The Residence
Renovated homes of this caliber rarely come to market. This is an exceptional opportunity to own one of the finest and most comprehensively rebuilt homes in Lake Bonavista.
Ask any discerning buyer what they value most in a renovated home, and while the answers may differ, one thing remains constant: confidence in the quality, craftsmanship, and longevity behind the renovation. That is precisely what sets this exceptional Lake Bonavista residence apart.
Welcome to a truly turnkey renovation, meticulously transformed inside and out to an uncompromising standard. This was not a cosmetic flip, but a carefully curated year-long restoration where every detail was thoughtfully executed with lasting quality in mind.
Beneath the beauty lies substance. The home offers an exceptionally solid feel thanks to a newly installed glued-and-screwed subfloor system designed for superior stability and durability.

Architecture & details
Beneath the beauty lies substance.
Extensively rebuilt from the studs up, this home delivers true peace of mind with major infrastructure upgrades including all new plumbing, new furnace and HVAC systems, central air conditioning, tankless hot water, new backflow valve, complete copper rewiring brought to current code standards, and a brand-new 200-amp panel dropped from the city pole — services the garage with a buried 150-amp sub-feed to the main-house mechanical, leaving ample capacity for a future carriage home, backyard spa retreat, RV storage or EV charging.
A new gas line buried from the main house is also roughed in at the garage, ready for a future carriage build or an efficient heat source for the garage today.
The exterior renovation is equally impressive, featuring Hardie Board siding, triple-pane windows, dramatic glass front entry doors, new rear doors, updated fencing, extensive new landscaping, all-new concrete work, new roofing on both the house and garage, a new rear deck, upgraded insulation with spray foam and cellulose, new appliances, and much more.
Inside, the home seamlessly blends sophisticated design with everyday family functionality. The bright open-concept main level features a stunning living, dining, and kitchen space anchored by custom cabinetry, genuine quartz countertops, new flooring, and refined finishing throughout. The spacious primary retreat offers a luxurious spa-inspired ensuite complete with rain shower fixtures and a steam shower, alongside a convenient powder room on the main level.
The fully developed lower level continues to the same exacting standard, filled with natural light from large raised windows and offering three generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, a spacious laundry room, and new carpeting throughout.

From the studs out
A year of building.
The finished photographs only tell half the story. The home was taken back to the framing — old insulation pulled, mechanical systems replaced, envelope rebuilt — and assembled again to current code with care visible at every stage.
These are a few moments from the year-long restoration: the original attic before the R-60 upgrade, the air barrier going on, the new mechanical room, and the rooms taking shape behind the drywall.

Development Potential.
Architectural drawings have been prepared for a future backyard carriage suite — a two-bedroom residence above a triple-car garage totalling approximately 2,061 square feet, designed by Candlas Constructors.
The plans envision a Craftsman exterior in Hardie lap siding with a standing-seam metal roof, a private balcony, and a fully self-contained suite suitable for extended family or future income.
Infrastructure is already in place to support it. A brand-new 200-amp panel — dropped from the city pole in the alley — services the garage, leaving ample capacity for a carriage home, a backyard spa retreat, RV storage and EV charging. A new gas line buried from the main house is roughed in at the garage, ready for the carriage build or an efficient heat source for the garage today.
Proposed only — not built. Subject to City of Calgary permitting and buyer due diligence.
Renderings and plans are conceptual; permits not in hand.
Setting
Lake Bonavista.
Lake Bonavista is one of Calgary's original lake communities — mature, established and quietly residential, with two private lakes, year-round residents-only access, and a long tradition of family ownership.
1132 Lake Sylvan Place sits on a hushed cul-de-sac of just nineteen homes, an enclave within an enclave. The streets are quiet, the trees are sixty years old, and Lake Bonavista's beach, boathouse and tennis courts are a short walk from the door.
Schools, playgrounds, the South Centre shopping district, Fish Creek Provincial Park and Deerfoot Trail are all within easy reach — yet the neighbourhood itself remains residential, low-traffic, and protected by its own community association.
- Two private residents-only lakes with beaches, boathouses and tennis courts
- Lake Bonavista Community Association programming year-round
- Walk to Lake Bonavista Promenade and South Centre shopping
- Minutes to Fish Creek Provincial Park trails
- Quick access to Deerfoot Trail and Macleod Trail commuter routes
