The big sell: This two-bedroom condo resides in the heart of the West End in The Palladian building, a four-storey complex with forty units that was built in 1988. Sitting at the corner of Nelson and Bidwell streets, it is within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, beaches and Stanley Park. This upper-level home enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to its southwesterly exposure and a 16-foot-long living room. The primary bedroom has space for an office desk or reading nook, and the kitchen has been opened up to overlook the dining and living areas. There is plenty of storage throughout the home including a large pantry that houses the insuite washer and dryer, and the fireplace currently has an electric insert but listing agent Adam Chahl reports that it could be converted back to wood burning if desired. The home comes with granite countertops and updated appliances, parking, and a monthly maintenance fee of $430.17.
