Not everyone wants to pay for someone else's finishes. If you'd rather choose your own, this is your opportunity. This ground-floor 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom condo offers over 975 sqft, with a full bathroom off the entry, a generous living and dining area and a patio. The galley kitchen and bathrooms were updated years ago and are ready for a refresh. The primary bedroom has its own 2-piece ensuite and the second bedroom features a Murphy bed and updated flooring that is ready for you to finish. New flooring, paint and finishing work will transform the space! The well-managed building has seen window replacement and balcony remediation and there is a woodworking shop, community room, shared laundry, storage lockers and dedicated parking available. All ages are welcome, but there are no furry friends in this pet-free building. You are close to transit, schools, waterfront parks and shopping and about 5 minutes from downtown. Bring your vision and make this one entirely yours!
