Welcome to all!
Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity on the market. Owned and meticulously maintained by the same family for generations, it reflects a remarkable commitment to preservation while benefiting from numerous improvements over the years.

Built circa 1940 in the Spanish Revival style, this distinctive residence stands out for its unique architecture, timeless appeal, and warm character.

The 1550 unit features a spacious 4½ apartment offering two bedrooms, a functional kitchen, an updated bathroom, and two independent exterior entrances that enhance both convenience and privacy.

The 1552 unit also offers a 4½ apartment with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a modernized bathroom, and two separate exterior entrances, providing comfort and autonomy for its occupants.

Abundant natural light and well-designed living spaces contribute to a comfortable and welcoming environment.

The property benefits from two front entrances as well as two rear entrances. A covered porch provides the perfect place to enjoy summer days sheltered from the elements, while a separate entrance offers direct access to the basement. The basement includes a service cellar with an abundance of storage space.

Outside, the private, wooded backyard serves as a true urban oasis in the heart of the city. Its peaceful and verdant setting provides the ideal backdrop for relaxation, family gatherings, or simply enjoying nature.
