This is a very nicely renovated home in the heart of Arbutus Walk in Kits. Architect redesigned, this home has a unique lateral layout that maximizes beautiful western sunlight throughout the day, bathing it in warm, natural light. With a top floor orientation this home is exceptionally quiet, contributing to the serene and calm feeling of the space.

Upon entering, the thoughtful, efficient design and excellent flow of distinct living spaces become immediately apparent. The open-concept living area seamlessly transitions to an expansive 400 sqft private deck. This exceptional outdoor space offers western views, ideal for enjoying picturesque sunsets and some glimpses of the surrounding mountains. With this indoor-outdoor living design, it’s easy to entertain guests or simply relax in your own quiet, private oasis.

Interior finishings include engineered hardwood floors, marble in the bathroom and kitchen, translucent glass doors, a European slider door to the patio, and various custom built-ins. Modern light fixtures and small touches like outlet covers with hidden fasteners contribute to the contemporary feel of this home.

The kitchen features marble waterfall countertops and a back-painted glass backsplash for a very modern effect. Equipped with new high-quality appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel gas range, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. 

The bedroom is designed with comfort and privacy in mind, complemented by new built-in closets and shelving to maximize storage. There are of course large windows overlooking the patio from this room.

A custom-designed office space with wrap-around built-ins provides a versatile area for work or study, ensuring that your home meets all your needs without sacrificing style or space. This is a very efficient, self contained space, with excellent privacy and is perfect for those that work from home.

This well-maintained building is home to many long-standing owners and features a well run strata with full time on-site maintenance, ensuring that all common areas are in top condition. The building recently received a new roof, plumbing was done relatively recently, and the membrane has seen significant work. 

Arbutus Walk is a quiet family-friendly neighbourhood, surrounded by schools, parks, and playgrounds. The green space between 10th and 12th avenues offers a peaceful escape from the energy and bustle of the city. 

Residents enjoy easy access to great shops and services like Pete’s Meat, Loblaws, a liquor store, Greens Organic Store, London Drugs, medical clinics, and more. Just two blocks away, Kits Community Centre hosts the summer farmer's market. 

You can walk to 4th avenue shops and restaurants, and transit options are plentiful, with Arbutus/ Broadway bus stops nearby for routes to UBC, downtown, and beyond. Plus, the Arbutus Greenway and 10th Avenue bike route make getting around by foot or bike a breeze.

This home comes with two side-by-side parking spots, well located in the parkade. There’s also a large storage locker measuring 6’5” x 9’5”. 

This home is the ideal space for those looking to downsize without compromising on privacy, build quality or outdoor space. Embrace the simplicity of condo life while enjoying the privacy and expansive outdoor area that this unique home offers. 

A unique layout, the re-design by an architect, an excellent outdoor space, a top floor situation, and a wonderful location all contribute to a great place to live. Come see us at our open house, or contact us for a private showing.
