A Historic Edmonton Building Gets a New Lease on Life

July 11, 2020

We take a sneak peek inside a 68 year-old synagogue turned family home in downtown Edmonton.

Built in 1952, this stunning home was once a place of worship and continues to be awe-inspiring to this day for perhaps less religious reasons. The original Synagogue has undergone significant renovations since the owners purchased it in 1999. At that time they had the building completely gutted and with only the outer walls left standing, they started to rebuild and redesign.

Located in the Oliver area of downtown Edmonton, the home features 17,000 square feet of living space. From the rooftop patio to the downstairs gymnasium, hot tub and five car underground garage, this home is an absolute stunner with artwork and sculptures by local artist and photographer, Tatyana Semenova.

The front door opens to a beautiful entrance hall with a grand staircase leading up to the family living space that wraps around the outer walls of the upper portion of the house. Other features of the hours include a sideyard fire-pit, a music system that pumps music throughout the house and sports and games room complete with a pool table and three televisions.
