I just finished uploading details of this home on the website, and I am really
excited to tell you all about it! It is located forty-five minutes from the city and is
far from any neighbours. The rural area contains mostly farms and family
housing and features lots of trees, rivers, and lakes. It actually has sunnier
weather than the city!
The home itself is a three-storey house with four and a half bathrooms. The
spacious living room has a large balcony overlooking a small lake. The five
bedrooms are located on the main and upper floors and each have large
windows with beautiful views. The kitchen has brand new appliances and a
beautiful sink.
387-3755 Johnson Street
This home is in an exciting and lively area of the city so you will never be
bored living here! It is located close to public transportation, including subways
and buses and is in the middle of the entertainment centre of the city. The
building features great facilities, including a games room, bowling alley, and
gym with a large shared balcony for summer barbecuing.
This is a great home for buyers who care more about the inside than the
outside. Located in the industrial area of the city, nearby factories make lots of
noise during the day, but at night, there is nobody around. Imagine sitting on
your balcony at night without any noise from neighbours or cars!
The home is located on top of a paper factory and can be entered using the
stairs. Unfortunately, there is no elevator, so please keep this in mind. The
apartment contains four bedrooms and a nice kitchen with great appliances.
The owner recently added a new washer and dryer to the laundry room, too!
The apartment also has two bathrooms and a large dining room for
entertaining guests. This is a great place for the right buyer!
