About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a commercially zoned condo/loft in the heart of Hillcrest. Be prepared to be wowed. This unit is over 1500 square feet and is priced well below other units in the complex of similar size. This is a true loft with exposed concrete, glass sliding partitions, a European-style kitchen and lots of open spaces to both live and work. (if so desired!) A street front gated entry patio is perfect to enjoy coffee in the morning, meet with customers and friends outdoors along with enjoying that glass of wine at night. Being zoned commercial, you are also allowed to install signage outside for that business you have been dreaming about. The layout is not only unique, but functional for those many aspects of your life that go beyond the mundane that exists in every other condo in the city!
