Addendum
A MAJOR, DOCUMENTED TRANSFORMATION
Originally built in 1949, this property underwent a major transformation in 2014-2015. A full second floor was added following structural plans sealed by an engineer and a City of Montreal permit, with new framing, roof trusses, and engineered-wood beams and posts.
This extensive work also included a full renovation of the wiring (200 A service, new panel, new mast, new wiring), plumbing, insulation and drywall. The windows were replaced with casement Low-E units, along with the roof and steel exterior siding. The municipal water inlet and drain connection were also replaced, including the private portion formerly in lead. Plans, permit, expert reports and several invoices are available on file.
Further improvements were made over the years: wall-mounted heat pumps (2021), treatment and insulation of the crawl space (2021), and attic ventilation work.
MAIN FLOOR
At the entrance, the slate floor, smart lock and built-in mudroom set the tone. The main floor offers a bright, open living space where exposed wood beams add great character. The living room opens to the kitchen, featuring an island with a stainless top and barn-wood base, then to the dining nook leading to the yard through a patio door. An elegant steel-and-wood staircase leads upstairs. A third bedroom that can also serve as an office, plus a powder room with laundry space, complete this level. Several original hardwood floors were kept, sanded and restored.
UPSTAIRS
Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom enjoys a large walk-in, as does the second bedroom. The bathroom offers a clean, contemporary feel: separate glass shower, freestanding tub, vessel-sink vanity and ample storage.
OUTSIDE
The property sits on a flat, fenced lot of over 3,780 sq. ft., with a private backyard bordered by mature cedars. It features a hardtop gazebo, a dining area and a recent metal-roof shed. At the front, a covered porch with glass railing and a stained-glass door adds charm, along with a long paved driveway and an electric-vehicle charger. The home sits on a crawl space.
A PRIME LOCATION IN MERCIER-EAST
The property faces Pierre-Bernard Park and is near La Vérendrye international school. Pierre-Bernard Park offers large green spaces, baseball fields, a splash pad and an outdoor skating rink. Nearby, Promenade-Bellerive Park stretches about 2.2 km along the St. Lawrence River (relaxation areas and seasonal river shuttles). Schools, daycares, shops and services on Sherbrooke Street East are close by, and public transit easily reaches Honoré-Beaugrand metro (green line). Major routes make it easy to get downtown and to the South Shore.
Despite its original 1949 construction year, the home now features major components that are far more recent. Sale with legal warranty. Renovation file, plans, permit and expert reports available. A property to discover in person.
