Property Description

The living and dining rooms featured newer hardwood flooring. The same flooring continued through the second-floor landing, creating a consistent look between the main living areas and upper level.
Meanwhile, newer broadloom added comfort to the bedrooms. These flooring improvements helped update the home without changing its practical townhouse layout.
Eat-In Kitchen with Backyard Walkout
The bright eat-in kitchen provided space for casual dining. Stainless steel appliances included the refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave range hood.
More importantly, the kitchen provided direct access to the backyard. The walkout led to a deck and fully fenced yard, making it easy to move between the indoor and outdoor living areas.
Three Bedrooms and Additional Basement Space
Upstairs, the home offered three bedrooms. The newer carpeting provided a softer finish in these private areas of the home.
The basement was partly finished and was being used as a bedroom when the property was marketed. However, buyers should never assume that a room being used as a bedroom meets current legal requirements for a bedroom.
That distinction is particularly important when comparing properties based on bedroom count. The official listing identified 70 Blue Spruce Street as a three-bedroom home.
A Townhouse Option for First-Time Buyers
When we originally marketed 70 Blue Spruce Street, we identified first-time buyers as one group that could find the property appealing. Townhouses can provide an alternative for buyers who want more space than many condos offer but aren’t ready for the price or maintenance of a larger detached property.
However, the purchase price is only one part of affordability. First-time buyers also need to budget for land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, inspections and other closing expenses.
Our Ontario First-Time Home Buyer Checklist provides a step-by-step look at financing, down payments, closing costs and the decisions buyers should make before beginning their home search.
Could a Townhouse Work for a Downsizer?
A townhouse can also be an option for homeowners who want less property to maintain without moving directly into an apartment-style condo. However, stairs, outdoor maintenance and the number of finished levels still need to fit the homeowner’s long-term plans.
Our Downsizing in Ontario guide looks at the financial and practical questions homeowners should consider before deciding what type of smaller home makes sense.

What 70 Blue Spruce Street Shows Buyers
70 Blue Spruce Street is a useful example of how a townhouse can serve buyers at different stages of homeownership. Three bedrooms provided practical living space, while the partly finished basement offered additional flexibility.
The fenced backyard and deck also provided something buyers don’t always get with other entry-level property types. Ultimately, the right choice depends on budget, maintenance expectations, location and how long the property is likely to meet the buyer’s needs.
