Dovercourt, situated in northwest Edmonton, is a quaint and mature neighborhood, with development primarily occurring in the 1950s. The area was designed under the city’s first unit plan, an innovative post-war urban planning concept that emphasized curvilinear street patterns to reduce traffic and enhance residential life. Named with a theme of British place names, Dovercourt provides residents with a stable, community-oriented living environment. It’s home to roughly 2,100 residents across about 800 homes, largely consisting of single-family dwellings. This neighborhood appeals to those who appreciate a slower-paced lifestyle with the charm of mid-century architecture and well-established amenities.

Set on a notably quiet street in Dovercourt, this carefully looked after bungalow gives you two bedrooms and a full bathroom up, with a third bedroom, second full bathroom and extra living space in the finished basement, so family and guests each get a level of their own. Mid century character runs through the main floor: a cove ceiling in the living room, archways, large windows that fill the rooms with light, and a built in hutch in the dining room. The newly redone kitchen means the room you use most is already finished, and the wood burning fireplace draws everyone into the living room on a cold night. The roof and upstairs windows are newer, and the solar panels will have you earning credits on the power bill every month. Outside, the beautiful established backyard is great for outdoor living: southwest facing and fenced, with a firepit for summer nights and a single detached garage that keeps the car out of the snow.More details
