What They Got:
Boasting a panoramic south river valley view, this condo blends classic elements with unobstructed views. At over 1,300 square feet, it has two south-facing bedrooms two bathrooms and underground parking. An older concrete downtown highrise with good bones, it has a fantastic social room and patio that backs on to river valley.
The Buyer’s Take:
The condo was very well maintained and decorated which made the buyer feel comfortable, as did the existing neighbours. There weren’t many upgrades in the property except for appliances, a fireplace and an enclosed patio. A prime, downtown location, river valley views and proximity to high-end restaurants and shopping (and reduction in price) made this purchase a no-brainer.
The Agent’s Take:
Realtor Alison Murray says there’s no doubt the south-facing views contributed to the fast sale of this unit in a 30-years-old building. But adds that many of the other south facing units in the building don’t always move as quickly: “When you have a condo that has universal design elements like continuity and timeless materials like oak hardwood floors, and cabinets coupled with staging that included beautiful artwork and antique pieces of furniture, it makes it warm and inviting. My co-agent and I worked hard at facilitating a mutually satisfying sale for both the buyer and seller.”
