Architect Arthur Erickson died last May but "he leaves behind a legacy of stunning and awe-inspiring landmarks worldwide, from government [in Vancouver for example, S.F.U and the Vancouver Law Courts]and commercial buildings, to residential masterpieces," says agent Faith Wilson. "1178 West 7th is one of these works," she says.
The 2,793-square-foot, split-level house is a "contemporary beauty, with water, city and mountains views from the entertainment-sized rooftop patio," she says.
This two-bedroom, three-bathroom residence has floor-to-ceiling windows, fir floors and a "chef's gourmet" kitchen.
Upstairs, the bedrooms both have private ensuite bathrooms and the floor-to ceiling windows, wood floors and concrete construction on the main living level, "exemplify the spacious, open floor plan," says Ms. Wilson.
A $542 monthly maintenance fee takes care of the gardening and management, while a central location places this one-of-a-kind suite in the midst of South Granville Street's shops, galleries and restaurants.
Granville Island is also just a walk away and downtown Vancouver only minutes by boat, bike, car, or public transit.
The "new owners immediately fell in love with this home and cannot wait to move in," she adds.
