Description

This two-level, 1 bedroom (potential for 2) Gastown loft sits on one of the best blocks in the city, with 18-foot ceilings, exposed original brick and concrete, and gorgeous views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains. The living room anchors the main level around a fireplace with custom floating storage units on both sides and a custom mantle, the flex room (or 2nd bedroom) with its own custom wall unit, all by Union Wood Co. Full bath on the main. Upstairs: one bedroom and full bath. Custom linen window coverings and motorized roller blinds. Gastown offers the best cafes, restaurants and cocktail bars, and more all amongst Victorian architecture and cobblestone streets. Above it all, a shared rooftop patio offers picturesque sunsets. A statement for the design driven. (id:63159)

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
