About this property
At 8-838 3rd Street, alpine nostalgia meets architectural playfulness. Set in sought-after South Canmore, this four-level end-unit townhouse channels an unmistakable late-’80s ski-chalet spirit—equal parts irreverent and iconic—while delivering over 2,250 square feet of flexible living space designed for today.
The façade faces west, drawing in afternoon light and framing rare Bow River views from the living room and lofted bedroom. Across the street, the Bow River pathway traces the valley floor, offering a daily ritual of movement—morning runs, dusk strolls, skis slung over your shoulder in winter. Just a few blocks away, Main Street hums with cafés, galleries, and mountain-town energy.
Inside, the split-level design unfolds with intention. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, while retro round “bubble” windows punctuate the walls—graphic, unexpected, and delightfully nostalgic. Three bedrooms are complemented by a lofted office (or fourth bedroom), creating vertical layers of privacy and possibility. Below, a generous family and gear room absorbs skis, bikes, and weekend guests with equal ease.
The rooftop deck is the exclamation point: panoramic views toward Mount Lady Macdonald and the Fairholme Range stretch wide against alpine skies. It’s a stage set for sunset dinners and après-ski evenings—an elevated perch in every sense.
Outdoor living spaces at both entrances soften the threshold between home and landscape, while off-street parking adds rare convenience in this central enclave.
For those drawn to the uncommon—design with personality, a central address, and a whiff of ‘88 Olympic nostalgia—this is a singular opportunity to own something truly distinctive in South Canmore.
