There's something quietly charming about life at Cranbrooke Village. This is a refreshingly livable 1-bedroom layout in a well-managed and community-forward condo. Enjoy iced coffee at the peninsula breakfast bar, a paperback borrowed from the resident library, or a little fresh air on your North-facing balcony overlooking the landscaped walkway. The unit has open-concept living/dining, in-suite laundry, owned parking and locker, and a soft, reflected sunset glow lights the living room just the right amount in late spring and summer. The building itself has a rare sense of neighbourliness: with a rooftop garden where residents on the horticultural committee grow herbs, fruits and vegetables; there are two BBQs for easy summer dinners; residents enjoy community potlucks, watch parties, seasonal gatherings and informal Buy Nothing exchanges. Built by Tridel and LEED certified with a Sabbath elevator, with Lawrence Plaza, Yorkdale, the public library and multiple TTC routes nearby, this is a sweet, connected home base with more heart than the average condo.
