The neighborhood coquette | A project in Lac-Brome

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.



Rooted in one of the most charming villages in the Eastern Townships, Lac-Brome (Knowlton), a country-style house is looking for an enthusiastic buyer. Because it is not a turnkey property, specifies broker Lynne Gravelle, adding that the house is a “renovation project” and needs love. Its foundations need to be solidified, heating is non-existent upstairs and the original floor needs to be sanded in places. Holes in the ceiling also indicate water infiltration in the past.

Still motivated? So much the better ! The following allows us to consider its potential. Built in 1931, this listed heritage residence displays its original character, particularly on the facade where a dapper azure blue clapboard sets it apart from neighboring houses. Above all, it is strategically located in a sought-after neighborhood and at the end of a cul-de-sac, argues Lynne Gravelle: “A similar house, which had been renovated, was sold for $575,000 last year. » Attractive for a family, it is located a few minutes’ walk from the marina, the beach, a daycare and a primary school. The trail connecting the historic city center to the shores of Brome Lake is accessible from the neighboring street and allows for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or cycling, depending on the season.
