LISTING AGENT Keith Roy, Macdonald Realty
What They Got
This two-bedroom, two full-bathroom corner unit townhouse is a stone's throw from Kitsilano Beach, with views of English Bay and the North Shore mountains. It's a big unit, at 1,200 sq. ft., with an updated kitchen, vaulted living room, wood burning fireplace and west facing balcony. The living room is upstairs, to take advantage of the view. The building was built in 1979.
The Action
The seller had lived in the unit since it was built. "The buyers already knew someone in the building and loved the quality of the building and the location," says listing agent Keith Roy. "This corner suite had an extra bank of windows and excellent views. Everyone who saw it said it felt more like a house than a townhome."
The Agent's Take
"North of Fourth Avenue is the ultimate Kitsilano location," says Mr. Roy. "You are only one block to one of the best beaches in the world, the country's largest outdoor salt-water pool, and just a flew blocks away from great shopping on Fourth Avenue."
