Beautiful & fully developed property located on Matonabee Street, the longstanding heart & soul of Downtown Yellowknife. This 1950s neighbourhood has always been a desirable location, with charming properties set back on large 9000 sq ft lots. Majestic trees line the curb, and there is easy access to downtown, Frame Lake trails, and the Avens campus.
Every property is unique, but this one is a stunner. The attractive heritage-style home originally built for government officials is a 2-storey residence on full basement, with a modern add-on family room and entry. It gives this 3-bed, 2-bath home the perfect design and size for almost any family.
The second residence on this property is a 2-bedroom Cape Cod cottage-style home, complete with a 2nd storey office or family room, all on a concrete slab foundation. It features a full kitchen and bath, plus its own private deck space, alley-access parking, and a single-car garage.
Everything in this home is fully permitted and meticulously maintained — move-in ready!

The Property

Matonabee Street – This 1950s expansion from “New Town” features oversized downtown lots and wide streets with sidewalks that lead to Frame Lake & Sombe Ke’ Park.

Bordering this area is a seniors community, a primary school, and community trails.

The Garage

16′ x 20′ single-plus garage is a great workshop currently being used by the tenant. There is a unit heater connected to the boiler that could be used if desired. 

The Works

A full pre-sale inspection is available for this property. The current owner has resided here for almost 25 years and has completed extensive work on the original home, as well as constructing both the second residence and the garage—all under the city’s guidance through permitting and qualified contractors.

The original forced-air furnace has been replaced with a dependable Weil mclain boiler that provides heat for the first residence with a fan coil and in-floor heating lines for the family room, the entrance and lower floor bathroom. The boiler also provides heat for the second residence with underground insulated heating lines and a fan coil. The sewer and water lines are running alongside the heating lines with heat-trace back up .

Most of the electrical system has been upgraded in the first residence with new distribution panels and wiring. There is a separate electrical service/meter for the second residence.  

Several original components of the home have been preserved, such as hardwood flooring, baseboards, and trim, maintaining its charm and character. A new owner can expect years of comfortable living with only routine annual maintenance, while benefiting from a secured income already in place and efficient utilities.

Price includes: appliances, window coverings & 3 yr tenant in place.
