The stunning George Durrand Residence is a stunningly preserved and meticulously restored, 1913 vintage brick masterpiece, prominently located on Saskatchewan Drive, with a view of the river valley and downtown. A rare opportunity
This lovely property has been designated as a Municipal Historic Resource, and as such, also qualifies for a maintenance grant every 5 years. This sale will also include an additional adjacent development lot, located to the south of the home
Extensively renovated and restored, the level of care and attention that has been enjoyed by the property is evident in every room, every corner of the beautifully landscaped grounds, and no expense has been spared. This is truly a turnkey property
This stately building started it's life as a home of distinction, and showcased craftsmanship and opulence. The home is currently being used as professional office space, with pride, and the possible additional uses are limited only by your imagination
All 4 levels of this brick masterpiece are fully developed, and still full of possibility. A lover of the architecture of the period could very easily return the property to full residential use, or use it as stately professional office space
With walking and cycling trails just outside the front door, the river valley simply rises to meet the property, and yields an unobstructed view of downtown to the north. Stunning
Proximity to all amenities is unparalleled. Shopping, restaurants, entertainment, commerce, and business are all readily at hand. An irrigation system has also been added, and supports the extensive landscaping
With over 3200 square feet of space above grade, and a total of almost 4400 square feet total, there is a lot of space here to use, make your own, and enjoy. Truly, tailor made and ready for professional office type use

Stunning architecture & craftsmanship abound in this property. This level of property was rarely built, and is even more rarely encountered today. Taking over 2 years to complete construction, the stamp of a long lost generation of craftsmen is obvious

Guests or clients are greeted at the front entry by an all glass porch, that lets in loads of natural light. Even the simple walk up to the front door lets anyone know that they are about to experience something special

The entrance also boasts one of several original fireplaces in the home. Details such as French doors, glass pocket doors, and even a formal coat closet are notable touches. This is a home that would have had service staff in it's day, and it shows

The top floor is cavernous, and the open loft area runs the full width of the home. A great communal space, meeting area, production area, or such. A great view of downtown to the north, and very appealing lines and architecture

A peek at the parking area from the landing in the formal staircase. A private patio area is also located below this window. Perfect
The private parking lot area is freshly paved, and easily supports 14 vehicles. The shade and green space is located on the additional development lot that is included in this sale. This is truly a unique opportunity to build, in a great spot
The highlighted lot is the parcel that contains the house, and fronts onto Saskatchewan Drive. Lot 10416 to the south is the empty development lot, and fronts onto 87 Avenue. Current densification in the city makes this a perfect time to explore a build
With a stunning location and a view of downtown and the river valley, this opportunity to purchase the George Durrand Residence is a rare treat
