When most people think of their ideal lifestyle, they usually visualize living just far enough outside the city to enjoy country comfort, but not so far out that convenience is compromised.

However, some folks think a little differently.

To them, living downtown is an attractive thought — to be able to walk to work and have shops, restaurants and other amenities just minutes from their doorstep.

Unfortunately, the thought of living downtown is just that: a fancy that passes after they think of living in an area that can be stark (think too much concrete and dirty sidewalks), devoid of nature, and where it can be a pain to find parking, even if you find a home you love.

Jeff Brown of Sutton Group-Kilkenny Real Estate says he just listed a special condo that provides an elevated base from which to live a life that can be as rich, dynamic — and as peace-filled — as you want.

“This condo is just one floor below the penthouse on the 22nd floor and is one of the best-positioned suites in the building,” he says of the 980 sq. ft., two-bedroom, two-bath unit. “Apparently, when the project (390 On The River) was being marketed in 2018, this is where the promotional photos were shot from.”

That isn’t hard to believe.

The instant you set foot in the suite’s main living area, you feel as if you’re suspended above the city, looking down on it with views stretching away from you to the east, west and north.

It’s not difficult to imagine enjoying a cup of coffee before work in the summer looking out at the magnificent Manitoba Legislative Building.

“The first time I stepped into the suite, I thought to myself, ‘Isn’t this view something else,’” Brown says. “It’s stunning. The expansive windows — which, incidentally, come with remote-controlled blinds — do a wonderful job of capturing the view and letting in all kinds of natural light.”

He adds that stepping out onto the balcony makes the million-dollar view that much better.

“Imagine getting up in the morning and looking out to the west. You have a perfect view of the Manitoba legislature with the Golden Boy on top. The views in all directions are incredible at any time of the day, but at night they become even more spectacular with amazing sunsets and the panoramic view of the city lighting up in the evening.”

Then there’s the suite itself, which doesn’t disappoint in any way, shape or form. A free-flowing, open-concept floor plan makes it easy to access each space, while spot-on space proportions ensure that each area — kitchen, dining area and living room — is distinct yet accessible.

“It’s such a functional area,” Brown notes, adding that it comes with a heated floor. “The dining area can easily seat six, while the living room can accommodate a ton of furniture — in this case a huge sectional — without a problem. At the same time, no matter what space you’re in, there’s a view.”


Looking out at the cityscape from the kitchen is a jaw-dropping experience.

A prime example is the perfectly placed living room, anchored neatly by a stylish, linear electric fireplace on its rear wall.

“What’s not to like about it? You can sit on the sofa with your favourite beverage watching the big game while enjoying the gorgeous river view,” Brown says. “If you’re entertaining, you’re just steps from both the dining area and kitchen.”

He adds that the island kitchen is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“There are a lot of amazing features in it,” Brown says of the user-friendly space. “The island has an eating nook that seats three and comes with a high-end wine fridge with separate temperature controls. You also get instant hot water, a filtered drinking water system, custom white cabinetry, a wall oven — and a high-end refrigerator concealed within the cabinetry.”

The user-friendly floor plan continues as you walk back to the front of the suite, where each space — from the two bedrooms to the main bath to the in-suite laundry — were placed perfectly.

The view from the living room is simply incredible.

“I just love the layout — the in-suite laundry was placed in a perfect spot to the left of the entry door, which is just so convenient,” he says. “Then, as you walk inside, the second bedroom and bathroom are to the left, and the primary bedroom is to the right. It’s a big, relaxing space that comes with a river view and a fabulous three-piece ensuite with tiled, walk-in shower.”

The luxurious amenities don’t end there.

“Residents will enjoy exceptional building amenities such as a guest suite, fitness room, party room, riverfront terrace, car wash and electric vehicle charging. The suite also comes with two oversized, side-by-side parking stalls in the nicest indoor parking garage I’ve ever seen. If you enjoy nature, you’re just steps from the amazing Assiniboine River Walk.”

Brown says the beautifully designed, well-located condo is the total package.

“It presents a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated suite with luxurious finishes, premium finishes and amazing views with easy access to nature in the heart of downtown. This is a perfect spot for a young professional in every way.”
