Penthouse

The third floor, converted in 1999 to a luxury 4,500 sq. ft. penthouse suite features a roof top office and deck.  This floor was renovated to a very high standard and designed for the owner’s personal use and has never been occupied.  The concept was to have 3,000 sq. ft. for personal use and a one bedroom suite for guests and a bachelor suite for staff.  In total, there are 4 kitchens, six washrooms and six bedrooms.  In addition to the third floor improvements, the owner has added a roof top den/office with sliding glass doors to a large private patio. Some of the improvements include:

• Inlaid oak floors and panelled walls throughout
• Dropped ceiling, crown moldings, pot lights
• Bay windows with sitting area
• Two gas fireplaces
• Two built-in bar areas with sinks and wine coolers
• Living room and formal dining room
• Library
• Two kitchens
• 4 washrooms
• Guest and staff suites

The views from the third floor are unsurpassed and encompass Vancouver’s inner harbour and skyline that stretch from the Second Narrows Bridge to the Lion Gate Bridge; there are partial views from the second floor.  The daytime outlook highlights shipping traffic, Canada Place and city skyscrapers.  The night time views are just as spectacular with a skyline of twinkling lights.
