The buyers acted quickly so they wouldn’t miss out on this 51x139- foot property in Sunset Point. It offers Georgian Bay views through large windows — treasured “waterfront views without the maintenance of owning actual waterfront,” says listing agent Wispy Boivin.

The property appealed to local families who want to be downtown but on the bay, as well as weekenders who have long loved the neighbourhood. The latter, she says, keep watch until something is listed for sale. “Sunset Point ( a year- round community) is a lovely park setting on the water walking distance to downtown.”

The over 30- acre Sunset Point Park has an Inukshuk on a point overlooking the water. Volleyball courts, bike and walking paths, windsurfing and swimming are other activities to be enjoyed across the street.

Eighty-three St. Lawrence is a beautifully landscaped property with a hot tub on a deck that’s partially fenced for privacy. Nearby amenities include a hospital, a library, public transit, schools and shopping. It is also close to a park, across the street from waterfront green space and beaches, and about 10 minutes from ski hills.

The t hree- bedroom, two- bathroom home offers 2,614 square feet of living space. Features include a 20- foot cathedral ceiling in the living room, a walkout to a water- facing deck from the dining room, a loft and a spacious master bedroom with water views. There is also a main- floor laundry. Boivin says a den, which has a full bathroom beside it, could be used as a main-floor master bedroom.

Exterior renovations include a new roof, updated deck and repainted siding.

The detached two- storey, two- car garage has the potential for a second- floor suite.

It was listed on the market on Feb. 10 and sold conditionally on Feb. 17. It firmed up on Feb. 27.
