Listed on Albrighton Real Estate this East Cordova Street apartment is nestled in a building that was originally built in 1909. Used in several different days for nearly a century its new-found avatar as a loft condominium was completed in 2006 even while preserving some of the original brick walls and woodwork.
Set in a sough-after neighborhood of Gastown Vancouver the fabulous apartment that is currently up for grabs will set you back by. That does seem like a bargain when you consider the locality of the loft its modern interior that is disturbed by exposed brick walls wooden ceiling beams and metallic duct pipes and of course the flexible open floor plan.
A cantilevered mezzanine becomes the setting of choice for this casual area while the outdoor courtyard becomes a part of the interior thanks to large glass windows throughout the house. Timber frames and shutters play a pivotal role in shaping both the façade of the home and the ambiance inside even while allowing the homeowners to switch between complete privacy and lovely views.
As is the case with most heritage homes it is the rear addition that comes to the rescue here extending the living area even while leaving the two bedrooms at the front of the house largely untouched.
The entrance to the living area is through the fabulous roof garden and the central courtyard that sits 6 feet below ground. As you descend into this secure space street noises and the sound of trains hurrying in the distance slowly starts to disappear.
If you are an adventurer at heart or simply wish to escape the mundane by travelling into what seems like an audaciously ‘alien’ world then it is hard to imagine a more surreal spot for the Infinity house than the rugged shores it sits on. Color is a stranger inside this dashing house with large black shelves white backdrops and touches of gray dominating the design palette.
Outdoor sunken seating innovative kids’ bedrooms and a plunge pool that overlooks a natural ping in the distance are few of the many captivating features at this luxurious Indian home. Complete with comfy modern décor and eco-friendly lighting life at Cest La Vie feels like an absolute breeze!
