5 Yaletown condos worth quarantining in
We’ve all been stuck at home for weeks and have killed countless hours scrolling Instagram, rearranging our homes, and binge-watching Netflix’s Tiger King. This quarantine is all about being comfortable and finding ways to stay sane until we can reunite with friends and family, although we’re not quite sure when that will be. Until then, we may as well admire other people’s condos and daydream about spending all of our time there.
Here are 5 Yaletown condos that are worth quarantining in:
1. 407 1066 Hamilton Street
This stunning penthouse loft at Yaletown’s ‘New Yorker’ is an outstanding, custom-renovated condo that’s perfect for lounging around in sweats and a hoodie. The exposed brick and solid wood beams give it a warm, but outdoorsy feeling which is what we all need right now since going outside is cancelled. The massive chef’s kitchen is perfect for testing out some new quarantine recipes, like sourdough bread and dalgona coffee. After a long morning of lounging you can curl up in front of the concrete-encased fireplace and have your afternoon nap before you wake up for dinner.
2. 1005 1238 Richards Street
A condo worthy of Architectural Digest, which you may as well read while options are limited. Your new home will be the envy of your friends once they’re allowed to see it, or you could show it off over a Zoom call. Every corner of this luxury condo has been meticulously designed with quarantine in mind. You can fill your calendar doing photoshoots and just admiring the custom cabinetry, bronze reveals, and caesarstone counters. Afterwards you can gaze out your massive, double-height windows and imagine yourself at the park, or hiking up the mountains from the comfort of your own bed.
3. 1101 638 Beach Crescent
You’ll have plenty of time to gaze out onto George Wainborn park and plan your walks, runs, or bike rides around the seawall from your balcony at the fabulous Icon building. Every room in this exquisitely designed home features park and water views which will be as good as it gets until quarantine time is over. If you’re brave enough, you can journey into the sun for a responsible, socially distant walk, and support one of the countless small businesses that have brought so much life to the area over the years.
4. 2403 1001 Homer Street
This sub-penthouse condo at Yaletown’s ‘The Bentley’ features a spacious dining space for you and all your virtual friends, stunning city views, and a top-of-the-line fridge waiting to be filled with quarantine snacks that you can promptly eat in two days instead of the two weeks that you had planned. The spacious floor plan allows for multiple rearranges to help pass the time when you run out of puzzles and after you’ve finished all of Netflix. What’s next? Disney+?
5. 2201 1455 Howe Street
European hardwood floors and Italian marble highlight this stunning view-home on Yaletown’s Howe Street. Spend your mornings admiring the custom millwork in the kitchen, afternoons gazing through wall-to-wall windows out over the city and onto the north shore, and evenings back in the kitchen since we still can’t go anywhere else. You won’t want quarantine to end once you move in to your beautiful new condo.
