This $1.6-million Edmonton home is pure '90s elegance

A funky home overlooking Edmonton’s river valley has popped up on the market, and it’s serving up pure early ’90s elegance, complete with pastels, glass block windows, and plenty of geometric details.
This home, located at 7415 Saskatchewan Drive NW, was built in 1991, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and is listed for $1.59 million.
Sitting on two lots totalling 12,510 square feet, the property is being pitched as either a major renovation project or a potential spot for a new build. But we are totally digging this early ’90s vibe happening throughout the home.
The main level has a large family room, three bedrooms, a bathroom, a massive foyer, and a mudroom with a built-in bench and cabinet.

Upstairs is the heart of the home, where you’ll find a huge great room centred around a stone fireplace, with access to the home’s massive front-facing balcony that overlooks the river valley.

The kitchen is another time capsule, with a geometric island, plenty of cabinetry, and a huge skylight overhead.

The primary suite is equally large, with plenty of closet space, its own laundry, and a bathroom that fully leans into the era with tiled walls in muted shades. How chic!

And then there’s the basement, which is currently unfinished, leaving a blank canvas for whoever takes over the property.
According to the listing, the property is within walking distance of the University of Alberta, hospitals, two LRT stations, Hawrelak Park and the river valley trails, with downtown just a short drive away.
The property is also part of the Belgravia Residential Construction (RC) area, which the listing says allows for one or two homes to be built on the site.
