If you're not up for climbing stairs to a tiny coach house and you've outgrown basement living this is your upgrade. Welcome to main-level living done right in Cornell Village. This bright, beautifully renovated 1,045 sqft flat offers something almost impossible to find in the rental market: space, light, and ease all on one level. With soaring 9' ceilings, a private front entry hall (yes, with an actual closet), and generous storage throughout, it lives more like a home than an apartment.The crisp white kitchen is equal parts stylish and functional, featuring quartz counters, open shelving, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances including fridge, stove, and dishwasher. Wide-plank flooring flows throughout, leading into a large, airy living space that can easily flex to include a home office or cozy den - no sacrificing your dining table for a desk here. Access the large bedroom through frosted glass French doors. No shortage of daylight with two huge picture windows. The spa-like 3-piece bath with glass shower and quartz vanity adds a polished finish, while the included parking spot and easy access to transit make everyday living seamless. Upgrades throughout this glorious suite include quartz counters, smooth ceilings, pot lights, elegant 6" baseboards.Back door exits to covered back porch and parking spot. Location-wise, it's hard to beat: just steps to Cornell Community Centre (library, pool, fitness), Markham Stouffville Hospital, Cornell Bus Terminal, and everyday essentials. Only a 7-minute drive to Highway 407 and the charming shops and restaurants of Main Street Markham. A quick drive to Markville Mall. More space. More light. No stairs. No compromises.

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?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $2,175/mo, this is in line with typical 1-bedroom rents in Markham (~$2,300/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 52 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Markham. 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.
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.
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.
