LISTING AGENT Christopher Bibby, Sutton Group-Associates Realty Inc.

The action: Just a few steps away from Old Mill station and Bloor West Village, this condominium townhouse is a rare alternative in a well-heeled neighbourhood of freehold estates. So it took some time to secure an offer once two dozen private showings were carried out.

What they got: In 1997, this roughly 1,600-square-foot townhouse was designed with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple entertaining areas, plus a central vacuum system and interior access to a double garage and rear backyard.

A flight of stairs from the foyer leads up to a second-floor kitchen with an island and a fireside living and dining area with sliding doors to a balcony with a gas hookup and brand new hardwood floors.

The sellers added broadloom in the third-floor master suite, which features a second gas fireplace, a walk-in closet, laundry facilities and heated floors in the five-piece bathroom, as well as two bedrooms above, including one with a Juliette balcony.

The complex is self-managed with monthly fees of $250.

The agent's take: "While you [are] in walking distance to a major street and transit, you also [have] the tranquillity of living in a small residential neighbourhood," says agent Christopher Bibby.

"There are a lot high-end properties, but this had so much square footage in here for a townhouse condominium."

For instance, the volume of space both indoors and out was unexpected. "There are three bedrooms, three bathrooms and you actually have a backyard, which was very unique for a townhouse condominium. Usually, you get a rooftop terrace or just a balcony," Mr. Bibby adds.

"One of the other very unique features was it had a tandem parking space, so it really felt like a freehold, not a townhouse condominium."
