Dream Home: $8.9 Million for a Penthouse Suite at Vancouver House

Calling all urbanites who are looking for an upgrade and an opportunity to see the city’s skyline! This Vancouver House penthouse suite situated in the heart of the city offers incredible views, modern interior design elements and a chic exterior building. Vancouver House is located right at the entrance to downtown Vancouver, where Granville bridge trifurcates when it reaches downtown. 

Address: Ph5 1480 Howe Street, Vancouver

Price: $8,900,000

Listing: R2944017 

The skinny: Two-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,694-square-foot penthouse in Yaletown

The chic:  Before you scoff at the concept of a condo at this price point, take a look at this 59th floor unit’s water and mountain views. This Vancouver House penthouse’s scenery is certainly a spectacle to marvel at. A bonus is that there are plenty of cafes and entertainment options right in your backyard, so you can enjoy the convenience and liveliness of city living. 

This unit offers modern interior design elements, including floor-to-ceiling windows, clean white walls and chrome and black hardware accents throughout. The Boffi kitchen features an eye-catching asymmetrical Corian island, as well as a backlit orange backsplash. The oak-coloured chevron flooring adds an interesting touch to an otherwise understated material palette in the home. 

The master suite in this home features a five-piece ensuite bathroom with marble-patterned stone walls and flooring. The many glass elements in this space, like the shower glass door and the glass divider for a separate bathtub space, makes the room feel wider and more spacious. 

My personal favourite part of this home is the ability to see views of the city, the waters and the mountains in each of the rooms. Revamp your daily routine to include your morning coffee with a side of North Shore mountains.

The hidden extras:

This penthouse unit also offers a 1,399-square-feet roof garden, where you can lounge or mingle with friends during the warmer months. The roof garden features full-height glass railings for clear, open views of Vancouver and beyond.
