This $1.1M Edmonton home in a ravine is a quiet escape minutes from downtown
Your next home could be a quiet natural retreat just minutes from the downtown core, if you’re ready to bring serious cash to the table.
Tucked into MacKinnon Ravine in Edmontonās Grovenor community and surrounded by mature pines, this open-beam home feels like itās deep in the forest, while still very much in the city.

Located at 14228 Ravine Dr. NW, it has two bedrooms, four bathrooms, and nearly 2,500 sq. ft. of space to make your own, though the architecture does much of the work for you.
Built in 1938 and beautifully updated, it was listed recently on the market for $1,185,000.
In the front yard, a boardwalk with a small bridge crosses over a pond and leads to the front of the home, where you’ll find a stone patio, a low-maintenance garden, and plenty of privacy.

Inside, the layout is open and bright. Vaulted cedar ceilings, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows make the main living space feel part of the outdoors. The sunken living room overlooks the front of the home.
