"Described as “one of the most sophisticated buying opportunities of this century,” the iconic Hart mansion, one of the country’s most famous historical residences, has been listed for sale in Calgary for nearly $5 million, the Herald has learned.

The three-storey mansion, formerly owned by wrestling’s famous Hart clan and currently owned by Dario Berloni, owner of the downtown Teatro Restaurant, is about 5,600 square feet on about one hectare of land with stunning views of the city from Patina Place S.W.

It has been refurbished inside, but the legendary dungeon, a specially outfitted, custom-built basement where famous wrestlers trained over the years, has been preserved."
