Discover a rare opportunity on one of Beaconsfield's most beautiful country-like streets.

Addendum
Welcome to 545 Elm Avenue, a distinctive property located at the western edge of Beaconsfield on a peaceful dead-end street surrounded by Angell Woods, while remaining only a 5 minute walk to commuter rail service and close to key amenities.
Built in 1913, the existing 1.5-storey Canadiana cottage, known as Maison Gregory, features a welcoming wraparound veranda and retains the charm of a bygone era. Though recent improvements include a renovated bathroom and an electric furnace, the home requires some major updating and improvements to meet modern standards. It is serviced by city water but currently relies on a septic system which will require replacement in the future.
Renovation of the existing structure is certainly an option for those inspired to restore a century home, though buyers should budget and plan accordingly. The property has been priced to reflect its condition and the work to be undertaken. As with any property, municipal bylaws govern renovation and redevelopment (i.e. new construction) projects. Since 2021, the province has required municipalities to inventory all properties built pre-1940 to determine potential heritage value. As this property was built in 1913, it is included in this inventory so any renovation or redevelopment must not only be reviewed by the municipality, but also by the province to determine whether or not there is any potential heritage value. However, based on discussions with the City's Urban Planning Department, applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and experience to date suggests a very low likelihood of refusal when proposals, including demolition, are properly presented. Though buyers should conduct their own verifications with the municipality, should a Buyer prefer to demolish and rebuild, the current owner would be willing to apply for and assume the cost thereof (approx. $22K) for a Demolition Permit which, once approved, would be transferred to the Buyer. This represents a major advantage to the Buyer in terms of both the costs and delays involved, and the sale of the property would be subject to the approval of the demolition. The Buyer would then be responsible for the costs of subsequent permits and plans and approvals for reconstruction.
Given the exceptional 16,200 sq. ft. lot - deep, rectangular, and beautifully wooded - some purchasers may also explore the possibility of new construction. The generous dimensions of the land would comfortably accommodate a substantial residence with modern amenities while preserving expansive outdoor space within the remarkable natural setting of Angell Woods.
Whether you are drawn to the idea of restoring an older cottage, seeking a prime building opportunity, or envisioning a custom home in a tranquil wooded enclave, this property represents a rare chance to secure an outstanding lot in Beaconsfield. The true value lies in the land, the location, and the opportunity to create something exceptional.
