The WeLoveEastVan Team is proud to present this studio unit near Commercial Drive – #111 at 1545 East 2nd Ave (near Woodland Drive). This studio unit has been updated with a new kitchen and bathroom, built in Queen Size Murphy bed and storage, wall mounted TV and extra finishing details like new flooring, tiling and light fixtures. The unit also comes with an extra 137sqft patio south facing patio (so you’ll get lots of sun) that’s big enough for a BBQ and table and chairs.
The building, Talishan Woods, is a 1976-built building that has been well maintained with a new elevator this year, new roof in 2012, new exterior paint in 2009. For peace of mind, the building also has Depreciation Report. The unit comes with 1 underground parking spot and a storage locker. The building offers shared laundry and a bike room.
The building is only a block and a hal to the best part of Commercial Drive: you’re close to food shops and the Super Valu on East 1st Ave and some of the best restaurants including La Mezcaleria, Falconetti’s, La Grotta del Formaggio and Take Home Thai. The BC Liquor Store is only 2 blocks away. The Commercial Drive Skytrain Station is 8 blocks away and you’re a quick bike ride to Main St, Chinatown, Gastown and Downtown.
