The big sell: Listing agent Rod Bahari reports that an interesting fact about this sale and the one below on Wilkie Avenue is that the sellers of both swapped homes by buying each other’s properties.

Residents of the development have access to the Riverclub, with resort-style facilities that include a swimming pool, gymnasium, sports court and meeting rooms.

The big sell: This eighth-floor condo is in Vancouver’s tony West Point Grey district at the gateway to UBC and has views across the fairways of University Golf Club, thanks to the south-westerly direction that the unit faces. It is in the 10-storey Westgate tower at the corner of West 10th Avenue and Blanca Street, which has distinctive turquoise mosaic tiles, a white exterior and curved balconies. The leasehold suite (prepaid to 2083) features an airy and bright living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a renovated kitchen with dark granite counters, a stainless-steel built-in four-burner glass cooktop and a separate built-in oven. The building has a shared laundry and the unit comes with a stall in the underground parking. The monthly maintenance fee is $406.00 (which includes taxes) and rentals are permitted. Listing agent Faith Wilson confirms that there is no individual B.C. assessed value as this is a leasehold building.
