OPEN HOUSE in VIRTU, Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17, 2-4.

Sat, 16 Aug 2014 18:00:00 GMT

#404 - 1650 W.7th Ave (and Fir) in Vancouver

Here is a very rare opportunity to get into VIRTU, a modern development that offers one of the best locations in the Fairview neighbourhood. Although the building is on a quiet street, you are completely surrounded by shopping, restaurants, galleries, theaters and access to public transportation on all sides. Whether it’s the bounty of shops on South Granville and Broadway, the thriving culinary scene on 4^th Avenue, quick and easy access to both downtown and Kits Beach or the amazing Market at Granville Island, everything you could possibly need is just a few short blocks away.

From the artist’s gallery/studio to the gym, to the two massive bike storage lockers and the private grass courtyard/garden area with playground, you can see that VIRTU is not your average building. Your unit features hardwood maple floors (2011), granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The open concept floorplan looks out of large windows and you can soak up the evening sun while enjoying views of the North Shore mountains and BBQing on your west-facing patio. And to top it all off, the strata is very proactive with an extremely healthy CRF.

OPEN HOUSE

Can you imagine a horse wearing people shoes? Outrageous!

Have you ever wondered what those tucked away vintage Horseshoe Bay homes look like on the inside? Do you like the idea of living away from the city in a laid back, family friendly community that is just a quick 30 minute drive from downtown Vancouver? Do you want to bring me a sandwich and maybe some cookies?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES then come on out to 6421 Nelson Avenue tomorrow between 2 and 4. I’ll be hosting at this West Van classic nestled away on a beautiful, sloping lot in the village of Horseshoe Bay. The main floor features a modern gourmet kitchen with granite counters, teak cabinets & gleaming hardwood floors throughout. BBQ friendly deck off the kitchen looks out to a very unique multi-level backyard. Loads of character and an income producing legal suite downstairs make this one a must see.

Stop by on Sunday between 2 and 4!

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao-tzu

Crazy old Lao, doesn't he know it takes hundreds of steps, then a short drive, then a few more steps if you want to come visit me at the Open House I'm hosting this weekend?

If you're out and about in North Van this weekend why not come by and say Hi! I will be at 3124 Lonsdale on Saturday and Sunday between 2-4, in a spacious three level townhouse that's been given the once over by Shakespeare Homes and Renos (www.shakespearehomes.com). This Upper Lonsdale property features two south facing patios with a view, three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a potential "man cave" in the basement. Skylights open the space up nicely and there are loads of parks, schools and shopping all around.

Come on by for free hugs and a Mini Easter Egg Hunt!

Hint: They will be in a bowl on the kitchen table.
