The big sell: Norfolk Place is a 23-unit complex with homes divided over four levels. It was built in 1999 on a cul-de-sac close to major roads, transit arteries, BCIT and shopping. This upper-floor unit was renovated in 2017 and has stainless-steel appliances, stone countertops, a premium washer and dryer in the laundry room, a marble-tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower, a Kohler soaker tub and closet organizers. Laminate floors and neutral paint tones are found throughout the home, which has a bright interior thanks to its south-facing aspect. Listing agent Colette Gerber reports that there is plenty of space for “house-sized” furniture, as demonstrated by the 21-footlong master bedroom, which has a walk-in closet and ensuite. The unit comes with two parking stalls and a storage locker and a strata that permits both rentals and pets. The monthly maintenance fee is $382.36.
