Anyway, we found a beautiful 2 story, 1800sq/ft 1913 home in the Shaganappi area that we've bought. It is the kind of area I was looking for, the kind that not a lot of people know about yet is a quiet gem. We got the house for under our $500,000 budget meaning we have enough money left over to renovate. Thankfully the ecoEnergy Grant just increased by 25% and the federal home improvement tax rebate for this year will counter the costs of insulation and a new furnace. And the room are large enough to continue with house concerts. Bought my new domain name today and expect to get shows up and running late Fall.
Thanks to everyone who gave their input with this. It took a bit of time but looks like it will work out as planned.
Best,
