Townhouses in the lower mainland may seem a dime a dozen but there are elements, such as quality, modernization and square footage, which can set some apart. This 1,800-square-foot townhouse in Ladner's Holly neighbourhood has all of these things, says agent Aileen Noguer
"This property is unique due to the square footage for a property of its kind," she says.
Add to this "the fact that it is all on one level and, additionally, it has two large, sunny decks," she says.
The two-bedroom townhouse has an attached garage and was updated by the previous owners with fresh paint, renovated kitchen and bathrooms and new light fixtures.
"These updates encouraged buyers to put their best foot forward and contributed to a full price sale and multiple offers," says Ms. Noguer.
"Similar properties lacked the updating of this unit and were also priced higher," she says.
In addition, Ms. Noguer says that this development complex has an excellent reputation and is known for its quality condition. A $207 monthly maintenance fee helps to ensure this, she says. The fee covers gardening and management for the complex.
