I decided to stay close to home this month for the open house search. When my husband, Mark, and I first looked at Waterstone Pier, it had that spark for us. We love our unit, but often think about the beauty of the water side. We get stunning sunsets from our southwest facing home, but the sunrises from the east side of the building are simply marvellous. Mount Baker can take your breath away and when I walked into unit 102 of our 14200 building all I could think was how fabulous the mornings would be. The two bedrooms, the living room, kitchen and patio all have a front and centre view. Even cooler, you can watch the ships that cruise past each day carrying all sorts of freight, most commonly the gigantic beasts that bring the automobiles to the Fraser Wharves.
This unit has direct access to the back green area – like it’s very own yard. Perfect for a young family or dog lovers. In and out for walks along the water in no time. If you love the movies, hockey, trampolines, pubs, Subway, spaghetti, and farm markets – then this could be your dream home. The unit is within a few steps of the Riverport Recreation Complex and only a 3-minute drive to one of the best farm markets in the lower mainland; Richmond Country Farms. Great access to the highway, only 25-minutes to downtown Vancouver and direct routes to Ladner, Surrey, New Westminster, and Burnaby; it’s a central place to call home.
