Open House Saturday 2-4 pm Own a piece of Calgary’s history. Known as the Ross P.Alger House, this fully renovated mid-century modern landmark was commissioned by former Mayor Ross Patterson Alger and designed by Clayton Bond & Mogridge, with final plans dated August?1956 . Its 2009 façade update honours original clean lines while delivering today’s luxury-home lifestyle. Throughout, original mid-century features—including minimalist moldings and built-in millwork—blend seamlessly with high-end finishes.
A rare offering—this home sits on a 68'×110' west-backing lot, directly overlooking River Park with city skyline views. With 3,792 sq ft of living space across three levels (2,693 sq ft above grade+1,099 sq ft below grade), 4815?14?A?Street?SW features a total of five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a powder room.
• Main Level: Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a show-stopping glass-panel staircase define this floor. The chef’s showcase includes dual fridges, steam oven, gas cooktop, double dishwashers, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and a butler’s pantry with wine fridge and espresso bar. West-facing windows open to a private backyard oasis with oversized patio, mature trees and the rare Alger family pine, which brings in people to this day to see this rare tree.
• Living Spaces: A bold black-painted brick fireplace—its brick hand-picked by Ross himself from the original Calgary Fire Department demolition—anchors the expansive living room, while a separate family room with gas fireplace offers an intimate retreat. A custom mudroom with lockers, bench and sink leads to a powder room.
• Upper Level: Four bedrooms—or three plus a versatile office/den—each bathed in natural light. The primary sanctuary boasts park views and a spa-inspired ensuite with soaker tub, glass shower and double vanity, plus a fully custom closet. A second bathroom and laundry room complete this floor.
• Lower Level: 1,099?sq?ft of flexible space warmed by radiant in-floor heating. Includes a rec room, guest bedroom with ensuite, wine cellar, storage and laundry—plus rough-in plumbing for a wet bar.
• Location: Nestled in Altadore—steps from Elbow River pathways, top-rated schools, tennis courts and Marda Loop’s boutiques and dining, with downtown a quick commute away.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home that beautifully connects Calgary’s past, present and future.
