43 – 37 Brookside Terrace

For buyers ready to trade the yard work for weekends free, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom end-unit bungalow townhome in Smithville offers true one-floor living. Tucked into its own quiet pocket of Smithville, this home is situated just a stone’s throw away from a walking trail along Twenty Mile Creek. It is built for a slower pace and a lock-and-leave lifestyle, with a $130 monthly common element fee covering ground maintenance, lawn sprinkler system in the front and rear yard (including the water bill for the sprinklers), and snow removal, so extended time away is never a concern. Guest parking is readily available and located just across the street from the unit. Inside, the main floor is built to be lived in. A bright den/second bedroom sits off the foyer for hobbies, office space or guests, and the main-floor laundry room means never carrying a basket up or down stairs. The kitchen anchors the open-concept living space with a large island, granite counters, abundant cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, opening directly into the dining area and a living room with a walkout to a private deck, ideal for morning coffee or evening quiet. The primary bedroom is a retreat, with a walk-in closet, a second closet and a 4-piece ensuite. A second bedroom, currently set up as a home office at the front of the home, keeps guests or family comfortable on the same level, with a 3-piece main bathroom close by. The basement is full height and unfinished, presenting abundant storage space or flexibility to add living space with the layout you want. An egress window downstairs makes adding a bedroom for guests or extended family very easy. This is what retirement should look like: less upkeep, more time, and a home that is beautifully finished so you don’t have to do anything other than move in.
