I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with 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 or two homes that are 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?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
A little break from the give aways - because this is a series after all - and we'll resume the give aways on Thursday and Friday - and Monday and Tuesday!!!
It looks like our home may go on the market next week - so these I WANNA live there's may become a little more realistic for awhile lol
These are all in the same price range more or less and are outside of my neighborhood - they're in a community outside Montreal called Hudson - which I've showcased before - and though they're smaller homes - they're packed with charm!!!
First one up is listed at 324,900
3 bedroom - 1 bath - 1 powder room
REALTOR - Lyndon Paul Gallagher
The next one is 344,000
2 beds - 1 bath - 1 powder room
Realtor - Diane and Paul Laflamme
I could see us living in either of them - perfect little homes for these 2 empty nesters!!!
See you all tomorrow - and have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Oh my gosh! The second one! I am putting my house on the market immediately and heading north!! I love this house...and the decor...and the light...and the big bathtub! Oh, the fireplace and the island in the kitchen. Dying here...
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous, but the second one is just about perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe SECOND ONE!! I am going to be referring to this post when it's time to remodel the kitchen...it's exactly how I want my kitchen to look!
ReplyDeleteI love the second one! I don't care for the slanted ceilings but I love the outside area and the porch! Dianntha
ReplyDeleteThey are both very beautiful. It's hard to choose, but I think I'm leaning a tad bit more toward the first one. Hudson is such a gorgeous area; you are bound to find something great there.
ReplyDeleteBoth are very nice. I love the painted floors in number 2....I would love to paint my floors white but hubby and the naysayers think I would destroy the value in my house.
ReplyDeleteThe first one, for sure. The backyard could use a little attention, but the interior is beautiful - and very much my style. Love it! (What's a powder room? is it adjacent to a bathroom?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be so awesome to be able to design your own house, exactly like you wanted it?? Your post has got me daydreaming today!
ReplyDeleteI really like the second home, it looks so cozy and inviting. Especially like those blue shutters on either side of the window in the living area. Nice pop of color!
ReplyDeleteOh- You have so much to look forward to, Suzan. I hope your house sells quickly and that you can find the perfect spot for you and John. You will make it beautiful no matter how it starts out. Hope you have a wonderful day- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove the outdoor spaces of the second one. This house would fit right in around here. I wonder if the blue shutters are to keep the "haints" out? A southern custom.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so cute but I like the second one a little more. I can't wait to see what you choose for your new home!!
ReplyDeleteRun, don't walk to buy the second one....OMG, you may have to race me there Suzan. I LOVE it. And the price is so right for Hudson...really, that cheap in Hudson?? I absolutely adore it!
ReplyDeleteI love this series Suzan!
Love the old doors on the top one and LOOOOOVVEE the bath on the bottom!
ReplyDeleteThey are both very pretty! The first one is more my style, but it's about you! I wonder which of those two is John's favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but love the first one the most!
ReplyDeleteThese are both such beautiful homes but I really love the second one best. I like the coziness of it and all the storage cupboards, the kitchen and bath are gorgeous, the bedrooms cute, the wainscotting, the stone fire place. Oh I just love it!!! The back yard is manageable and private. Of course the current homeowner is an awesome decorator and I could just move right in! :) Beautiful. (magazine worthy!)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan,
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh I like them both too. The second one with that stone chimney so charming. Love the kitchen and that bathroom in the second one too. Wow two great choices.
Kris
Here's another vote for the second one!I could even live with the small bedrooms with such all the detail in the downstairs.
ReplyDeleteI love them both!! V
ReplyDeletelove the secluded backyard for sure...
ReplyDeleteI love them both. Are you going to visit them? I so would like to come with you if you do! Maybe I can ask for a day off? I've already worked two days!
ReplyDeleteHi. I was stopping by blogs in hopes I could get your help....I've been nominated on Martha Stewart and I was trying to get Votes to help Win...if you have time I would love to see you come by, Vote and also entry in a giveaway for your support!! Your able to vote 6 times in a row daily until Sept. 13th!! I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks so much!

They are both very nice, but I like the second one better. I love the fireplace, the walls in the dining room, all the windows over the kitchen sink and the bathroom in the second house. It just seems to have a little more personality and be a little more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really do love them both for different reasons - the second one may have more historical charm though :)
DeleteXOXO
You are SO gonna want to live in MY "there" when we finally get it finished. Which, of course, may be 13 more years...

