1553 W 8th Avenue, Vancouver BC

A building of penthouses—not just a penthouse in a building. This 2-bedroom + den, 1,308 sqft corner home is one of only 20, with no shared walls and natural light in every room. Rare South and North exposures offer a quiet connection to tree-lined West Eighth and a private architectural lightwell anchored by a Japanese garden. Ground-floor access means everyday convenience—no elevator needed. The horizontal layout flows easily between kitchen, living, and dining, while a generous, covered patio invites year-round use. Designed by the office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers (OMB), where luxury lives in restraint and form follows function. Assessed at $1,962,000, this is a rare chance to own in a low-turnover, design-forward building—priced well below assessed value. Open Sat 2-4.
