Asking $265,000
I am pleased to present this gorgeous one bedroom unit in the heart of Kerrisdale. Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled within its own English garden lies the aptly named Manor Gardens at 2320 West 40th. Right from the approach along the leafy avenue you will note that this is no ordinary building. It exudes charm and class with it’s brick facade and archways. It welcomes you home.
Entering the suite, which is just one floor up, you are greeted with a home that has been designed with purpose and decorated with taste. The flooring is all high quality laminate throughout and the only room with four full walls is the bathroom. The entire rest of the 560 sq.ft. is open maximizing the use of space and creating a sense that belies its true dimensions.
The kitchen has an opening to the dining area and has enough space for even a gourmand to cater an engagement party (true!). The walls are drenched in a paint that took five coats to complete and display a warmth and richness rarely seen in this city.
The dining room is completely open to the living room with a wonderful feature wall and fireplace perfect for displaying your art. The texture that makes up this wall recalls old world charm and mixes well with the original fireplace mantle. While you may no longer burn wood in the firplace (building bylaws) you are welcome to use the electric insert which is included. It can be turned on for heat or just display.
Just beyond that is the balcony which is certainly a decent enough size to barbeque or to relax after a long day out and about. It’s west facing and provides you the most amount of sun and natural light… but don’t worry about needing an airconditioner. It’s also treed which provides just the right amount of shade and privacy.
The suite also features its own insuite laundry. I cannot stress how incredible this is. For most buildings built in 1979 there is simply no way to have your own washer dryer… but you can here. You also have extra storage in the locker provided and a place to park your car.
The question then becomes how often will you need your car. You see, this is Kerrisdale and Kerrisdale means 41st Ave. There you will find quaint shops, cafes, bistrots, supermarkets, salons, and one of the most charming neighbourhoods in the city. The Kerrisdale Arena is just down the street at Arbutus and features skating in the winter, kids events in the summer.
