1084 Le Gardeur is something rare in Dorval South, a true cottage, not a bungalow conversion, not an extended split-level, sitting on one of the largest residential lots in the neighbourhood at 10,213 sq. ft. While most homes at this price point in Dorval South are split-level bungalows or heavily extended conversions, this one was built as a cottage from the ground up, and it shows. Soaring cathedral ceilings sweep through the living room, creating a quality of light and spatial presence that no renovation budget can replicate. This is the volume you feel the moment you walk in. At 10,213 sq. ft., this is one of the largest residential parcels available in Dorval South, a neighbourhood where lots of this size are no longer being created. Mature surroundings, genuine privacy, and serious outdoor potential in a market where buyers are increasingly settling for less. The home: ~2,083 sq. ft. of living area. Main floor: The living room commands immediate attention; cathedral ceilings soar overhead, anchored by a skylight and a dramatic full-height window at the staircase, which floods the space with natural light at every hour of the day. A fabulous open oak staircase rises through the heart of the home, adding architectural character rarely seen at this price point in Dorval. Solid hardwood floors throughout the main level, excellent condition, warm in tone, a clear sign of how well this home has been maintained. Dining area flows openly to a generous eat-in kitchen with a dinette. Family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the kind of space that earns its place in a house this size. Powder room, laundry room, and integrated garage access. Long paved-stone driveway fits two cars in tandem. Upper level: Three generous bedrooms, including a primary with a walk-in closet, served by a full bathroom. Basement: Spacious playroom, large open bedroom area easily enclosed with a door, workshop, repurposable cold room, abundant storage, and a complete floor that adapts to whatever your household requires. Backyard: Two-tiered wooden deck, upper level for entertaining, lower for lounging. Storage shed. Generous, well-proportioned 10,213 sq. ft. lot, depth, privacy, and outdoor potential are increasingly rare in Dorval South. Building components: Solid brick construction. Heat pump (2016), forced-air ducts, no baseboards, no compromises. Roof 2014. Water heater 2024. Sump pump. Location: Steps from Lac St-Louis, parks, and bike paths. Walk to Dorval Shopping Centre, train station, Bus 211 (Lionel-Groulx metro / John Abbott College). Minutes to Académie & Collège Sainte-Anne, Dorval-Jean-XXIII, Gentilly, and Dorval Elementary. Walking distance: Aquatic & Sports Centre, arena, library, water park, skatepark, and infrastructure that most Montreal neighbourhoods can't match. Among the lowest municipal tax rates on the Island. The indicated living area is based on the municipal assessment roll. AI staging was used in some photos.
