, coffee and dinner are all reachable on foot while the house itself sits on a quiet residential street fronting green space.
Fourteen schools serve the surrounding area, with Altadore School as the community elementary school. The concentration of nearby options is one of the main reasons families settle in Altadore/River Park and stay for many years.
Built in 1957, this detached two-storey residence offers 2,579 square feet above grade with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. A split staircase divides the upper floor into a three-bedroom children's wing and a private primary wing with balcony, soaker-tub ensuite and upper laundry. The main floor includes a park-view living room, formal dining, kitchen with breakfast nook, sunken family room with vaulted ceiling and full-height brick fireplace, plus an office and powder room. The lower level hosts a massive recreation room and a third full bathroom.
The residence sits on a 6,350 square foot lot (590 square metres) under R-CG land use, with green space and large park listed among its site influences. Parking is served by an attached double garage of approximately 420 square feet.
The list price is $1,650,000, against a 2025 City of Calgary assessment of $1,590,000. To arrange a private viewing, please contact Renata M. Reid & Associates of Sotheby's International Realty Canada directly.
