Most people think you have to cross the million-dollar line to get a real “next chapter” home in North Vancouver… but this one is the exception.

Welcome to Kindred in Moodyville — a modern, move-in-ready condo that feels calm, functional, and genuinely livable. The kind of place where your mornings start with North Shore mountain views, your feet hit radiant in-floor heat (included in the maintenance fees), and you actually use the balcony instead of calling it “outdoor storage.”

📍 306–625 E 3rd Street, North Vancouver
🏢 Kindred
💰 $969,000
📐 1,038 sq ft
🛏️ 2 Bedrooms
🛁 2 Full Bathrooms
💻 Den / Home Office
🚗 Parking + Storage

This layout is dialed. The kitchen is a true centerpiece with a large island and tons of prep space—perfect for hosting, family dinners, or just enjoying a home that doesn’t feel like a compromise. The primary suite fits a king-size bed and the ensuite is a standout: double sinks, separate soaker tub, and a full glass shower. Add the den for work-from-home life (or future nursery / flex space), and you’ve got a home that grows with you.

Moodyville is one of the best-kept secrets in North Van—steps to parks and the Spirit Trail, and minutes to everything in Lower Lonsdale: the Shipyards District, breweries, restaurants, cafés, the waterfront, and the Seabus for an easy downtown commute.

You’ve seen the blurry listings, the tired renovations, the “character” that really means “money pit.” Stop looking. This is the top-floor, corner-suite glow-up you thought only existed in new builds—but with the unbeatable location of Grandview-Woodlands, literally steps from Commercial Drive and Trout Lake.

Let’s talk specs, because this isn’t just pretty, it’s smart:

Location: The absolute sweet spot. Enjoy farmer’s markets, espresso, and the vibrant culture of Commercial Drive, with the tranquility of Trout Lake, all just moments from your door.

Unit Type: RARE Top Floor, Corner Unit. More light, more privacy, more views.

Size: A spacious 920 Sq. Ft. – room to breathe, live, and thrive.

Renovation: Not a facelift, a full 2024 TRANSFORMATION. We’re talking a brand-new kitchen with custom soft-close cabinetry, sleek quartz counters, a butcher-block accent, matte-black fixtures, and fresh, grateful-for-your-socks new floors. Both bedrooms are generous.

Financial Win: Your Gas Fireplace? INCLUDED. Yes, really. Run it guilt-free. (Strata Fee: $620.16/month, which includes gas, hot water, gardening, management, garbage).

Building Peace of Mind: The heavy lifting is DONE. This building is already RAINSCREENED, REPIPED, AND REROOFED. That’s East Van confidence.

Parking: 1 Secured Underground Spot.

Key Features: Massive skylight for epic natural light, side-by-side laundry, crown moulding, and two large entry closets with built-in organizers.

This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a statement. It’s the move you’ve been planning, the roots you’re ready to lay in the best part of the city.

DON’T MISS YOUR SHOT: This will not last. Come experience the light, the finish, and the unmatched location.

Sorry guys. Motorcycle adventures and real estate. That’s the majority of what you’ll see here. Of course my beautiful wife and dog too. Maybe some mountain biking, snow sports, culinary exploits and the odd home reno project.
