Gastown loft under $1.6 million blends heritage with modern features (PHOTOS)

Vancouver consistently ranks as one of the world’s best cities, renowned for its majestic skyline, convenient access to the great outdoors, and established neighbourhoods. In Gastown, there’s a property currently on the market that combines the city’s most desirable elements.

The two-storey heritage loft, selling for just under $1.6 million, is located in the Bowman Lofts building at 303-528 Beatty Street. Listed by Shawn Brown at the West Haven Group, the property is rare in that it has been completely redesigned and transformed into a luxurious yet practical space.

With a prime location steps from retail, dining establishments, and major transit routes, the loft places its prospective residents in the centre of it all.

The property has two bathrooms, one bedroom, a living room, dining room, sitting area, kitchen, foyer, and more within 1,280 sq ft of space.

It was built in 2010, and in recent months, the design team at PlaidFox Studio was tasked with redesigning the loft and carefully blending heritage elements with contemporary fixtures.
