A street front gated entry patio is perfect to enjoy coffee in the morning, meet with customers and friends outdoors along with enjoying that glass of wine at night. Being zoned commercial, you are also allowed to install signage outside for that business you have been dreaming about. The layout is not only unique, but functional for those many aspects of your life that go beyond the mundane that exists in every other condo in the city! This commercially zoned condo is perfect for both living the best life in the heart of Hillcrest, while also being able to operate (if desired) a business with easy access for your customers.

Given its zoning, it is only one of two similar commercial units in the building that rarely come on the market.
