Realtor's description
RARE PRIVACY MEETS WALKABILITY - ROYAL CITY TERRACE, NEW WESTMINSTER Tucked behind mature trees away from the street, this ground-level 2 bed / 1 bath townhome at Royal City Terrace delivers the quiet buyers rarely find this close to everything - shops, transit, and parks all within walking distance. 9-ft ceilings and an open main level keep the home bright and spacious. Updated throughout: remodelled bathroom, new laminate flooring, fresh paint, and new plumbing. Storage is a standout - generous linen closet plus an in-suite storage/utility room. Cozy gas fireplace for winter nights. In summer, the expansive private patio is built for morning coffee and container gardening. Ground-level entry - no stairs, 1 parking on same level right outside your door.
