As of January 2023

Very spacious Margate Park three bedroom condo with two full ensuite bathrooms plus a powder room! Amazing location close to the lake, park, and transportation.

Desirable layout with Living Room/Dining Room open to the kitchen, gas fireplace, hardwood floors, separate sun room with wrap around window seating and park views, kitchen with plentiful cabinets, counter space and breakfast bar. Incredible storage - hallway lined with closets plus bedroom walk-in-closets and additional storage in the basement. This is NOT a garden unit - high first floor unit.
