This Ontario condo is a dream for first-time buyers for less than $600,000

It's no secret that breaking into the property market in and around Toronto is an enormous feat, especially these days, but this Ontario condo is a dream come true for anyone in the market for a first home.

Or a second or third home, really.

With a central location that's just five minutes off the 407 and QEW and a stone's throw from local restaurants, shopping, parks, schools and trails, 2040 Cleaver Avenue in Burlington is an ideal spot to plant your roots, and, listed at under $600,000, unit 324 is just the place to do it.

This recently renovated 1,200-square-foot unit is the stuff that condo-dweller dreams are made of, occupying a coveted corner spot on the top floor, with sleek finishes and an abundance of natural light.

The living room.

A sweeping, 300 sq. ft. living room serves as the heart of the home, with an open-concept floor plan that flows seamlessly through an open dining area to the kitchen, coupled with sleek laminate flooring reminiscent of sun-bleached wood and a flood of natural light that visually doubles the space in size.

The kitchen.

In the roomy kitchen, you'll find polished quartz countertops, an eye-catching backsplash and all stainless steel appliances.

Divided from the rest of the living space by only a breakfast bar that adds considerable counter space, the kitchen's position makes it ideal for entertaining.

The primary bedroom.

The unit features two generously-sized bedrooms, including a corner primary bedroom with windows on two walls for unparalleled natural light, remote-controlled blinds and a walk-in closet. Talk about a sanctuary!

The bathroom.

Each trip to the bathroom will have you walking out feeling like you just left the spa, as a roomy steam shower joins forces with a deep soaker tub and opulent floor tiles in a spacious 100 sq. ft. allotment.

In-unit laundry.

The bathroom is also home to a recently updated washer and dryer, so there's no need to fear that dreaded post-move-in breakdown, or worse yet, trips to the laundromat.

The balcony.

The unit also boasts a private balcony overlooking the quiet and peaceful complex, of which 2040 Cleaver itself is one of the most sought-after buildings.

Along with the unit, you'll also receive a devoted storage locker and underground parking, which, alone, are nearly enough to make the unit pay for itself.

2040 Cleaver.

Unit 324 at 2040 Cleaver Avenue is currently listed at $574,000 by Ana Bastas of Ana Bastas Realty.
