The neighborhood coquette | Quiet country life

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.



While the sugar season is in full swing, our coquette of the week takes us to Saint-Justin, a small municipality in the MRC of Maskinongé, in Mauricie, whose territory has a large number of maple groves.

This property is not one, but it reflects the spirit with its cedar shingle exterior cladding, its tin roof and its barn in the backyard.

Bordered by cultivated fields and mature trees, the house is located on a large plot of land which has agricultural and residential zoning. Inside, a soft, enveloping cocoon bathed in light awaits future owners. Well maintained, the residence has retained its period features – wooden floors and kitchen cabinets, exposed beams, paneling – without bearing the weight of age.

Laid out on one and a half levels, the house has three bedrooms, one of which has been combined with an office space, a plus for teleworkers. The main living areas are grouped together on the ground floor, as well as a large wardrobe and storage space for kitchen equipment.

But it is certainly the two verandas, each different from the other, which attracts at first sight. It’s hard not to imagine yourself rocking there, a book in hand, on a beautiful spring morning.
