The big sell: According to listing agent Leslee Cooper, three offers were received for this one-bedroom condo in Kitsilano that achieved a sale figure north of the asking price in four days.

The suite forms part of Dorset House, a three-storey building that was constructed in the 1950s with a distinctive white exterior and yellow awnings.
