Unique Penthouse for Sale
This is a large, multi-level, solo penthouse in the Oakridge neighbourhood of Vancouver's West Side. This is a true penthouse, it's not just a top floor unit. It is a small house sitting on the roof of the building. It's extremely rare to find an apartment like this for sale in Vancouver!
The building is a concrete high-rise designed by Gerald Hamilton, one of Vancouver's most iconic architects. Hamilton built a number of Vancouver landmarks including the Museum of Vancouver, The Planetarium, and many mid-century downtown office buildings. He designed this penthouse in 1959 in his signature New Formalist style.
In addition to the undeniable style and quality of the late 1950's, the most notable feature of this unique home is its views. Oakridge is, well, a ridge just off the shoulder of Queen Elizabeth Park/ Little Mountain. It's a high piece of land and this penthouse is the highest thing on it. The results are 360 degree views, pretty much unobstructed.
So, two levels, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, total privacy, unlimited views, all in a smart building that was built to last.
