Located at the foot of Mount Yamaska in Saint-Paul-d’Abbotsford in Montérégie, this two-story house built in 1855 bears witness to solid ancestral know-how and the passion of those who knew how to perpetuate its splendors.
This cottage surrounded by agricultural expanses is doubly unique: on the one hand, because of the extremely rare nature of this type of building and on the other hand, for the appeal of this site of unparalleled beauty.
Built on a very popular location in the region, the residence blends in wonderfully with its rural environment. Mountains, vineyards, fields and orchards: every day you will be seduced by the most picturesque panoramas of the region.
A place where magnificent views, history, old character, and the sweetness of life meet: this property put up for sale by Marie-Piers Barsalou and Johanne Meunier of Sotheby’s International Realty Québec will dazzle you.
This 169-year-old house has lost none of its former elegance. On the outside, its granite stone block cladding and its sheet metal roof already give it a great look.
We find this same timeless presence inside. This carefully maintained interior is distinguished by the nobility of its materials, its elegant cremone windows and its oak floors.
Our first stop inside: the living room!
Flanked by an inspiring library section on one side, this exquisitely charming room is embellished with a sumptuous granite tiled fireplace and a boudoir corner at the other end.
The living room adjoins a dining room with the same harmonious decor. This spacious space with an inviting atmosphere will delight people who love to entertain.
After meals, move to the adjacent veranda to end the day contemplating the sunsets which cover the Saint Grégoire and Rougemont mountains in shimmering colors.
The kitchen has been completely renovated with materials that match the warm antique character of the house. Luxurious wood cabinets rising to the ceiling match the ceramic tile floors. As for the granite countertops, they add a touch of modern contrast which energizes this beautiful set in warm tones.
Accessible both via the veranda, the dining room and through an exterior door, the boudoir offers a whole range of possibilities. It looks like a library with multiple shelves filled with books!
The floor made of wide wooden slats, the woodwork extending from floor to ceiling as well as the stone masonry give a particular character to this room which surely has an interesting history.
As for the bathroom on the ground floor, it has been revamped with a glass and ceramic shower as well as a recent vanity.
Upstairs, a boudoir warmly welcomes us. This discreetly charming space lends itself well to various uses: cozy corner for listening to sweet melodies, area dedicated to relaxing activities, office for those who wish to work away from the comings and goings of the ground floor… So many possibilities!
Nestled in the privacy and calm of the upper floor, the three attic bedrooms invite you to peaceful nights of sleep and gentle awakenings.
A second bathroom accompanies the bedrooms upstairs. It is equipped with a bath-shower and a vanity fitted with wooden cabinets.
More storage is available upstairs with a space of 7′ 6″ x 5′ 10.8″ provided for this purpose.
As for the basement which has an exterior exit, although it is not finished, there is a large storage-workshop as well as a laundry room.
