If you're not up for climbing stairs, not interested in elevators, and you've officially outgrown basement living, this is your upgrade. Welcome to main-level living done right in Cornell Village. This bright, beautifully renovated 1,045 sq.ft. flat offers something rare in the rental market: real space, natural light, private entry, and easy one-level living.Step inside through your own front entry hall - complete with an actual closet - and into a suite that feels more like a home than an apartment. Soaring 9' smooth ceilings with pot lights, wide-plank flooring, elegant 6" baseboards give the space a polished, comfortable feel. The crisp white kitchen is stylish and functional, featuring quartz counters, open shelving, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances including fridge, stove, and dishwasher. The open-concept living and dining area is bright and spacious, with plenty of room to relax, entertain, or work from home without sacrificing your dining table to a laptop. The large primary bedroom is tucked behind frosted glass French doors and filled with natural light from two oversized picture windows. A second bedroom offers incredible flexibility as a guest room, office, den, studio, or quiet retreat. Its large window features a blind that can be left open for continuity with the main living space or closed when privacy is preferred. The 3-piece bathroom includes a glass shower and quartz vanity, adding a clean, modern finish. A back door leads to a covered porch and the included 1-car parking spot, making everyday comings and goings easy. Location-wise, it's hard to beat: just steps to Cornell Community Centre with library, pool, and fitness facilities, Markham Stouffville Hospital, Cornell Bus Terminal, and everyday essentials. You're also only a 7-minute drive to Highway 407 and the shops and restaurants of Main Street Markham, with Markville Mall just a quick drive away. More space. More light. No stairs. No basement compromise.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,250/mo, this is priced below the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in Markham. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Markham's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Townhouse Benefits
Townhouses offer an excellent balance of space and maintenance. You get more room than a condo with lower upkeep than a detached home. Key things to verify: whether it's freehold or condo-titled (affects fees and rules), and the condition of shared walls for noise considerations. Townhouses in Markham have shown strong appreciation as families seek more space.
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.
About Cornell
I know Cornell well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
