Description

Features

It has been a notorious hotel, a candy factory, an outfitters supply house, a warehouse and then in 1982 it was converted to a 17 unit condominium. The building has never actually been re-built and some of the orginal materials are still being used. The beautiful Douglas Fir posts and the brick lend to the overall structure and not just decorative effect.

This particular suite shares the 5th and 6th floors - which are considered the Penthouses. There is a New York funky loft feel throughout with the upper floor has the main living area including a skylit kitchen with stainless upgrades, massive open-plan living space with a cosy-corner sitting area. There is oak flooring throughout and an impressive wood burning fireplace. The focal point is the 200 sq ft private deck and the awe-inspring views of the downtown skyline, cruise ships on Burrard Inlet and lights of the North Shore. Returning downstairs there are two large water-view bedrooms each having brick and beam accents. This floor also has two full baths, and a sunny den/office area which could double as a 3rd bedroom. There is insuite laundry in a handy work shop/storage area and secured parking - which is considered priceless by hertiage standards!

There is no need to wait for this bit of Gastown to emerge. Mission House is central to many happening spots such as the Alibi Room, Le Marrakech and Chill Winston but still distant enough from clubs. There has been a recent re-introduction of retail showrooms and galleries that cater to the serious urbanite. This neighbourhood already has been established with several lofts/condos and is especially convenient to the new underground design enclave that has been recently labelled "Railtown".
