Go Green

October 3, 2011

Everyone loves Altadore and its neighbour Garrison Woods… award-winning community design, beautiful houses, great amenities, proximity to River Park, etc. Altadore’s lesser-known but equally fabulous sister is Garrison Green. This community was master planned by Canada Lands, just like Currie Barracks which is now under construction near the site of the former Calgary Farmers Market.

Garrison Green is conveniently located on the NW corner of the intersection of Crowchild Trail and Glenmore Trail and is kiddie-corner to Mount Royal University. The entire community is newer construction (last 10 years) so you don’t have the inconsistency of some nearby neighbourhoods. There is a tasteful mix of condos, townhomes and single-family houses. Not only is Garrison Green a 10 minute drive to downtown Calgary, you can walk or cycle to Glenmore Park and enjoy the pathways around the reservoir.

NOW FEATURING my listing at 19 Tom Hoppe Mews SW in Garrison Green (MLS C3490802). This house is gorgeous, immaculate and provides incredible value per square foot. Compared with Altadore, where the average price/square foot of current listings built in the last 10 years is $454, 19 Tom Hoppe Mews is priced at $759,900 for 2,435 square feet, or $312/square foot.

This home really has it all… five bedrooms, five bathrooms, fully finished basement, double attached garage, beautifully landscaped (no-maintenance) yard, high-end window coverings, cozy gas fireplace, large, open-concept kitchen and luxurious finishings throughout the home. Located on a no-through street with a south backyard, this is truly one of the nicest homes in the neighbourhood.

For more photos, details or to book an appointment to see this home, please call (403-852-0262) or email me. Tell your friends… this is great value!

Hi, I’m Amie – it sounds like Miami, not Amy, but I won’t give you a hard time if you don’t remember how to say it ;)

I’ve been a full-time realtor since 2006 and am proud to have achieved the top 1% of realtors across Canada, but you won’t find my face on billboards or bus benches across the city. I pride myself on professionalism, expertise and strong communication but my focus is on YOU – achieving your real estate and lifestyle goals.

I have mainly lived in the inner city but have worked extensively through all parts of Calgary and the surrounding communities. I love the unique relationship I foster with all of my clients, from fresh-faced first-time buyers to downsizers making a move on their own terms.

A few fun facts… When I’m not working, you can often find me downhill mountain biking or skiing with my husband and friends. My greatest weakness is Made by Marcus ice cream. My favourite place is in a forest – the bigger the trees, the better. Other Calgary faves include an americano misto from Monogram, sourdough bread from Begonia Bakehouse, happy hour at Bridgette Bar, the view of downtown from Crescent Heights and taking a cold water swim in the Bow River!
