The history
Built in 1912, and technically two properties, the Riversong Mansions is a beaux arts-style apartment hotel. The Riversong has housed many movie stars over the years, including cast and crew from The Assassination of Jesse James, Hell on Wheels, Heartland, the Oscar-winning The Revenant and more. The two properties feature 11 separate suites as well as housekeeping quarters and are connected by an underground tunnel.
What to love
The property is turnkey and comes fully furnished and packed with an eclectic collection of antiques, artwork and furniture pieces used on past movie sets. Who knows, Leo could have lounged on one of the couches or Brad could have made scrambled eggs in one of the upgraded kitchens. The 12,000-square-foot lot private faces the Bow River and is ideally located in Sunnyside. Leave your desk job and start your very own luxury bed and breakfast.
What to consider
With original woodwork throughout, clawfoot bathtubs and individually furnished suites, it will be challenging to pick your favourite unit between the two sprawling mansions.
