A rare chance to acquire a true piece of Vancouver history, The Vault was originally built in 1914 as a secure bank records facility and later transformed into an exclusive collection of just six heritage residences. This 2 bedroom + loft home (ideal 3rd bedroom or office) offers a flexible, character-rich floorplan for buyers seeking something truly unique. Featuring warm wood floors, thoughtful renovations, and a striking pot-belly style gas fireplace, the home balances historic charm with modern livability. The 511 sq ft private rooftop terrace is a standout feature rarely found in heritage properties — a private outdoor escape perfect for entertaining, gardening, or quiet evenings overlooking classic character homes. Steps to Commercial Drive.
