Realtor's description

PRICE TO SELL! Asking price is much lower than assessment value. This very well maintained 1786sf large townhome in Brighouse South features 4 bedroom & 2.5 bath. It has a rare feature of windows on both south and north that allows air flow entirely through the house. Sun-drenched south makes the whole house so bright & very private fenced yard on north gives you very quiet enjoyment that keeps you away from annoying traffic noise from Blundell Rd. The separate bedroom on lower level is so private and quiet that is super for senior parents or in-laws. Double car garage allows you a plenty of space for storage. Location is so central that allows you easy access to shopping Centres and public transit and all level of schools.
