LISTING AGENT Bill Thom, Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.
The Action: Set back within the residential Willowdale community abutting the shops, restaurants and subway line operating along Yonge Street, this traditional townhouse had between one and two dozen showings.
What They Got: In a 12-year-old complex, this brick-and-stone townhouse has a classic design and décor with hardwood floors and cornice mouldings outlining the nine-foot ceilings above a fireside living room and dining area, while ceramic finishes grace an eat-in kitchen with a walkout to a deck.
An oak staircase connects to three carpeted bedrooms upstairs, including a master suite with a walk-in closet and five-piece ensuite, which is the largest of three bathrooms, as well as a lower-level family room with a second gas fireplace and access to the patio, garage and basement.
Monthly condo fees are $203.
The Agent's Take: "The key is the location near Yonge and Sheppard, and it's on a quiet street," agent Bill Thom said. "It's a very hot complex close to the subway and there are not too many of these, so they tend to be sold in two or three weeks."
This townhouse was also more spacious and airy than expected. "Most townhouses have three levels, this one has four," Mr. Thom said. "[Plus] the unit is oriented north-south, so the kitchen is at the back and is very bright all year round."
