Capilano is one of Edmonton's most scenic and established neighborhoods, nestled along the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River. This neighborhood began its development primarily in the 1950s, boasting a mature, quiet setting characterized by wide streets lined with large trees. Today, Capilano is home to approximately 2,500 residents in about 1,000 homes, most of which are single-family dwellings. The neighborhood’s name, inspired by the Capilano River in British Columbia, reflects its picturesque and tranquil riverside setting.
It’s rare to find a place that feels this solid. This Capilano bungalow wasn’t a quick project; it’s been slowly and intentionally updated over the years, and you can really feel that care when you walk in. The house is full of natural light all day long and has a layout that just works, featuring a full bathroom on each floor along with three bedrooms up and two down. The south-facing backyard and patio are perfect for catching the neighborhood sunsets, and the oversized single garage plus three driveway spots mean you actually have room for your vehicles. It’s a straightforward, welcoming home where the big, expensive work is already finished so you can just move in and enjoy the area.
