I WANNA live there # 28

I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 
Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )
Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that  - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!
On occasion I'll showcase beautiful homes in other areas - countries - continents - the one thing most of them will have have in common will be their age - because I love old homes with stories to tell, join me won't you?

Oh " Mon pauvre coeur " - I could just die from the next photo!!!
Is that unbelievable or what?
Can't you imagine having parties in that courtyard with music drifting from the house and glasses clinking and laughter in the background?

want a closer look at that courtyard?
oh, ok
fairy lights - it needs fairy lights all over the place...............
check out the arch leading to............another brick court yard????????????

Ok - let's go back inside - there's a lot to see here and these fantasies need feeding

and this next image is going to be glued to the back of my eyeballs for a long long time -

what a brilliant idea for a small kitchen - to have cupboards over the " dead " space of a doorway!!!
and I absolutely love the cupboards..................

I was going to end it here - until I came across this one...............couldn't resist one more!
