One of the best kept secrets in the highly desireable Bayview Village neighbourhood…The Chelsea condominium!The Chelsea condominium (19 Barberry Place) is a fantastic mid-rise, with an excellent ‘walkability’ factor to a plethora of conveniences and perfect ‘family-friendly’ choices for schools and parks. The Chelsea was built in 2004 by the Daniels Corporation and stands 8 storeys tall, encompassing 130 units in total. The architecture of this condominium is ‘L’ shaped, with an artistic feature piece at the center point on the rooftop, with rounded balconies below it to ground level. The fusion of cement, concrete and transparent glasswork makes this condo subtle, yet ‘homey’ feeling.The interior condo units range in exposures, sizes, styles and layouts that begin with the smallest units of 1 bedrooms (480 square feet) and scale up to 1 bedroom + den and 2 bedrooms (1408 square feet). Many current upgrades and trendy in-unit features have been overseen by unit owners individually. Homebuyers and investors can anticipate seeing updated in-unit features such as open concept layouts, high ceilings, laminate & hardwood flooring, expansive windows, walk-out to private spacious balconies, modern kitchen upgrades with cabinetry & appliances, trendy bathrooms with designer touches, ensuite laundry and spacious closets.The in-building amenities collection at The Chelsea are enjoyed by its residents and consists of a fitness facility, meeting/event room, party room for entertaining, media/cinema room, parking garage with guest parking spaces, storage lockers and enter phone system. This condo is established and clearly defines (through the historical average PSF) that there is plenty of potential for a positive return on investment (excellent for first time homebuyers!). Adding even more advantages to an already amazing condominium is the presence of Maple Ridge Community Management who’s friendly staff oversee the daily operations of this building and attend to the needs of its residents.Armed with a premium location, The Chelsea (19 Barberry Place) is surrounded by the street borders of Kenaston Gardens, Barberry Place and Sheppard Avenue East.
