LISTING AGENT AND CO-OP AGENT Keith Roy, Macdonald Realty

The Action: This one-bedroom plus den suite at Retro Lofts was initially listed for $335,000, but reduced to $325,000. About a dozen parties came through the property for private showings, but it was one of the visitors to an open house who came back with an offer.

What They Got: On the ground floor of a seven-year-old, rain-screened low-rise, this 676-square-foot unit was designed as a bright, open-concept space with 10-foot ceilings, wall of windows and access to a 150-square-foot patio through the den, which can be entered from the master bedroom or the fireside living room.

The finishes are upscale, including real fir flooring throughout, subway tiles and Kohler fixtures in the semi-ensuite bathroom, and slate tile backsplashes, granite counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.

Other essentials consist of stacked laundry machines and ensuite storage, as well as underground parking.

The monthly fee of $250 covers the upkeep of common areas, such as a gym, bike room and courtyard.

The Agent's Take: "It is a very convenient location with access to big box shopping in Richmond, grocery shopping on Granville and downtown via Granville Street, Oak Street or the Canada Line," agent Keith Roy says. "Marpole is an affordable compromise for people who want a west-side address and a more affordable price."

This suite is also well situated in the building. "What makes this unit unique is the oversized patio that leads out to the common courtyard," Mr. Roy adds.
