This bright and inviting top-floor, 682 sq.ft. one-bedroom condo is an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer, downsizer, or savvy investor. A similar top-floor unit in the building recently sold quickly—highlighting the ongoing demand for well-kept, centrally located homes like this one. Inside, you’ll appreciate the light-filled living room with a large picture window that brings in the afternoon sun, giving the home a warm, airy feel. The covered patio is surprisingly private and overlooks the quiet greenspace—perfect for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. The layout is functional and comfortable, offering a spacious 13'0 x 9'9 primary bedroom, an in-unit storage room, and an additional open area off the living room that works beautifully as a small office or study nook. The building is pet-friendly, and this particular unit has been owner-occupied, showing pride of care throughout. Residents benefit from an impressively low strata fee of $464.30/month, which includes heat, hot water, building insurance, water, sewer, garbage services, management, and a live-in caretaker—providing excellent value and low monthly expenses. The building also features a new roof, and this unit comes with one assigned parking stall conveniently located near the front entrance. The location is exceptional: directly across from Bowen Park, close to Buttertubs Marsh, and just minutes to downtown shopping, restaurants, golf, recreation, the Harbourfront Walkway, seaplanes, and marinas. NDSS, VIU, and major bus routes are all steps away, making this a highly walkable and transit-friendly neighbourhood.
