Victoria Hill is one of New Westminsters lone master planned communities. Since the first building went up at 14 E Royal in 2006, we have seen the old Woodlands site evolve and Onni’s concept take form.
From the onset it has been Onni’s goal to “reinforce the existing natural splendour” throughout Victoria Hill. In the early stages this was a little difficult to imagine if not looking over the models. The public greenspace within Victoria Hill is intended to maximize the residents enjoyment of the immediate surroundings. Today many of Victoria Hill’s pathways have taken shape and we are seeing residents enjoying the space for just that. Some of the surroundings new residents will enjoy most are:
- Glenbrooke Ravine Parkland – 15 acres of ravine parkland just to the North and accessible through improved pathways.
- Queens Park – New Westminsters “flagship” park space is easily accessible to the West via Onni’s Mcbride Overpass investment.
- Sapperton Landing – A 1km waterfront walk with bridges, benches, and a dock. Located beyond the Grand Lawn to the east.
The unit offered for sale is located in 11 East Royal. One of the first two concrete high-rises built in 2007 it is easily accessible as you enter Victoria Hills south entrance. As an ’04 floor plan this unit enjoys likely the best exposure in the building facing North, North East, towards the Fraser River. With this location you will be free from any traffic noise, looking out into the grounds and towards the Grand Lawn, as opposed to Royal Ave or McBride Blvd.
When you walk in to the unit your eye is immediately drawn out the large floor to ceiling windows that span the width of the unit. This open living space is very comfortable and makes great use of all available square footage. You have a huge deck with two sliding doors that centres the unit and is enjoyed as an extension of the living space. The two bedrooms at opposite sides of the living space sets up very well for a small family or any family/friends that may stay for a period of time. It really is a great layout.
Your master suite has an elegant 5 piece ensuite bathroom, with his and her sinks and stand alone shower, walk in closet too of course. No trouble fitting a king size bed, side tables, and an armoire in this room. The size and natural light is really nice.
For anyone who’s lived in a condo before you will know the importance of storage space. The units design definitely provides for an ample amount. The panty/storage/laundry room just off the kitchen is quite large, it’s home to brand new front loader washer and dryer, and some nice built-in shelving.
This is a very nice home, in a quality building, and a great neighbourhood. Take some time to review the listing details and pictures here.
