What appears to be a row of townhouses in the established Long Branch community is actually a quiet, eight-year-old condominium complex with one- and two-storey suites.

This 975-square-foot penthouse on the third floor of the brick and stone building has two bedrooms - a master suite with a vaulted, 12-foot ceiling and a secondary bedroom with a skylight.

"It's a two-storey unit, so it felt more like a house," agent Julie Kinnear says. "It didn't feel like a condo [tower]."

Laundry facilities and a full bathroom are located between the carpeted bedrooms on the upper level.

Downstairs, the kitchen has ceramic flooring and backsplashes, maple cupboards and pantry, was well as a breakfast bar that faces an open-concept living and dining room. The latter space features a nine-foot ceiling, hardwood flooring and a trio of large windows.

The monthly fee is $285, which covers such things as snow removal and yard work.

The unit comes with a locker and an outdoor parking spot.

Waterfront parks and trails, shops, restaurants and public transit are nearby.
