This pretty ancestral house with a mansard roof has retained the charm of its origins which date back to 1903. Adorned with cedar shingles painted blue and gray sheet metal, it seduces with its skylights and its large gallery, characteristics of the architecture of the era.

  • All in wood, the solarium is a bright and warm space.

  • We love the contrast of the steel blue wall with the pale color of the moldings and the white of the ceiling.

From this old lady, we love the solarium, warm and inviting with the hammock hanging there. Painted wooden slats brighten up the walls in each of the rooms.

In addition to its three bedrooms, the house has an open living area with a wood-burning fireplace and two bathrooms, one of which has a must-have clawfoot tub.

Its price: $224,900

His city: Loretteville district, Quebec

Its rooms: 9, including 3 bedrooms

Its land: 4809 ft⁠2

Its little extras: its charm of yesteryear, the “cocoon” effect created by the mansard roof inside the bedrooms upstairs and the solarium
