1 Verclaire Gate

A regal development in the Unionville neighbourhood, Ellington Park Condos stands 4 storeys tall and is home to 46 stunning suites. The project was inspired by French chateaus, evident in the charming balconies and impressive stonework on the façade. The property is gated with an iron-wrought fence and shrouded by trees.

1 Verclaire Gate is an intimate boutique residence; unlike larger condo developments, this complex offers paired down amenities, limited to: a concierge, an event room, guest suites, and parking. Condos fees are roughly average for the neighbourhood but cover everything except hydro and air conditioning.

These Markham condos are so expansive that it hardly seems fair to call them condos — making them ideal for buyers who enjoy the security of a building but desire the space of a house.

1 Verclaire Gate is a luxury condo residence, through and through. The tranquil atmosphere begins in the manicured gardens and continues inside to the lavish suites. Homes here start at 1371 square feet and can be as large as 1538 square feet; the majority of suites follow 2 or 3 bedroom layouts.

Suites at Ellington Park Condos are luxuriously styled, with rich hardwood flooring in all principal rooms, crown mouldings, and pot lights to set the perfect mood. Kitchens open to the living space and feature granite countertops and large breakfast bars. Units have integrated stainless steel appliances and mosaic backsplashes. And prospective buyers will absolutely adore the jetted soaker tubs in bathrooms.

All units have private terraces offering serene views of the gardens. For all of this luxury, most would anticipate a high price per square foot and yet, price per square foot is average for the neighbourhood.

Unionville is a green-filled neighbourhood with a rich history; the downtown area provides a glimpse into the past through many historic structures that are still standing today.

Car owners won’t need to spend too much time in city traffic — it’s only a 9 minute drive to the 404, and only 30 minutes to the downtown core, if the traffic Gods are on your side.
