Welcome to Brookside Willows in Burnaby! This comfy, well-equipped two-storey townhouse is ideal for a mature couple who want to combine exceptionally convenient suburban location near a Skytrain rapid transit station, with a quiet, restful, oasis-like setting. When you're not sightseeing or attending Olympic events, you can sit by the fireplace and relax to TV or music, or enjoy billiards, table tennis or a sauna in the nearby recreation centre.

The ground floor of 750 square feet 65 sq. meters comprises a recently renovated, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, laundry room, half-bathroom, and large L-shaped living room, with 21-inch TV, VCR/DVD player, gas fireplace, CD player, plus acoustic guitar and digital piano. The work corner has a desktop computer Windows XP with internet & printer, and a fax/answering machine. Upstairs, you have access to the main bathroom, and master bedroom with south-facing sunny side balcony and separate twin beds. By prior arrangement, a third person can be accommodated in the pullout sofa in the living room.

The setting is a tranquil village-like complex of 100 two- and three-storey townhouses spread over 7.5 gracefully landscaped, well-treed acres 3 hectares. The fenced, gated rear patio faces a walking lane and other quiet households. The front patio, with a small table and chairs nestled behind a curtain of bamboo, faces not a street, but a babbling brook, a covered wooden pedestrian bridge, and just beyond that, a duck pond next to the Visitor Parking spaces. You also have access to the villages Recreation Centre, with a games room pool table, dartboard, Foosball, shuffleboard, table tennis, sofas, and men's and women's sauna and shower.

And location! Amazingly, for such a secluded village, you are within a five-minute walk about 400 meters from a public transit hub, offering 35-minute SkyTrain and bus access to downtown Vancouver and Olympic venues, 10 minutes to historic New Westminster and the Fraser River waterfront. Within a six-minute walk are several dozen restaurants, banks, a pub, two supermarkets, medical clinics, and several shopping centres. Movie theatres and a casino are a short drive away. Yet, the village is just a ten-minute walk to parks and a semi-rural walking trail along the Brunette River green belt.

A peaceful oasis with easy access to Olympic excitement and a global city! Brookside Willows awaits you.
