About This Home
Big on location, low on maintenance, and packed with personality, this charming one-bedroom condo in Academy Square proves you do not need a lot of square footage to live a very full life. Set inside a secured building in the heart of downtown Vancouver, you are just minutes from the Waterfront, Clark College, Fort Vancouver, parks, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, transit, and plenty of reasons to leave the car parked. Inside, original hardwood floors bring the character, while fresh paint, plantation shutters, and thoughtful updates keep the space feeling polished and move-in ready. The bathroom has been completely remodeled, and a brand-new furnace adds comfort and peace of mind. Large windows fill the home with natural light and overlook the peaceful shared courtyard, the perfect spot to relax, catch up with neighbors, or pretend you have your own secret garden in the middle of the city. A dedicated basement storage unit provides extra room for bikes, seasonal décor, or all the things you swear you are going to organize someday. HOA dues cover landscaping, common areas, exterior maintenance, gated access, insurance, grounds maintenance, sewer, trash, and water, making this an easy place to own, rent, and enjoy. Whether you are a first-time buyer ready to break up with renting, an investor looking for a smart downtown property, or a student who would rather live close to class and the good coffee, this condo checks all the right boxes. Historic charm, fresh updates, and a location doing some serious heavy lifting, this little gem is ready for its next chapter.
