The neighborhood coquette | Charming alcove in the heart of Quebec

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.



We regularly see apartments on the market in this former church converted into a condo building in 1989, located at the gates of Old Quebec – they belong to the Alcôves du Palais project, a grouping of around sixty housing units.

Some show themselves more or less in a good light, but in the case of this one, we can say that it draws the full potential of this setting with a rather particular religious past. It’s not huge (706 ft⁠2or 65.60 m⁠2), but quite sufficient for a single person (hard-core single person, professional in need of a pied-à-terre, student, elder, etc.), with an open-plan space bringing together living room, kitchen and dining room, topped with a mezzanine with bedroom and bathroom.

We love the brick and the arches which give a charming character, as well as the general look reflecting excellent maintenance (wooden floors, sliding barn door, ceramic tiles in the bathroom). With several cherries on the condo, including the large bathtub, as well as a sauna, laundry room and exercise room accessible in the common areas. As a bonus, a private parking space is part of the sale. At $199,000, what are the people asking for?
