Nova Scotia or Lakeview: Your choice for condominium lifestyle

Open Houses set for next two Saturdays on ranch local condos
By Mark Schadenberg
I know of two MLS-listed condominiums you should consider, if you’re looking to downsize this autumn and at the same time enjoy the condominium lifestyle.
The opportunity to purchase a bungalow/ranch condo with a 2-car garage is usually the minimum requirement for an empty-nester. I’ve never understood why so many townhouse condo complexes locally -- geared to the over-60 demographic -- were built with just a 1-car garage, but that’s a story for another day.
I know of two condominiums currently MLS listed by Royal LePage Triland, which also offer immediate possession.
OPEN HOUSE: Nov 2, 2-4. Host: Mark Schadenberg
450 Lakeview #16.
Woodstock
Asking Price: $267,900
MLS: 71463

With main-floor laundry inside the spacious 5pc ensuite, this condo built by Rembrandt on the north side of Pittock Lake also offers hardwood flooring, two gas fireplaces, and 5 appliances. The décor is bright – no dark colours – and the kitchen cabinetry is a honey oak look.
One unique feature is there is a covered back porch on main floor and under it (in basement) is a cold storage room. There is also an attractive lower recroom with a corner fireplace – great for inviting the neighbours over for bridge.
Condo fee is $240 per month, but once you factor in the amount of green space there, it truly adds to the overall value.

A condominium is a choice for lifestyle and location.
A one-floor plan townhouse condominium (with a basement too) featuring a 2-car garage certainly provides for anyone seeking convenience and lifestyle, but the location of your relocation is also paramount.
This end unit with 3 (2+1) bedrooms in Cabot Lane (Off Finkle Street just south of Parkinson) also completes the neighbourhood aspect as its found near Southside Park (pool, lawn bowling, seniors centre, etc), the community complex arenas, hospital (brand new in November of 2011), Cedar Creek golf course, plus box mall shopping and restaurants. The city development office refers to it as the 'regional commercial node', but with Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Staples and a couple dozen more stores there is lots of reasons to shop on Norwich Avenue.
From the entrance, what is apparent quickly is the modern move-in decor including hardwood floors.
As it’s an end unit, there is a window in the dining room, which may seem like a small point but otherwise the only window in the living-dining room would be at the front.
You will also enjoy the eat-in kitchen with its peninsula countertop and spacious dinette. Garden doors out to a private back deck.
The spacious master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in closet is also a selling point as is the main-floor laundry.
The expansive lower family room with a corner gas fireplace is great for holidays and family visits, as it the third bedroom. The unit also has ample storage for holiday visits as you need a place to store the photo albums when your granddaughter visits with her boyfriend.
Cabot Lane was built by Z-Group, which is based in London and has built several condo projects there.
