Welcome to 54 Wildwood Drive SW—an exceptional ridge lot offering sweeping views of the Bow River Valley, downtown skyline, and northwest Calgary. Situated on a rare 0.4-acre flat lot along the north ridge of Wildwood Drive, this mid-century modern bungalow combines character, privacy, and a truly remarkable setting surrounded by mature landscaping and timeless charm. This beautifully maintained home offers over 3,000 sq ft of developed living space.

The kitchen, thoughtfully redesigned by Legacy Kitchens, features granite countertops, a large central island, solid maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and elegant glass display cabinets—creating a warm, functional space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A seamless addition at the rear of the home is a vaulted great room filled with natural light and panoramic views, opening directly onto a 30 x 24’ cedar deck—perfect for entertaining or quietly taking in the ever-changing skies. A former carport has been converted into a cozy den with rich wood library shelves and direct access to the backyard.

A sheltered front courtyard welcomes you with blooming lilacs and carefully curated flower beds. The expansive backyard is framed by mature trees, flat lawns, and raised garden beds—perfect for planting vegetables or simply enjoying nature. The property is positioned well back from the street with no neighbors to the north, creating a quiet and private retreat. Additional updates include newer triple-pane windows in the great room (2024), new front stairs and aggregate walkway, an addition of a garage (1990/91), and new shingles (2014). This spectacular location offers rare city stargazing and northern lights viewing experiences. Tucked into one of Calgary’s most established inner-city communities, Wildwood offers unmatched access to Edworthy Park, the Douglas Fir Trail, and an extensive pathway system, while still being just minutes from downtown, schools, transit, shopping, and restaurants.
