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

Description

Nothing to do but move in and feel at home. Located on the 3rd (top) floor at the quiet back of the Killarney Manor, a 1956 character building on Vancouver's coveted Point Grey Rd. This bright, spacious two-bedroom sits in the heart of Kitsilano with everything just a short walk away. I am a UBC PhD student headed this fall to California for a 9 month internship, living with my partner. Our home is set up for an individual, couple, or small family of up to three, with a large flex room for guest stays and home office work. It is in an incredible location and building offering the best of quiet oceanside living, with a full suite of amenities within 2-3 blocks. We want you to feel comfortable with your stay in Vancouver and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Bright Living Spaces: Large, high-ceiling living room looks straight out over Tatlow Park and its creek. Original hardwood floors, windows, and an updated open-concept kitchen. It is a truly private and quiet sanctuary with bright East and South facing windows. Bedrooms & Home Office: The main bedroom has closet space on each side of the bed, and a sunny window bench nook. The second bedroom functions as a guest room with a queen-size fold-out couch (with optional memory foam topper for comfort), doubling as a yoga/exercise space and a fully equipped home office. A solid-mahogany electric standing desk is wired for a multi-monitor setup with power delivery all 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. Included: - Heat, hydro, hot water - Ultra-fast 1 Gbps Telus fibre internet (Wi-Fi configured) - Linens, towels, etc. A well-kept laundry room is a short walk down the hall by stairs or elevator, rarely busy, as many larger units have their own in-suite. 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. Location & Lifestyle: Steps from bus routes (4, 14, 44, 84) for a direct commute to UBC or downtown via the 2. About 30 minutes by bike to UBC along one of the most beautiful urban commutes. 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. We 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).
