RIVER WATCH - Waterfront Living at Its Best
A
s soon as Sara Aktary and her fiancé Frenchy heard about River Watch Ladner’s premier waterfront condo project – they knew they’d found their dream home. “It’s like living on the Mississippi river,” says Frenchy. “Every night, we have front row seats to the best sunsets. Our new friends are the wildlife that is right out our deck. We watch as eagles soar and salmon as they jump out of the water. It’s absolutely spectacular.” Aktary adds: “We feel like we are living in a deluxe country resort and yet close to the city… It’s countryside living in the suburbs.” This past June, the couple moved into their two bedrooms and two bathrooms home and they can’t stop gushing about it. “In the summer, we don’t even have the television on. We spend our time on the deck watching the boats go by,” both say.
“We have a water view from every room of our condo.” Frenchy went on to say: “It’s a great community and we’ve made many new friends. We looked around and I can tell you that River Watch is the most affordable waterfront living in all the Lower Mainland.” Starting at $525,500 (includes the GST), River Watch sales manager Frank Becir agrees. “Where else can you purchase a beautiful waterfront home in a tranquil setting starting this low?” he says, adding they often dine at their favourite local eatery, the River House Restaurant & Pub, which is steps away from their home. Nestled on the banks of the Fraser River in Ladner and surrounded by parks and farmland to the south and east, River Watch Residences offer the
best of countryside living only 10 minutes to Richmond, and 20 minutes into Vancouver. Each morning, Sara and Frenchy wake up to sweeping views of the North Shore Mountains, Mt. Baker and the Fraser River. Fro sports buff, lace up your hiking shoes and head to the Millennium Trail, which offers kilometers of walking/cycling trails that can take you to the scenic Deas Island Regional Park or Burns Bog. River Watch is a four-storey Victorianstyle building with distinctive red roof, white hardi-board siding and wrap around balconies as big as 796 square feet. This limited collection of 13 contemporary one and two bedroom homes – with only four, two bedroom suites (Including one penthouse) still available, range from 1049 square feet to more than 1332 square feet for the penthouse suite. They feature
nine-foot ceilings, electric fireplace and warm laminate wood flooring throughout the living area.
