1017 38 Avenue SW Calgary, AB T2T 2J3

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Calgary history—or create its next chapter. Perched on a prominent rise in the heart of Elbow Park overlooking the beautiful Elbow River valley, this extraordinary residence is believed to have been the original clubhouse for the historic Earl Grey Golf Course. Rich in character and architectural significance, the home has been thoughtfully updated over the years while preserving the craftsmanship and charm that make heritage properties so special.

Set on a large, private, south-facing lot surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping, the property offers a peaceful setting in one of Calgary’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. A covered porch captures valley views, while the expansive yard provides exceptional privacy and a rare connection to nature just minutes from downtown.

Inside, historic character blends seamlessly with modern comfort. Original coffered ceilings in the kitchen and living room, timeless architectural details, hardwood flooring, renovated bathrooms, air conditioning, and updated mechanical systems reflect a careful balance of preservation and modernization. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, tile backsplash, quality appliances including a gas stove, a Kinetico water purification system, and abundant workspace.

The upper level is dedicated to an impressive primary retreat complete with a gas fireplace, heated ensuite floors, quartz countertops, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels removed from the pace of city life. The finished lower level offers additional living space with a family room, bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry area.

Large windows throughout the home frame mature landscaping including pine, lilac, crabapple, mountain ash, caragana, columnar poplar, and spruce trees, creating beautiful views in every season.

Beyond the home itself, the property presents exceptional future potential. The elevated south-facing lot, mature setting, and Elbow River valley views provide a compelling opportunity for those considering a custom estate residence in one of Calgary’s premier neighbourhoods. Whether your vision is to preserve and enjoy a unique piece of Calgary’s history or create a legacy home for future generations, this is a setting that rarely becomes available.

Ideally located near river pathways, Sandy Beach Park, the Glencoe Club, excellent schools, neighbourhood parks, and the shops and restaurants of 4th Street and 17th Avenue, this is a truly special property where history, character, location, and opportunity converge.
