Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue, Bon Accord

What if we told you that for under $300,000, you could own a renovated mid-century home on a fully treed, oversized lot, just 12 minutes from CFB Edmonton? And that instead of city noise and postage-stamp yards, you’d get a private orchard, a spacious home with architectural charm, and a lifestyle rooted in peace and space?

Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue in Bon Accord.

Why Bon Accord?

Let’s start with the town. Bon Accord might not have been on your radar—but that’s exactly why it’s such a gem. This quiet, connected community offers more land, less stress, and a sense of calm you just can’t replicate in the city. With quicker-than-you’d-expect access to Edmonton and just a short drive to CFB Edmonton, Bon Accord gives you the space to breathe without giving up convenience.

Whether you're military, remote-working, or simply looking to stretch out and start a new chapter, this location works.

A Mid-Century Home That Still Hits

Originally built in 1964, this 3-level split has been thoughtfully and professionally renovated—preserving the best of its character (vaulted ceilings! sun-filled windows! mid-century bones!) while modernizing all the parts that matter most.

Let’s take a walk through.

Main Floor: Light, Layout & Flow

Step through the front door and you’re immediately greeted with vaulted ceilings and massive south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-concept main floor features newer laminate flooring throughout, bringing warmth and a clean finish underfoot.

The kitchen is compact but efficient—stainless steel appliances, smart storage, and a layout that makes dinner prep feel like a breeze. Just off the kitchen is a cozy dining nook that keeps you connected to the main living space, perfect for easy entertaining or slow weekend breakfasts.

Upper Level: Bright Bedrooms & Main Bath

The upper level houses two junior bedrooms, each bright and welcoming, with good closet space and easy access to the full 4-piece main bathroom. Whether you’re growing a family, hosting guests, or creating a work-from-home sanctuary, these rooms are flexible and inviting.

Lower Level: The Dreamy Primary Retreat

This is where things get elevated.

The fully finished lower level is home to a stunning, completely renovated primary suite—designed to feel more like a boutique hotel than a basement. You’ll find:

A spa-inspired ensuite with double sinks, a luxury glass shower, and his and hers walk-in closets
A layout that offers total privacy, quiet, and calm
Enough space for a king bed, dresser, and cozy reading corner

If you’ve been craving a grown-up space that’s yours and yours alone, this is it.

Not Just a Backyard — Your Personal Orchard

Let’s talk about the yard, because it’s honestly a showstopper.

The lot is fully fenced, fully landscaped, and fully alive. Mature fruit trees, tall hedges, space for gardens, space for kids, space for dogs, hammocks, bonfires, raised beds—you name it. It backs onto trees, giving you privacy and that deep-breath, birds-chirping feeling the moment you step outside.

Whether you’re a gardener, a dreamer, or just someone who wants more space to live, this yard delivers.

Extras That Make a Difference

This home isn’t just beautiful—it’s smart:

Nearly 1,400 sq ft of total finished living space
A rare double tandem garage—perfect for tools, toys, workshop dreams, or simply extra storage
A sunroom that doubles as a plant haven, reading room, or chill-out zone
A large laundry/mudroom that makes sense (finally!)

The Vibe

This is a home for people who want more.
More nature. More calm. More connection to what matters.
Less noise. Less rush. Less pressure to settle.

Whether you’re planting roots, starting over, or simplifying into something better, this property gives you the bones, the beauty, and the space to build a lifestyle—not just live in a house.

We thought you might be.

The Kind of Home That Changes the Way You Live

Posted on May 2, 2025 by Caitlin Heine

The Kind of Home That Changes the Way You Live

#104, 1350 Windermere Way SW | $574,900

Some properties check a lot of boxes.
This one creates new ones.

Welcome to #104 in Windermere Mansions, where thoughtful design meets real-world functionality—and where downsizing doesn’t mean compromising. This is not about less. It’s about better.

You Drive In, Shut the World Out, and Breathe

No circling the parkade. No elevator lobbies. No navigating through hallways with bags and keys and winter boots.

You drive directly into your oversized private double garage, which is heated, secure, and connected right to your unit. You unload your groceries straight into your own in-suite elevator—not one you share with the rest of the building. This elevator takes you to all three levels, including your kitchen, your bedroom, and your finished rec room downstairs.

It’s not flashy. It’s functional. And if you’ve ever lived in a condo before, you’ll know just how rare—and valuable—that is.

This Kitchen Isn’t "Condo Nice." It’s Just... Nice.

Let’s talk about the kitchen. Because it’s one of the first things you’ll notice, and probably the one that will stay with you.

It’s bigger and better than in most detached homes. There’s a gas stove. Granite counters. Full pantry and coffee bar area. A built-in wine fridge. New backsplash. Thoughtful layout. Lots of space to actually cook, actually host, and actually enjoy being in it.

This isn’t a "we’ll make it work" kitchen. This is a “what time should we come over?” kitchen.

Space That Feels Like It Was Designed for You

Across three levels, you have just shy of 2,000 square feet to stretch out. You’ll find:

Two large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite
A main-floor den that’s ideal for a home office or library nook
2.5 bathrooms
A fully finished basement rec room (think gym, media room, or just a place to put the Peloton that isn’t your bedroom)
And two outdoor patios, both south-facing, one off the main floor and one off the upper level, offering privacy, sun, and greenbelt views.

Add in fresh paint, new carpets, and custom blinds throughout—and you get a home that doesn’t need your immediate attention. Just your presence.

The Lifestyle? Quiet, Elevated, Effortless.

This is an 18+ building made of concrete and steel, which means real privacy and quiet. It’s not a high-rise. It’s not packed with units. It feels more like a private residence than a complex.

You’re steps from the Currents of Windermere—groceries, wine, restaurants, boutique fitness, banking, trails. You can be everywhere you need to be without crossing the city.

And when you're home, you’re not thinking about mowing lawns or shoveling driveways. You’re sitting on your patio with a coffee or glass of wine, soaking in the sun, overlooking trees—not rooftops or roads.

Noteworthy: The Low Condo Fees

With almost 2000 sqft of living space, this condo offers low condo fees at $865.98/month. And those fees include your heat and water, along with professional management, reserve fund contributions, snow removal, landscaping, common insurance, and access to a well-run, quiet, and secure building.

More importantly, it’s the only property on the market that gives you this lifestyle, with these features, at this price point.
