The Details: 302-2028 York Avenue | $3,655,000 | 1,641 sq. ft. | 2 bed plus den, 2 bath

The Condo: It’s not often we see a penthouse of this caliber (and price) come up in Kitsilano. Not only is it located in a new and small boutique building, but people who buy this type of property tend to hold on to it for a while.

This stunning two-bedroom plus den penthouse is the largest unit in the building. If you’re looking for a property in a killer location, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to entertain, yet still have a large functional unit to call home, this may well be the place for you.

With direct access to the penthouse from the elevator, this home really does have everything. In-floor radiant heat, a huge kitchen with large island, wine fridge, pantry, Fish Paykel appliance package, quartz counter tops, spa tubs and steam showers in the bathrooms, and don’t forget the views from the private roof top patio. Just imagine sitting back in the hot tub, glass of wine in hand, watching the Kitsilano night sky.

York at 2028 York Avenue is a two year old boutique (just six units) building in the heart of Kitsilano. Pets and rentals are both permitted, and there are two parking stalls included, in addition to two large storage lockers.

The Neighbourhood: York is located at the corner of York Avenue and Maple Street, just steps away from the popular Kits Beach and the hustle and bustle of West 4th. With shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. This home is the perfect fit for couples, small families or a retiree.

Potential Downsides: The floor plans aren’t fantastic. They have a lot of hallway space which doesn’t maximize the total square footage. Some may feel the finishing’s could be of a slightly higher quality compared to other luxury buildings in Vancouver.
