The big sell: Architect Marko Simcic designed this three-bedroom waterfront cottage with a modern spin in 2015. Situated on five acres towards the south-west corner of Gambier Island, the home consists of a series of stand-alone rooms connected via trellis-covered walkways with the end result being rooms that are flooded with natural light on all sides, aided by the gently-sloping gradient of the land. The conjoined living room and gourmet kitchen showcases a selection of premium Bosch, Miele and Liebherr stainless-steel appliances alongside an expansive centre island, while a feature wood-burning fireplace is flanked by windows framing ocean and treed vistas. Other noteworthy attributes include radiant heating, skylit vaulted ceilings, spa-inspired bathrooms and an outdoor built-in barbecue with a covered dining area. A further bonus? The property comes turn-key ready with all furnishings included in the sale, as well as a Toyota truck.

The big sell: This upper-unit condo in Yaletown’s Coral Court building has unobstructed west-facing water views from the principal living area as well as from both bedrooms.

The layout features bedrooms on opposite sides of the floor plan with two sets of closets off the master bedroom, and a large storage room off the second bedroom. Built in 1993, Coral Court has undergone a number of major upgrades in the past five years, including the rainscreening of the exterior envelope and a full re-piping program. Listing agent Mei Ling Lee reports that new security elevators are in line to be installed by the end of this year. The 23-storey building is in downtown Vancouver’s Beach District close to the seawall and the Aquabus. Pets and rentals are permitted (including short and long-term rentals) and the monthly maintenance fee is $388.70.
