The townhome and row house trend is gaining momentum in the city, and many are looking to the compact living spaces as an alternative to condos and the ballooning fees. Herewith, two Midtown options currently on the market.

Townhouse in Yorkville (lead photo)
The three-storey row house at 44 Belmont St. may be more than 100 years old, but you wouldn’t know it from the inside. The interior has been completely renovated for a more modern feel, with built-in seating and cabinetry that maximizes floor space on the 12-foot by 108-foot lot. The slim build includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a third floor deck overlooking Ramsden Park. The staircase has glass railings that help to open the space up. The property’s backyard patio is surprisingly spacious in length, and the detached one-car garage behind it faces onto a laneway. This condo alternative is on offer for 1.899 million with Royal LePage J & D Division, Brokerage.
