The place

A fully renovated two-bedroom suite with a north-facing balcony, located a short walk from the lake.

The history

The building was completed in 1996. The sellers bought this unit last year and completely remodelled it. They opened up the kitchen and dining area, installed custom kitchen cabinetry and closets, gave the concrete floors a shiny epoxy finish and added an antique sliding barn door for the master bedroom.

Here’s the dining area:

The living area has a fireplace:

Big selling point

The renovation sacrificed additional bedroom space in favour of a large kitchen with a unique layout. There’s even a built-in espresso machine.

The kitchen is by the entrance to the unit:

Possible deal breaker

The large common spaces don’t leave a lot of room for a family to sleep or have private time. This place is more suited to downsizers.
