This exceptional condo is for sale on the Plateau
If you are looking for a spacious, bright, and above all, atypical condo, look no further! This exotic triplex – and large enough to accommodate not one but two grand pianos – ticks all the boxes.
Located just outside Jeanne-Mance Park, the imposing building that houses this condo catches the eye. It must be said that it does not at all have the usual look of the small triplexes and duplexes that make up the charm of the Plateau-Mont-Royal.
It is in fact the Mortimer B. Davis building, built in 1929, which housed the YMHA (Young Men’s Hebrew Association), then the Plastic Arts Department of the University of Montreal, until that it be left vacant in 2002.
A unique architecture
This story partly explains the particular architecture of this vast condo of 4416.43 square feet. In the hall of impressive dimensions, which was built on the foundations of the building's former auditorium, the ceiling thus reaches almost 19 feet in height. There are also moldings and huge original windows that give the place all its charm.

On the same floor, the open space also includes a large dining room and leads to a fully equipped kitchen where wood and granite meet. The second floor, which overlooks the living room with a mezzanine area, includes a first bedroom, a bathroom and a library, where moldings also echo the original architecture of the building.
Finally, the top floor hosts two large bedrooms, each with its own adjoining bathroom, a walk-in and a particularly bright office. The latter and the master bedroom both lead to a large terrace overlooking Jeanne-Mance Park.
To spoil nothing, the building has a gym and a a heated indoor semi-Olympic swimming pool, where the 1920s mosaic has been carefully preserved.
The property is also sold with a storage locker and two indoor parking spaces.
Asking price: $4,850,000.
