This $750,000 Ontario townhouse is a first-time homebuyer's dream

Whether you're in the market for your first home, looking to downsize or are simply on a mission to escape city living, this $775,000 Ontario townhouse might just be the perfect place for you.

A beautifully upgraded and maintained gem located just over an hour's drive from Toronto in Alliston, 16 Buchanan Dr. is a comfortable and contemporary place to hang your hat — and it's on the market for a whole lot less than properties just down highway 400 in the city.

The town of Alliston offers magical small-town charm despite being conveniently connected to major arteries like highways 400 and 27, making it a perfect spot for commuters to Vaughan, Barrie or Toronto, so if you haven't already been considering saying goodbye to the city smog, you may just find yourself thinking about it now.

The kitchen.

1680 sq. ft. of bright, modern living space, 16 Buchanan Dr. teeters off the ledge of "charming" into "downright luxurious" territory, featuring refined finishes like warm hardwood floors and spacious windows throughout.

The spacious kitchen is a perfect example of the luxe living you'd be doing here, complete with a large quartz island with dining seating, modern white cabinetry, matte black hardware and stainless steel appliances.

The dining room.

A cozy dining area offers direct access to the serene backyard, posing some serious entertaining potential during the summer months.

Though if you, like me, prefer to eat your meals at the kitchen counter, it also makes for a great space to adapt into a home office space.

The living room.

The nearly 200 sq. ft. living room is a serene spot for relaxing at the end of the day or to spend a little extra family time together.

The open-concept floor plan gives the whole main floor a sense of unity and flow regardless of where you plant your feet, so even if everyone wants their own personal space, you can still do that together.

The primary bedroom.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a resort-level refuge at over 200 sq. ft. 

It features soaring ceilings, a deluge of natural light from several large windows and, perhaps most importantly, if you're as devoted to your skincare routine as I am, a spacious four-piece ensuite bathroom with ample counter space.

Another bedroom.

In total, the home boasts three bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it the perfect spot for growing and established families alike for a fraction of what a comparable property would set you back in downtown Toronto.

The property also comes with its own garage and driveway, as if its location didn't already make it perfect for commuters.

The backyard.

16 Buchanan Drive is currently listed by Ana Bastas Realty at $774,900.

If you're interested in checking out the property for yourself, open houses are happening on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., where you can enter to win a Tassimo Single-Cup Home Brewing System. Sounds like a win-win.
