9720 Academy, Calgary, CAL Zone S - $499,900

If you’ve been dreaming of your next project, this 1960s bungalow is ready to inspire. Original condition and value priced, it’s packed with retro charm for those who love mid-century details, or the chance to create something entirely new on the spacious corner lot. The living room is a time capsule, with its original privacy screen, built-in planter/bookcase, and panelled accent wall. Imagine how you could transform the dining room by adding French doors & sunny deck - the potential is incredible! The kitchen retains its retro wall oven, checkerboard vinyl flooring and has a window overlooking the backyard. There are three bedrooms and one unforgettable bathroom - powder pink from top to bottom including the tub and toilet. Downstairs, the undeveloped basement awaits your vision, with plenty of room for additional living space. The south-facing backyard is generous, with mature trees, more than enough space for a future garage, patio and garden, and it is bordered on one side by a paved alley. A large spruce tree in the front yard adds character to the lot, which is across the street from a school and a large park. This family friendly neighbourhood offers quick access to the shops and businesses of Macleod Trail and Deerfoot Meadows. It is an ideal location for a young family, a house flipper, or a developer looking to build new. Yes, it needs work. But with vision and creativity, this bungalow could be transformed into a sweet little dream home.
