545 Av. Elm, Beaconsfield (Sherwood (North West))
Discover a rare opportunity on one of Beaconsfield's most beautiful country-like streets. Set on a magnificent 16,200 sq. ft. wooded lot, this 1913 Canadiana home offers two exciting paths: a complete renovation for heritage-home enthusiasts, or a potential rebuild to create a spacious residence with all the modern conveniences in an exceptional setting. Nestled within the boundary of the 250-acre treasure known as Angell Woods with its wandering paths, and a short walk to the train, this peaceful cul-de-sac location is ideal for visionaries, contractors, and anyone seeking a unique project.

Addendum
Welcome to 545 Elm Avenue, a distinctive property located at the far western edge of Beaconsfield, surrounded by nature and lofty trees. This peaceful dead-end street offers a bucolic setting rarely found in the West Island, all while remaining only a 5 minute walk from the commuter train and close to key services.
The existing home, built in 1913, is a classic 1.5-storey Canadiana cottage with an inviting wraparound veranda. While full of charm and history, the building, also known as Maison Gregory since 1918, requires extensive work due to its age and condition. Buyers should expect major repairs to the roof, veranda, crawl space, interior and exterior structural elements, kitchen, and plumbing and electrical systems. Though it benefits from city water, the property remains on an old septic tank and weeping field designed for a maximum of 3 bedrooms. The septic system will soon require replacement. Recent updates are limited to a newer bathroom and an electric furnace.
For the right buyer, renovating the existing house is possible, but the scope of required work may be significant. This is a true fixer-upper project for those with the vision, expertise, and resources to restore a century-old structure. Given the nature and extent of the renovations required, this property is being sold for land value only.
Given the size, shape, and beauty of the lot, many buyers may find that demolishing the existing dwelling and building anew is the most cost-effective approach - however this will be subject to municipal and provincial regulations on heritage properties. A new construction could take advantage of the deep, rectangular 16,200 sq. ft. terrain to create a large home with all the modern conveniences and 4+ bedrooms, a full high basement, and still enjoy the benefit of generous outdoor spaces - all within the stunning natural environment of Angell Woods.
Whether you are a heritage-lover seeking a challenging restoration, a contractor searching for a high-value building lot, or a family dreaming of designing a custom home in a peaceful wooded setting, this property offers extraordinary potential. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare in Beaconsfield. The value here lies in the land, the location, and the freedom to create something truly special.
