If you're tired of touring cookie-cutter homes that lack character or personality, there's a house for sale in southwest Calgary that may pique your interest.

Located in the community of Upper Mount Royal, 1308 Montreal Avenue S.W. is truly unlike other Calgary homes.

Called "Montreal House," it was built in 2015, conceived by architect Jeremy Sturgess.

To enter the home, you first walk up several stairs, then across a ramp that slopes upward toward the entryway.
