Discover this gem in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal. This expansive three-story property, formerly the Nuns of Mercy residence, has been brilliantly renovated by a visionary, blending contemporary elegance with historic charm.

Easy access to downtown, walk to Parc Lafontaine and all local amenities.
Located in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal, this iconic property is a living page of history. Once the residence of the Nuns of Mercy, it has been reimagined by a visionary inspired by the elegance of New York townhouses, orchestrating a masterful transformation that blends contemporary sophistication, modern comfort, and respect for heritage.
From the street, the commanding façade captures attention: brickwork enhanced by carved stone, wrought iron railings, and an undeniable sense of prestige. These features, a prelude to the interior, demonstrate an enduring commitment to detail and timeless nobility.
Crossing the threshold, grandeur unfolds in every space. Ceilings soaring to 9 ½ feet and 8-foot doors create a majestic atmosphere, while the warm open-plan ground floor invites flexible and inviting layouts. The highlight: the spectacular original staircase, enhanced with stained glass and bathed in natural light.
The large kitchen stands out with its immense island, white quartz countertops, and gas range hookup.
The property offers 5 bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and skylight, ensuite bathroom, and private balcony. On the same level, a second suite features a bathroom, a den, and a bedroom separated by a glass door. A 3rd bedroom and a 3rd bathroom with washer-dryer access complete the floor.
The basement, with its own entrance, provides a versatile space: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, laundry room, and mechanical room housing 2 new furnaces, an air exchanger, 2 60-gallon water heaters, and central vacuum. Outdoors, the panoramic cedar terrace with privacy walls and a gazebo offers a unique setting to savour the view over Montreal, while the indoor garage completes the picture of unmatched urban comfort.
Beyond aesthetics, major renovations spanning nearly 3 years have elevated the property: roof, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems completely redone, 2 new central heat pumps, optimized soundproofing (Sonopan, resilient bars), professional-grade Cat 6 network wiring (foundation work by previous owner). The use of premium materials--chevron-patterned oak floors, heated ceramic, ornate radiators converted to electricity--reflects uncompromising dedication to quality.
De Lorimier, once the epicentre of a burgeoning French-Canadian bourgeoisie, still reflects the vibrancy of that era. Here, every space tells a story--a heritage reimagined to meet today's demands.
Ideal for professionals seeking a home office or discerning buyers in search of something extraordinary, this residence will captivate those seeking a unique place where comfort, prestige, and history converge. Come discover this exceptional property!
