every room and the renovated kitchen, finished with white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, quartz counters and a dishwasher, opens to a sunny dining nook wrapped in garden windows. It is the kind of spot where morning coffee comes with a view of the rhododendrons. The living room centres on a gas fireplace with a tile surround, and with gas included in the strata fees, a fire on a rainy night costs nothing extra. Slide open the door and the patio is yours alone, tucked behind mature plantings and wrought iron fencing, with room for a bistro set, a few planters and the barbecue. For a dog owner, a gate straight to the outdoors is a daily convenience most condos simply cannot offer. Storage is exceptional for a one bedroom. The bedroom has a proper walk-in closet, there is a full-height pantry closet off the kitchen, and the wide entry has space for a home office nook. The updated bathroom features a sleek walk-in glass shower, in suite laundry is tucked away behind a bifold door, and one parking stall is included, with additional parking, storage lockers and bike stalls available to rent from the strata as they come free. All of this sits within a well run, proactive strata where dogs and cats are welcome and long term rentals are permitted, making it a comfortable fit for a first time buyer, a downsizer who still wants a garden feel, or an investor looking for a one bedroom that is easy to rent and easy to own. A home that rewards a closer look. *Some of the photos have been digitally altered to show potential layout/ design or style changes.* (id:62650)
