    GTA Condos For Sale That Feel Like the Cottage

    From stunning lake views to rustic cabin vibes, these properties can give you that cottage feeling minus the two-hour drive.

    Written By Robert Van Rhijn

    With the summer season fast approaching, cottage escapes are certainly on the mind. While owning one of your own might not be in the cards right now, there are plenty of Toronto condos for sale that feature hints of cottage living. Whether you’re looking for a larger outdoor space, a stunning lake view or that lush woodsy aesthetic, did you know you can get that feeling right at home?

    The cottage market remains hot as ever in Ontario. But with GTA condo prices beginning to cool, it’s the perfect time to look for a condo with those cottage features you’ve been dreaming of!

    1400 Dixie Rd, Unit 104 | $739,000 | Mississauga

    One of the great features of a cottage is to be able to walk outside and be surrounded by nature. It doesn’t feel like something you would find in the GTA, but this 1,200 square foot Mississauga condo for sale will make you forget you’re in the city. The one bedroom, two bath suite is on the first floor with a walkout terrace surrounded by trees and green space. Light pours in through the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows. Even the amenities at Fairways Condos feel like a summertime resort with tennis courts, an outdoor pool, and nearly 6 acres of outdoor space! The only drawback is that the building was constructed in the late 70s, meaning it can feel a bit dated. (But then again, most cottages are, too.)

    993 Queen St W, Unit 106 | $1,347,500 | Downtown, Toronto

    It’s likely the wood ceiling, aged hardwood, and exposed beams that make this downtown condo feel like the cottage. Located in the highly-desirable Candy Factory Lofts, this stunning suite features a spectacular arched window looking out at Trinity Bellwoods. The grey kitchen cabinets and Douglas Fir posts also lend well to that rustic feel. It just goes to show that new owners can also play up that cottage vibe with the right kind of styling!
