65 Baldoon Road, Unit 1

Three bedrooms, one full bathroom, an updated kitchen, and a living room, all on the ground floor. The patio means you can walk out your door and sit in the fresh air, with no balcony railing and no stairs. In Chatham, apartment condos with three bedrooms don’t come up often. The current owner has lived here for 40 years. People don’t stay that long unless they’re happy where they are. The building is very quiet and well kept. It has controlled entry, so you know who is coming in.

The unit is spotless and has been well cared for. The kitchen and bathroom are updated, and the whole place is tastefully decorated. The appliances are included. The oven is brand new and has never been used. The bathtub has a cut-out in the side. You can step in without lifting your leg over a high tub wall. If getting in and out of a tub has started to be difficult, this makes it easier and safer. The unit is on the ground floor and close to the laundry room.

No stairs to get home, and a short walk with your laundry basket. The condo fee is $510 a month. It covers property management, exterior and common area upkeep, and utilities. You know what your bill will be each month, which makes it easy to plan your budget. If you are downsizing and want something simple, quiet, and easy to afford, this is worth a look.
