Welcome to a refined, low-maintenance lifestyle in Burlington's coveted LaSalle community. Spanning approx. 1,600 sq ft of total living space, this exceptionally broad 2-storey townhouse is an elegant sanctuary perfectly tailored for condo upsizers desiring a private garden oasis, or downsizers refusing to compromise on spacious principal rooms and basement flexibility. Over $65,000 in thoughtful, premium recent upgrades brings immense peace of mind and modern comfort to this turnkey residence. An inviting foyer adorned with sleek, large-format slate-look tile introduces a fresh, neutral palette with professionally-removed popcorn ceilings and stylish crown mouldings. At the heart of the main level sits a masterfully-renovated kitchen, dressed in premium stone countertops, a timeless marble mosaic backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. Rich hardwood flooring flows effortlessly through the spacious dining room and into an expansive living room, which walks out to a private, fully fenced courtyard patio featuring new concrete slab work-an idyllic retreat for outdoor living. The upper level boasts a magnificent primary suite transformation; originally a 3-bedroom layout, it was expertly reconfigured to create a massive peaceful retreat, complete with a custom accent wall, a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious, modern 3-piece ensuite bath. Offering valuable added depth, the open-concept lower-level recreation room serves as the ideal secondary lounge or executive office, benefiting from newly-insulated walls for maximum energy efficiency.***Extensively-updated mechanicals include a new furnace, AC, owned tankless water heater, and a new dishwasher. Complete with 2 owned parking spaces, this commuter-friendly location sits just minutes from the Burlington GO Station and the QEW, while remaining mere steps to the Francis Trail system, Mapleview Mall, lush parks, and Burlington's beautiful beachfront.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $500/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Burlington Lifestyle
Burlington offers a balance of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. Growing families appreciate the newer schools and community feel. The GO Train provides reasonable Toronto access. Home values have appreciated steadily as families seek alternatives to Toronto's density and pricing.
About LaSalle
I know LaSalle well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Burlington properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,500 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
