Double front, triple back.

I’ve always written off that area in my books simply the Deerfoot traffic I witnessed for several years coming from downtown (shortly after McKnight). How would one get home (From DT) without that daily pain? Any alternative other than Deerfoot?

Centre, 14th, Crowchild to Shag to Country Hills. My townhouse is one street over from that listing so I used to do that commute from the West side of downtown.

They put that siding on in the past few years? Are they blind?

Architectural heathen here, what's wrong with the siding? Looks like fairly standard Hardie board to me, you just not down with the colour?

If that is some kind of above average siding, it sure doesn’t look it from the photos.

Siding is a main reason I can’t do suburbs.

There are so many better cladding options out there.

Hardie is certainly above-average for the 'burbs, being about 2-3 times as expensive as vinyl. Looks to be their normal Cedarmill textured planks with the straight-shingle style planks in the gables. Pretty common setup if you want something stronger than vinyl but don't like the stucco look.

What cladding would you have preferred?

[The_Rural_Juror]

I am starting to dislike stucco. Hardie is good but looks too cheap from afar like vinyl. Perhaps the shipping container look is the modern way to go.

Stucco is the easy answer, with some nice rock work (generally veneer anyway) and potentially some cedar accents where it makes sense.

I dunno I guess siding just gives my soul cancer.

[ExtraSlow]

So many shitty stucco jobs that I think i might prefer Hardie. Fuck, maybe I already have cancer?

[roopi]

Hardie board looks much better then stucco imo. Stucco looks like trash after 5 years. I don't live in the fancy inner city or aspen though.

I'm doing steel plate with giant spikes if I ever get to build a house.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. A traditional textured stucco looks good on some styles of house, same with the smoother modern stuccos - but if your house is longer than it is wide and has sides with few or no windows (which is very common for most newish neighborhoods), stucco just makes the sides look like big slabs of nothing. At least Hardie or engineered wood siding gives it some texture and depth and you don't have to paint it all the time.

Our house has lots of brick/stone accents and it would still look like shit with stucco.

This was my friend's old place before he moved. Had the front oversized two car and he built a double-deep heated shop in the back with insanely high ceilings for plenty of room for a hoist. If it's ever for sale again, I'm buying it.

after you move in, I suggest you put an exhaust fan on the garage wall connected to a humidistat so that it runs 3-4 hours overnight all winter.

That goes without saying, but this dudes still on crak. Most likely north haven crak. Much nicer than Tuscany crak

This one will definitely be posted in the 'how much did your neighbours house sell for thread' haha

I actually really like this place, not for $1.3M, but just like the interior design, layout, land and location overall. I will even accept the hardyboard.

I remember this house, my kids played soccer in the field nearby. I have often thought the same if it came up for sale.
