One of the oldest houses in Montreal is for sale

The “Maison Dumas”, rue Saint-Paul, was built in the 1690s.

< p>Located a stone's throw from the Old Port, this 300-year-old house is looking for new owners! A piece of history to afford for the modest sum of $2,399,000.

During a walk in Old Montreal, you have probably already passed by this small gray stone house on rue Saint-Paul. “So cute!”, you thought, before wondering who could possibly be lucky enough to live there, between these four walls steeped in history.

< p>What is known today as the “Maison Dumas”, named after the merchant Toussaint Dumas, was built at the end of the 17th century. In the following century, the small house which was originally made of wood and had only one floor was enlarged and the beautiful stone facade that can be admired today was added.

After more than 300 years of existence, the property, which is one of the oldest in the city, has lost none of its charm, on the contrary. Wood, beams, stone are apparent in almost every room of the house.

There is also a decor that echoes the past of the place: two stone fireplaces, a four-poster bed, a free-standing bathtub, rugs and curtains from another era furnish the house. We hope you like the look, because it's all included in the sale!

No compromise on comfort

Despite its historic character, the house has been renovated several times (as we suspected!) and includes two residential units. On a surface of 2545 square feet, there are 11 rooms, including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and a beautiful solarium in the form of a corridor. All are furnished and the two kitchens are modernly equipped.

And to spoil nothing, a nicely greened 1500 square foot garden allows you to enjoy the summer without being overlooked!

While it has already served as an inn in the past, the house now benefits from mixed zoning, which means that it can be used for residential, resort or tourist use, and for rentals. short term.
