$1.4M century home in Edmonton looks like something out of a storybook

Your next home could be a 100-year-old, beautifully landscaped oasis that almost looks like something out of a fairytale, and while it won’t come cheap, it’s close to what you’d pay for the average home in Vancouver.

This home, located at 10216 Connaught Drive NW, is in Edmonton’s prestigious Old Glenora neighbourhood and was recently listed for $1,475,000.

It’s a Dutch Colonial-style home built in 1923. The home boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms and rests on nearly half an acre of land, making it feel like a small retreat in the heart of Edmonton.
