Bellevue, nestled in northeast Edmonton, is a small but vibrant neighborhood with panoramic views of the North Saskatchewan River valley. Established primarily in the early 20th century, Bellevue exudes an old-world charm that is accentuated by its mature tree-lined streets and quaint architecture. As of the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census, Bellevue is home to about 1,037 residents living in 534 dwellings, presenting a tight-knit community feel that is attractive to both young families and retirees.
Here is a tidy gem of a house, nestled in a massive corner lot in Bellvue. You’ll love this location, a short walk from trendy shops, the river valley, with bus stops readily available. Just off the Capilano, to get anywhere in the city fast. The 1945 house has been completely updated with modern windows, doors, siding, but keeping the hardwood floors and all the charm. On the main floor you’ll find living and dining rooms and a kitchen with butcher block cabinetry, and two surprisingly spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. The separate entrance leads downstairs to a common laundry room, then an inlaw suite with full kitchen, living room, bathroom and a bedroom. The original brick single garage has so much potential as a work space/man cave/she shed, and shelters a cozy private deck with retractable awning. The large lot offers yard space on three sides, yet there are also three parking spots! With RM h16 zoning, this property offers solid investment potential as well as a beautiful place to live.More details
