I Wanna live there Wednesday # 5

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood :( in which I live in basically servants quarters compared to what I'm surrounded by.)

Because there's 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 )

Good morning everyone :)
I showed this months ago, before I had the idea to show real estate listings every Wednesday - it deserves to be in this this series so here it is again!

$3,988,000
Exquisitely renovated residence offering the ultimate urban experience while located in Westmount. Boasting ultra premium finishes this unique home can be seen as a vertical condo but with much more living space and fully-equipped with an elevator. Three outdoor terraces and indoor parking for 3 cars complete this marvelous architectural gem.



I can see this house from my little teeny itsy bitsy kitchen - it's at the end of my street - but it may as well  be 1000 miles away lol - we all ( the poor relations down the lane ) clucked and shook our heads and said they would never get 4,500,000.00 for it - but the price has now been reduced.
Just so you can sort of grasp the real estate craziness of my area - I paid 350,000. for my " flat " - literally a 10th of what this is going for!  Up the street from me! Now granted, I only have one floor ( if you don't count the dirt cellar downstairs - and I don't think I want to count that lol ) And they have 4 floors - but still if you do the math - lets see - 4 floors X 350,000. would make it 1,400,000.00 correct?  Then with the added touches ( and there are a lot of them I must agree ) - we could add another million I suppose - so how do they get up to almost 4 million?  Guess that's why I'm not in real estate,
Their neighbours house went up for sale last summer for 600,000 - it needed to be renovated but still - talk about potential to make back your money.
I'm following this one closely!

And yeah if I could - I'd wanna live there, definintely.

Have a wonderful Wednesday -

Please make it stop


And once again Montreal makes the news................................

I Wanna live there Wednesday will be posted later today - I need to work my way through this one first.....................One life lost - another critically injured - The separatist movement now in power -
Our city is in shambles - a heartbreaking mess.
Pray for the families please ( something the blogmosphere seems to be doing at a rapidly increasing rate it seems )
