1005 4638 GLADSTONE STREET, Vancouver BC V5N 0G5

Morning coffee comes with downtown, the North Shore mountains and the water filling floor-to-ceiling glass, ten floors up. This bright, modern 3 bed plus den, 2 bath home sits on the 10th floor of Kensington Gardens by Westbank, a concrete high-rise in East Vancouver's Kensington-Cedar Cottage, minutes from Nanaimo SkyTrain. It's on the quiet side, away from Kingsway. German cabinetry, quartz counters and a Miele gas cooktop gather around an island made for long dinners, and the den works as an office or in-suite storage. A full-width balcony carries the view outside, and the primary has a walk-in closet and a soaker-tub ensuite. Heat, hot water and A/C are in the strata fee. With T&T Supermarket downstairs plus a pool, hot tub, sauna, gym and theatre, every day feels like a getaway.
