If you're leaving a condo and want outdoor space of your own, or downsizing without giving up full-size rooms, this LaSalle townhouse gives you both. It sits off North Shore Boulevard, a short drive from LaSalle Park and the Burlington waterfront, with 2 owned parking spaces. The home has been extensively updated, from professionally removed popcorn ceilings and new crown moulding to a renovated kitchen with stone counters, a marble mosaic backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Hardwood carries through the dining and living rooms, where a walkout opens to a private, fully fenced patio with new concrete. It's a good spot for dinner outside on a summer evening, and BBQs are permitted. Upstairs, the layout was reworked from three bedrooms to two. The primary suite took over the third bedroom's space and now has a walk-in closet, a custom accent wall, and a renovated 3-piece ensuite. The second bedroom is the same size as the primary and has its own 3-piece bath down the hall, so a guest or grown child has a bathroom of their own. Downstairs, an open recreation room with newly insulated walls gives you room for a home office or a second lounge, and a separate laundry and utility room is on the same level. The furnace, central air, and owned tankless water heater were all installed in 2022, and the dishwasher is new, so the big mechanical items are already done. The Burlington GO and the QEW are a short drive away for commuters, with Joseph Brant Hospital and Mapleview Shopping Centre close by and the Francis Road Bikeway within walking distance.
