Sunalta is a residential neighbourhood in the south-west quadrant of Calgary, Alberta.
It is located in the inner city, south-west of downtown Calgary, south of the Bow River and east of the community of Scarboro. It contains a balanced mix of single-family detached home, condominium and apartment buildings.
The community was established in 1910 on land annexed to the city of Calgary in 1907 and previously owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The community has an area redevelopment plan in place.
This beautifully designed home blends modern elegance, warm functionality, and views of the downtown skyline, offering the perfect balance between urban energy and residential calm.

Inside, a light-filled foyer leads into sprawling open-concept living spaces where 9’ high ceilings and large windows allow sunlight to pour through the main floor. The heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, featuring quartz counters, 6-burner gas cooktop, sleek cabinetry, generous storage, and a large central island with breakfast bar that invites connection.
