The neighborhood coquette | A piece of history

Affordable and adorable: we set ourselves the challenge of finding Quebec properties for sale for less than $500,000, but with a little something that sets them apart.




Century-old houses are full of stories, and this pretty sun-colored residence, built in 1925, is no exception.

Built in Saint-Simon, in Montérégie, it still highlights the talent of its first owner, Alcide Racine. A village cabinetmaker, he worked the moldings and other woodwork of the residence by hand, which gives the rooms a charming charm of yesteryear. In certain places, we discover minute patterns.

At one time, the building also housed the post office of the municipality, located about fifteen minutes from Saint-Hyacinthe.

On the ground floor bathed in daylight thanks to the numerous windows, we now find a large dining room with a wood fireplace, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and an office.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms as well as a renovated bathroom and a separate laundry room. But that’s not all ! A narrow staircase leads to the attic, where we discover a huge bedroom, unique in its kind.

The vast, intimate courtyard and its many mature trees are sure to charm visitors looking for tranquility.

Located in the heart of the village of Saint-Simon, close to the primary school, this property would be perfect to accommodate a family who hears the call of the countryside.
