This is More Than a Fair View - It's Luxury Served with a Skyline Cue! Corner unit sunlight and CN Tower in sight... This place? It's got BDE - Big Dream Energy. Tired of cookie-cutter condos that feel meh? This sun-soaked 2yrs new premium suite with 2 full bedrooms is anything but ordinary with windows on two sides, grand 9-foot ceilings, and 2 balconies, it delivers serious light & space. The main terrace balcony flows across one whole side of the suite, from the living room to the bedroom, with clear south east facing 180 degree views on full display (and yes, that's the CN Tower making a cameo, just to flex your city status a little...) The second balcony is a private escape, ideal for sunrise coffee sips. Inside, despite being steps from the DVP & Don Mills Subway Station, the suite is shockingly quiet.... Like, did the city shut down? That quiet. The pretty kitchen is functional & clever, with sleek stainless steel appliances, a movable island that adapts to your lifestyle, with plenty of counter & storage space. Cooking, serving, or dancing around with a glass of wine, this space gets it. Perfect for WFH days, midday naps, or ignoring Slack with intention. And the building? No slouch. There's a modern gym, party room, rooftop terrace, & even a rec room for when your social battery hits 5%. The suite comes with a convenient storage locker to keep your seasonal gear out of sight but within reach. (Looking at you, inflatable paddle board.) You're also walking distance to everything you need & more -- Fairview Mall, groceries, cafes, parks & top-rated schools like Kingslake & Brian PS. With a Walk Score of 85 & Transit Score of 77, you're connected, mobile & always one step ahead of traffic. CN Tower in view, the energy's bright, come for the glow, stay for the life done right.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,475/mo, this is priced below the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in Bayview Village. 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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 101 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Bayview Village. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 600 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.
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.
Let's Walk Through It Together
Photos can't tell you about traffic noise, natural light at different times of day, or how well the landlord maintains the property. When we view it together, I'll assess the condition of appliances, HVAC, and finishes — and flag anything that might become a headache. I'll also help you understand the lease terms before you sign anything.
