Operating Status
The home currently operates as a licensed short-term rental.
Gargoyle House is presented as it operates: some rooms, systems, and staging reflect active hosting use rather than a conventional owner-occupied setup. New STR bookings are paused for the sale period, so showings are straightforward to arrange. The City of Calgary STR licence (BL289938, 20-person occupancy) does not transfer with a sale — a buyer continuing operations applies for their own licence, and the seller provides full relicensing support, operational handover, and vendor introductions.
Disclosures: the seller is a licensed real estate professional and the owner of the property. A restrictive covenant is registered on title (building design and size restrictions; utility right-of-way — document available). The renovation was owner-led by Reimagine Builders, the seller’s construction company, which kept a full-time site team in the home from start to finish. Documented costs total $2.6M+ and combine third-party trade invoices with allocated internal labour at cost, excluding contractor margin — a comparable scope through an external general contractor would typically run 10–20% higher. All measurements per RMS; information believed accurate; verify independently.
Showings
Private showings by appointment — qualified buyers only. Text is fastest; 24-hour notice preferred, as the home remains in operation.
