Kitsilano Oceanside Sanctuary: Top-Floor 2BR (1BR + Office) by Quiet Park

Description

Nothing to do but move in and feel at home. Tucked into the top 3rd floor at the quiet back of the building. Killarney Manor is a 1956 character building on Vancouver's coveted "Golden Mile". This bright, spacious two-bedroom suite almost feels like a cottage out in the country, yet sits in the heart of Kitsilano with everything a short walk away. Bright Living Spaces: A large, high-ceiling living room looks straight out over Tatlow Park and its creek, with peekaboo glimpses of English Bay and the North Shore mountains through the trees. Original 1956 hardwood floors, windows, and an updated open-concept kitchen make it a warm place to rest, study, or host. Far from any road or traffic in the south-east corner of the building, it is a truly private and quiet sanctuary. Low winter sun pours through the south-facing kitchen, bedroom, and office windows. Bedrooms & Home Office: The main bedroom features a beautifully carved French-provincial bed frame, a closet on each side, and a sunny window bench nook. The second bedroom works as a guest room with a queen-size fold-out couch, doubling as a yoga/exercise space and a fully equipped home office. Anchored by a solid-mahogany electric standing desk wired for a multi-monitor setup, with power and displays through a single USB-C cable, ready to accelerate your work and research. Kitchen: The updated open-concept kitchen is fully equipped and ready to cook in from day one. Just bring groceries. Bathroom: A full bathroom with tub-shower and skylight. Spacious Layout: A generous 944 sq ft floor plan with a large entrance and hall, and gardens wrapping the property. Turnkey & Included: Heat, hydro, hot water, and ultra-fast 1 Gbps Telus fibre internet (Wi-Fi configured) are all included, along with linens, towels, and cleaning supplies. One dedicated garage parking space (plus bike storage), with easy street parking nearby. The building has a live-in caretaker, an active garden committee keeping the grounds in blossom year-round, a private strata patio just outside the nearest exit. A well-kept laundry room is a short walk away by stairs or elevator, rarely busy, as many larger units have their own in-suite Location & Lifestyle: Steps from bus routes (4, 14, 44, 84) for a direct commute to UBC (about 15 minutes) or downtown via the 2. About 30 minutes by bike to UBC along one of the most beautiful urban commutes anywhere. Follow Point Grey Road, Spanish Banks, and Pacific Spirit on a low-traffic route with breath-taking views of English Bay and the mountains. Walking distance to Jericho and Kitsilano beaches, longtime restaurants like The Naam, and the shops along 4th and Broadway. Close to organic markets, Fresh St. Market, Whole Foods, Safeway, yoga studios, parks, and boutique shops. Step across the street to Volunteer Park, where the recently restored historic "First Creek" meanders to panoramic views of the city, English Bay, the mountains, and beautiful sunsets, with a new wheelchair-accessible ramp down to the water. Modo and Evo car-shares nearby make day trips easy. Ideal for professors, researchers, and discerning professionals who value a quiet, functional home with a dedicated workspace and an unbeatable location. For those who appreciate cleanliness, character, and a respectful living atmosphere. We're heading off for a nine-month internship and will clear away all our personal effects to leave a fresh, fully-furnished, clean canvas for you. We just ask that you keep the plants watered (about once a week).
