LISTING AGENTS
Douglas and Trevor Freeman, Freeman Real Estate Ltd.
The Action: Like many areas of the GTA, Thornhill Woods was starved of listings early this February, so this two-storey, brick townhouse received a pre-emptive bid.
What They Got: Occupying the entire width of a 22-by-110-foot lot is this roughly decade-old townhouse with hardwood floors and pot lights in the open living and dining areas, as well as tiling across a fireside family room and eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a walkout to a deck.
A winding staircase connects to three upper-level bedrooms – including a master with a walk-in closet and largest of three bathrooms –and the lower-level recreation room and double garage, both with access to a patio and partially fenced yard.
The Agent's Take: "Being attached on either side, it's actually larger than some of the semi-detached properties there, and also having a two-car garage is a big draw for people," agent Trevor Freeman says. "The property showed well and the floor plan made good use of space."
But what also brought many buyers to this 2,100-square-foot home was its address. "The neighbourhood is a highly sought-after location, the schools are good and the community is good," Mr. Freeman adds.
