What they got
The two-bedroom unit has spectacular views of the ocean and mountains, located on the waterfront in the downtown neighbourhood of Yaletown, looking towards Granville Island. The 1,346 square-foot suite on the 29th floor had undergone more than $100,000 worth of updates, with quartz counters and new appliances, custom millwork, and hardwood flooring. But the bathroom was still true to the 1993 age of the building. There are four balconies and 340 square feet of outdoor space. The unit comes with two parking spaces, 24-hour concierge, indoor pool, gym and landscaped gardens. Pets and rentals are allowed.
“The location and lifestyle are amazing, by the marinas, everything can be done walking, biking, or transit. You only need your car to go out of town,” said the buyers’ agent, Nicolas Blachette.

The action
“The seller was a long-term investor and owned it for 32 years,” said Mr. Blachette. “The buyer will call it their new principal residence home, downsizing from a house to an urban and vibrant lifestyle.”
The seller received the one offer, he said.
The sale completed on June 2.

The agent’s take
“We are in a buyer’s market–but rare homes on Vancouver’s west side, with unique assets like extensive outdoor space, ocean views, bright open layouts with privacy, waterfront neighbourhoods – they sell fast and sometimes with multiple offers,” said Mr. Blachette.
