98-108 Redpath Avenue & 83-89 Lillian Street

So the Redpath Townhomes aren’t exactly condos. Instead, they are the ideal homes for those with an alternative living style in mind. And no, we aren’t talking about off the grid, herbal-medicine-type alternative, but instead what we have in mind are buyers who can’t see themselves living in high rises or detached homes.

By swapping out elevators for manicured walkways, those living at the Redpath Townhomes will have plenty of space for children and pets to play. The building even boasts a pet-friendly attitude, in case prospective buyers were wondering.

Together, 184 spacious townhouses make up the homes located at 83-89 Lillian Street & 98-108 Redpath Avenue. Built in 1996, these townhouses have a classic aesthetic thanks to their red brick façades, while pointed roofs covered in black shingles add a sense of modernity and style.

Due to the lack of much communal indoor space, amenities are limited. However, those living at 83-89 Lillian Street & 98-108 Redpath Avenue do benefit from security, barbecues, and visitor parking.
