The grounds feature a regulation size tennis court, a large deck, and numerous open areas of manicured lawns and landscaping.

A peerless location with less than 10 minutes access to the heart of downtown, shopping and restaurants 5 minutes away, The Glencoe Club, and highly rated schools all within short walking distance makes this estate truly unmatched in Calgary and surrounding area. Please view the video and note the house interiors have been painted white and hardwood flooring on the second and third levels, and the back stairwell has been added since the photos and video were taken.
