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 renovations due to its age and condition, or demolition due to the 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 may be possible, but the scope of required work would be significant. Therefore, a demolition to rebuild a home with all the modern conveniences is the greater potential. As a result, this property is being sold for market 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. The Buyer is solely responsible for confirming with the City of Beaconsfield the feasibility & costs of a demolition, the necessary permits and various plans and approvals for reconstruction. 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 project, 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.
