Premium finishes reflect Chelsea location
In the show suite (the Plan D1 floor plan) the eight-by-three-foot peninsula with a waterfall edge is an elegant design feature that provides a large working surface that also doubles as a place where the family can pull up a few kitchen stools for a quick meal.
It was a reminder how amazing it is and how fortunate we are in Vancouver to have such a fantastic amenity in our city.
Potential homebuyers can also see two of the available kitchen upgrades in the suite: a built-in Wolf coffee maker is a good fit above the wall oven, while a wine fridge conveniently opens on the dining room side of the peninsula.
In the ensuite bathroom, elongated hexagonal tiles on the floor of the shower extend up the wall in another modern interpretation of a traditional feature.
The shower has a bench covered with the same stone as the bathroom counter, while a linear drain and rainshower head give the space a sophisticated ambience. The vanity, with double sinks and polished chrome Kohler faucets, is raised on a black frame.
This black accent, also used to frame the glass partition in the shower, is repeated in other places, such as the door between the second bedroom and den, to enhance the feeling of continuity.
Turcotte says the premium finishes reflect the significance of Chelsea’s location.
“During the planning process, I visited the area and took walks in Queen Elizabeth Park. It was a reminder how amazing it is and how fortunate we are in Vancouver to have such a fantastic amenity in our city.”
In addition to enjoying walks and summer picnics in the 52-hectare park, it’s also a popular vantage point to admire the views across the city and to the mountains on the North Shore. The park, named for Elizabeth, the Queen’s mother, is also home to the famous Bloedel Conservatory, the Dancing Waters fountain, the spectacular Quarry Garden and the Rose Garden planted in 1967 to commemorate Canada’s Centennial.
All units at Chelsea include a parking space and some buyers will have the opportunity to add a second parking stall, Turcotte says.
Amenities include a gym and a social area to host gatherings and an outdoor area for barbecues.
