Carrera Management Corporation says that the home is located in the heart of the West End on renowned Davie Street and offers “the feeling of a private garden while being steps from all your favourite amenities and beaches.”
The floor plan shows that all units are spread out through five, yes, five levels inside of the massive home.
Studios are the cheapest available units, and even those start at $2,150. Daily Hive has been informed that the studios have already been rented.
One-bedroom units start at $2,995, which is just slightly above the average rent for a one-bedroom in Vancouver ($2,831), according to the latest Rentals.ca report.
Some photos of a few of the one-bedroom suites highlight how this 122-year-old property has been modernized.

Gabriola Mansion features a rich history, some of that history being quite tragic.
The home was built in 1901 and was the private residence of BT Rogers, the founder of BC Sugar, and his family.
In some of the dark history connected to the home, in September 2016, the body of Japanese student Natsumi Kogawa was found at Gabriola Mansion.
