A Bright Kitsilano Condo With a Solarium You’ll Actually Use

Some condos feel fine on paper, then you walk in and realize the layout just doesn’t live the way you hoped. This one is different.
203 at 2140 W 12th Street is a bright, genuinely spacious 1 bedroom plus a large solarium in Kitsilano, and it hits the sweet spot for buyers who want day to day comfort, not just a pretty listing.
It’s offered at $649,900 and comes in at 674 sq ft, with 1 parking stall and 1 storage locker, plus in suite washer and dryer.
The feature buyers keep asking for: the large solarium
Let’s talk about the solarium, because it changes how you use the home.
This isn’t an awkward glass nook that collects laundry. It’s the kind of flex space that can become a true home office, a reading lounge, a Peloton zone, or even a guest setup without sacrificing your living room. If you’ve been trying to make a one bedroom work for real life, this is the upgrade that makes it feel possible.
Open concept flow, plus a cozy gas fireplace
The layout flows nicely through the living and dining area, and the gas fireplace gives the space that cozy, lived in feel you notice right away. It’s one of those features that makes a home feel warm and inviting, especially in Vancouver’s rainy season.
Updated where it counts: move in ready vibes
You also get newer appliances and updated flooring, which is a big deal if you want something that feels fresh without immediately budgeting for renovations. It’s the kind of “easy yes” factor that makes your first few months of ownership smoother.
The monthly numbers, clearly
Here’s what you need to know before you commit, because clarity always beats guesswork:
Strata fee: $302
2025 property taxes: $2,089
Year built: 1995
And the strata package includes practical building services that support day to day living: caretaker, hot water, management, snow removal, plus water and trash.
Why Kitsilano lifestyle adds real value
In Vancouver, Kitsilano is one of those neighbourhoods where lifestyle is a big part of the value. Walkability matters. Coffee spots matter. Being able to pop out for dinner, groceries, or a quick errand without planning your whole day matters.
That ease is hard to quantify, but you feel it immediately once you live here.
Who this home is perfect for
This is a strong fit if you’re:
A first-time buyer who wants a proper layout with a real flex space
Someone upgrading from a smaller one bedroom and craving an office zone
A buyer who wants Kits lifestyle without paying a premium for wasted square footage
Anyone who values parking, storage, and in suite laundry as non-negotiables
Final thoughts
This is the kind of condo that makes sense both emotionally and logically. It’s comfortable, functional, and set up for the way people actually live right now.
