The big sell: This one-bedroom unit is in the West End’s Gilford Court building, which has full rainscreening, a newer roof, and updated plumbing and balcony membranes. Listing agent Stephen Burke says that when Gilford Court was built in the mid 1980s, it was constructed as an exact replica of the original apartment building that had been built on the site in the early 1900s (around the same time as the Sylvia Hotel, which is kitty corner). This top-floor suite has 10-foot ceilings that are accentuated by an expansive clerestory window and a large skylight. The bedroom has a nine-by-five-foot closet and the renovated bathroom showcases an oversized walk-in shower with a rain shower head. Additional highlights include engineered honey oak floors, a breakfast bar, washer/dryer hook ups, a parking stall and storage locker. Gilford Court is 100-per-cent owner occupied and two small pets are permitted. The monthly maintenance fee is $317.52.
