Anchoring the SE corner at Royal Avenue and 7 Street, as well as the NE corner of Durham Avenue and 7 Street, this estate offers a beautiful mansion constructed in 1910 placing it as one of the oldest and most venerable properties in Mount Royal, indeed in all of Calgary.

This home has been carefully maintained and updated and includes significant upgrades of mechanical systems, windows and doors, insulation, flooring, kitchen and bathrooms, electrical, the rear deck, and features a 50 year warranty Enviro-Shake roof. With 5 bedrooms (and flexibility for a 6th bedroom) and 6 bathrooms, The Sayre Estate easliy accomodates larger families and/or ample room for guests with the separate Coach House offering two bedrooms, a full kitchen, full bathroom, living room and a heated double garage below. The grounds feature a regulation size tennis court, a large deck, and numerous open areas of manicured lawns and landscaping. Heated parking for 6 vehicles and large spacious driveways that can easily accommodate a dozen or more vehicles means there is ample room for large gatherings and events. A peerless location with less than 10 minutes access to the heart of downtown, shopping and restaurants 5 minutes away, The Glencoe Club, and highly rated schools all within short walking distance makes this estate truly unmatched in Calgary and surrounding area. Please view the video and note the house interiors have been painted white and hardwood flooring on the second and third levels, and the back stairwell has been added since the photos and video were taken.
