The neighborhood coquette | A link between the city and the suburbs

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 allows them to stand out.



15 minutes from downtown, this luxurious condo is not far from a bustling city. However, it is accompanied by the tranquility specific to its sector of Nuns’ Island which offers, as a bonus, just as quick access to the South Shore. A few steps from the apartment, a park with a pond is a green refuge. By taking the walk a little further, you reach another patch of nature and a path that runs along the river for more than a kilometer.

Located on the third floor of a six-unit building, the interior is never lacking in light thanks to its large windows. Despite a relatively modest living space of 868 square feet, an impression of grandeur emerges. We owe this to its open concept configuration and a cathedral ceiling. The ground floor includes a living area where the living room, dining room and kitchen are aligned, as well as a closed bedroom. On the mezzanine, a large room overlooks the space without visual hindrance and currently serves as a guest bedroom. With a minimum of imagination, you can very well see it as a large office space.

Built in 1990, the property was partially renovated in 2021 by the previous owners who wanted to update the kitchen to their liking. Next to the peninsula, shelves can accommodate a few books or a bar area, argues broker Armand Andronache: both are in fact current trends. The balcony is accessed through the living room. This outdoor space, approximately 15 ft. x 6 ft., can accommodate a few chairs and a coffee table, so you can better enjoy summer! Garage parking is the bonus that makes this condo a hassle-free option.
