- RARE REAL ESTATE
At 725 square feet, this is one of the largest one-bedroom units you'll find in Unionville and it's packed with rare condo features. The kitchen is its own separate room with high end finishes and a full pantry, not carved into the living space like most units. A corner unit with southeast exposure keeps the living area bright most of the day, and the primary bedroom has a real door and actually fits a bed frame and dresser. Not one, but two usable balconies; one for entertaining, one for quiet mornings. Being on the second floor means you can skip the elevator. Walk down the stairs, straight to your parking spot or to the many shops and restaurants in Downtown Markham and Uptown Market. Plus, easy access to Hwy 404, Hwy 407, Viva, and more. Perfect for downsizers who don't want to compromise on size, or first time home buyers wanting more than a shoebox. This one checks every box worth checking.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $713/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Market Position
At 23 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. The $602/month fees should cover building insurance, common elements, and reserve contributions.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
