DAYS ON THE MARKET One

LISTING AGENT Patrice Gale, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd.

The Action: After testing out the market for a short period, this freehold townhouse had better reception once its price was dropped to $678,000. A turnout of about 60 visitors, from bachelors to young families, resulted in two offers.
 
What They Got: More than 1,250 square feet of living space is contained within a two-storey frame built about 17 years ago on a 20-by-91-foot lot.

The layout is fairly contemporary with an entertaining area by the fireplace, an open dining area and a rear kitchen with access to the private backyard and garage.

A central staircase connects to a lower-level recreation room and an upper landing with three bedrooms. The master bedroom has private access to one of three bathrooms.

The Agent’s Take: “There were other similar properties [available], but they were a little more expensive and a little bit bigger, so this offered extra value,” Ms. Gale notes. “The other advantage was it’s on a really quiet street, literally steps to a highly rated school.”
