The action
The unit overlooks Griffith Woods Park.CIR Realty
Ontario buyers toured about 10 sizable condominium suites across Calgary, including a few in three buildings forming the Wedgewoods community by the Elbow River. This two-bedroom had windows overlooking Griffith Woods Park. With some negotiation, the buyers shaved $30,850 off the asking price.
“We wanted to focus on the building after we’d seen some good units there, so we submitted an offer relatively quickly after seeing it for the first time,” said the buyers’ agent, Kamil Lalji.
“They wanted something with an unobstructed view and the forest behind [the building] is gorgeous. When we were there the first day on the balcony, almost on cue, a deer came out of the forest; it was magical.”
What they got

On the fourth floor of an 18-year-old building, this 1,029-square-foot unit was designed with bedrooms on opposite sides of a large living room with a gas fireplace and a door to the balcony.
There are two full bathrooms, a laundry room with stacked machines, and an open, U-shaped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
The unit comes with a parking spot and storage cage.
Monthly fees of $525 pay for utilities and use of a large gym. Annual homeowners’ association fees are $325.

“There are not a lot of complexes like this,” said Mr. Lalji. “It’s quite large by Calgary standards.”
“It backs onto a beautiful nature reserve and it’s also close to mountain biking and hiking trails.”
