For the TRUE Gastown loft lover! An incredibly unique street-level live/work corner loft at the iconic Koret Lofts. Two entrances—townhouse-style off Columbia or from inside the building—give you tons of flexibility to maximize your living or workspace. Soaring double-height ceilings, huge corner windows, exposed timber beams and original wood windows pair perfectly with modern finishes by Alda Pereira. Includes parking, plus a professionally designed courtyard with outdoor kitchen. Under $1M, this is a rare opportunity to combine home + small business space into one mortgage. Short-term rentals allowed for even more flexibility!
