Open house on Sunday January 18 from 12:30 to 2 PM. Perfect combination of style and comfort in this 2 story townhome with finished basement. This one is a little different the others in this complex as over $20,000 being spent on extending from entrance adding covered front steps, extra closet, storage and inside access to the garage. 2 decks and 2 fireplaces makes this a very comfortable home, in excellent location with easy access to Jones park. Take a look and you should be pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a condo, this could be the one. Hope to see you there.

Congratulations to Tristan for the purchase of his first home. It's been a journey, 7 rejected offers before finally getting an excepted offer. With the assistance from Neighborhood Finance, Tristan was able to stack a few grants that made even a better deal. A big thanks to Tristan for allowing me to assist in this process.
