The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-level townhouse, built in 1990, had been completely renovated with bamboo flooring and updated bathrooms and kitchen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The 1,358-square-foot unit is bright, with pot lights throughout and a deck and balconies that look onto the landscaped property. The unit comes with two parking stalls, and the building allows rentals and pets. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The biggest feature, though, is the neighbourhood, which is within walking distance to the city\u2019s best restaurants, boutique shops and coffee shops, as well as schools and amenities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">\u201cThis is all about location, location, location,\u201d listing agent Dwayne Launt said.<\/p>\n<p>The action<a style=\"display:block\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/resizer\/v2\/MJ2PP3PH6JDHPC3PU4RNGDZSKE.JPG?auth=2241ef9e6a6f608623d9631b50ffdcb62383fe699c793de004d8a09b90f8128d&amp;width=600&amp;height=400&amp;quality=80&amp;smart=true\" aria-haspopup=\"true\" data-photo-viewer-index=\"2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Open this photo in gallery:<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"figcap-text\">The kitchen has been recently updated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Mr. Launt had no problem selling the family-friendly townhouse. He received four offers after a realtor\u2019s preview and an open house on the weekend, with about 60 groups through the unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">\u201cEveryone was within range, and one person stepped up a little higher,\u201d he said of the bids. \u201cIt was one of those perfect storms: someone came in and said, \u2018This is exactly what we want.
