Exceptional location, unique opportunity
First time on the market, this handsome residence, ideally
located, is facing iconic Lafontaine Park. From immense
balconies gracing the façade, one enjoys an awesome view on
the delightful park, inaugurated in 1874 and designed by
famed landscape architect Frederik Law Olmsted.
Owned by this one family for generations, the triplex has
vast dwellings of 7 1/2.
Large windows and a skylight impart a pleasant luminosity,
even on rainy days.
Original wooden mouldings and hardwood floors (maple and
oak) spread throughout the apartments, as well as period
arcades and elegant stained glass windows, a touch of the
Victorian era. To access second and third levels, there is
an indoor staircase, rare in the neighbourhood. The
basement is over 6' high, and
the roof is of white gravel, in accordance with the energy
regulation.
The ground floor opens on an intimate and sunny yard,
impressive with its 50 feet long, ideal for private
activities. A double garage, rare in the area, is covered
with a second level. Over the garages, the roof is all
aluminium.
Plateau Mont-Royal is one of the most agreeable
districts... bustling and exciting, it offers a variety of
delightful restaurants, cafés, trendy boutiques, and all
services: schools, university, hospital, bus, subway...
When idling in Lafontaine park, nature lovers will enjoy
walking, cycling, skating...or simply daydreaming in front
of its inspiring lake and water fountain.
Ideal for outdoors activities, one might enjoy the tennis
courts, or the superb Théâtre de Verdure, featuring
concerts, plays and movies.
La Dolce Vita...your lifesyle!
