I WANNA live there Wednesday # 13

I live in a pretty incredible area - 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'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 )
   
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

You know what?  I'm fed up of being in the city this week - so let's head up north - 
1st stop Mont Tremblant - ( named by the Algonquins - " trembling mountain " )
Bobby Kennedy and Ethel met on this mountain way back in the day.
This is first and foremost known for it's ski resorts - however it's a pretty spectacular place in the summer too.
It used to be a winter wonderland for the International jet set - and although it's still very costly to live there ( as you can see from the first house I'm showing  - there are still affordable condos to be had ) 

Here's what the N.Y Times has to say

TUCKED into the Laurentian Mountains less than 80 miles north ofMontrealMont Tremblant is a stunning Quebec ski town perched at the southern tip of Lake Tremblant. It somehow manages to blend the kitsch of a Disney-like ski resort, the elegance of a small cosmopolitan city and the serenity of fir-and-pine-covered mountains. Isabella and Brian Allendorfer make the 15-hour drive from Chicago with their two children, ages 5 and 3, at least four times a year. The couple bought a three-bedroom, ski-in, ski-out property just minutes from the pedestrian village for 419,000 Canadian dollars last July.
“We couldn’t touch anything like that in the U.S.,” Mrs. Allendorfer said.

Ok everyone, let's go!  It's about an hour from Montreal - 
You can have this one for 1,950,000.























Ok - stunning beyond belief definitely - but if you can't afford to buy your own country basically - 

Here's a more affordable place at 315,000. - just a few photos - but I think it's so charming
3 bedroom - 3 bath - close to ski and golf resorts





AND IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN EVEN LOWER 129,000 CAN GET YOU THIS ADORABLE CONDO - MINUTES FROM THE SKI TRAILS




THEY EVEN MANAGED TO SQUEEZE A BEDSIZED LOFT IN THERE ( FOR OVERNIGHT GUESTS? )
MONTREAL IS LOADED WITH EUROPEAN CHARM ( DID YOU KNOW WE'RE CONSIDERED THE EUROPEAN CITY OF NORTH AMERICA ? )
BUT MONT TREMBLANT COULD BE A VILLAGE RIGHT OUT OF SWITZERLAND - TAKE A PEAK AT THESE







OK OK - DON'T WANNA LIVE THERE BUT WOULD LIKE TO SPEND SOME TIME IN MONT TREMBLANT TO SEE WHAT ALL THE HYPE IS ABOUT?  YOU CAN CLICK HERE - IT'S A PRETTY MAGICAL PLACE....................

WHICH WITCH WISHED WHICH WICKED WISH?


Please say that 3 times very quickly before you continue with the post lol



there are cruel witches





and " fool " witches



some should go back to school witches




there are kind witches

almost blind witches

and some hard to find witches

there are mean witches


and teen witches

and some inbetween witches

there are cold witches

and old witches

and some good as gold witches



some witches are caring

some witches are daring

some witches are what we'd call
overbearing


there are fun witches

weigh a ton witches
and completely high strung witches

AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO CAN'T WIGGLE THEIR NOSE
WHO DON'T WEAR A HAT OR OWN A BLACK CAT
WHO USE A BROOM TO SWEEP A ROOM
(NOT FLY IN CIRCLES AROUND THE MOON)
WHO DON'T CAST SPELLS - OR WEAR A BLACK DRESS
BUT THEY ARE WITCHES NONE THE LESS
AND NOW IT'S TIME, I MUST CONFESS

'CUZ THE SCARIEST WITCH YOU'LL EVER MEET
(RUN, IF YOU SEE HER ON THE STREET)
WITH HER CACKLE LAUGH AND HAIR UNRULY
YEAH, THE BIGGEST BITC WITCH IS MOI,

happy halloween witches

 XOX

and because I previously wrote this - I didn't realize there would be an even bigger one in the picture than I could have imagined - hoping that horrible witch Sandy never returns - prayers to those who lost loved ones.