Both of them are great! If I were buying and had to speak to choose between the two, I would be stuck speechless, lol.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the first house. Beautiful floors, titles and kitchen. It's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Vanessa
I would move to Montreal for that second one...I love it! You should buy it.
ReplyDeleteI did see one potential problem, though. Those kitchen windows are just waiting for squirrels to jump in! Bwaaahhhaaaaahaaaa!
Ohhhh....LOVE the second one! Those vintage details are wonderful! I hope you get some commission from these agents! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI love the outside on all of them. So charming and green.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful homes! The locations look like a heavenly place to come home to. Look the porches and outdoor spaces!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
I love the second one-it is just charming! Good luck with listing!
ReplyDelete:)
Cecilia (are you singing?- I thought so! )
I love the second one.. The porches and outside areas are a dream. The bedrooms seem a little small in the pics but, overall I love it... You are going to have so much fun looking...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on selling your home! I can't wait to see what you end up with! All the homes you showcase make me want to live there...lol! So pretty...:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Vicky

Perfect country home!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane - I could live there year round :)
DeleteXOX
Both homes are so charming....I would love to live in either one! Thanks for sharing them with us :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
Hi Suzan!!!
ReplyDeleteI was impressed when I was visiting my uncle who lives in Hudson!!
It's beautiful year round. I liked the first house. The owner has
decorated it so beautifully!!
As you know, Hudson is very closed to where I grew up and where my
heart belongs!!
I wish you all the best in a quick sale and an easy purchase!!!
Pam

I could be happy in either of those homes...if I HAD to choose, probably the first because the kitchen looks more spacious.
ReplyDeleteBoth homes are really lovely, but I adore the second one. That kitchen, and bathroom, and the stone fireplace!! Love all the charm!!
ReplyDeleteIF someone could pack, move me and unpack, I'd take either one! I love the 2nd one especially. I'm not straightened out from this move but again, IF someone.... :)

Love that second house. So much charm. And the both have great outdoor spaces and fencing. I've got a craving for a farmhouse kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you could go wrong with either one. It is a dream of mine to one day own this type of home. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne of Simply Suzannes at Home
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan!
It's so fun to peak into other people's homes for inspiration!
I found so many inspiring ideas from your photos.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Have a beautiful week,
Suzanne
Beautiful homes all. I think it is fun to see the real estate in other areas. I love the bath in the first one soooo much.
ReplyDeletexoGinger
I love them. I really love the carpet runner on the stairs in the second home. You could just rip it out and mail it to me! Now I can hardly wait until you move!! Haha JK, but I will definitely pin this one so I can keep my eyes open for the same rug! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThose are both beautiful homes.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the second one has more historical charm:) Perfect for two empty nesters. Now that the kids are gone we are thinking about a move to a smaller home. These are both lovely homes with so much warmth:)
ReplyDeleteVery cute homes with lots of charm, but what's with those prices, wow! For $300,000 to $344,000 you could get a NICE sized fully landscaped lot and mansion here in the Milwaukee County area in a great neighborhood, with crappy weather similar to Montreal's so you wouldn't get homesick. Let me rephrase that - with a climate similar to the wonderful experience of four full seasons (if you don't count Spring and Fall which generally show up here for about 2 hours each year) that you have in Montreal. The U.S. dollar is worth less than the Canadian dollar so your Canadian dollars will buy more down here, too. And we don't have a 15% sales tax (yet). We do, however, have a Republican controlled state government so on second thought, you would probably want to stay well away from here. We're rapidly regressing to the 17th century BCE around here.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the second home!!! So much CHARM! I could see myself living there too.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Gorgeous! Both of them!!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin'# 2 as well! Such charm and so fresh! hugs

ReplyDeleteThe fence . . . the deck . . . the kitchen and those windows . . . the bath . . . WONDERFUL.
I can't wait to see what you choose.
Great homes!! That second one "charmed" me with the cozy details :)
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favorite, though the tub in the second one is dreamy. I can't believe you are getting closer to listing your house. I am anxious to hear if it sells as quickly as your last house.
ReplyDeleteThis house has loads of charm! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Thanks so much Sherry - I agree completely!!!
DeleteXOXO
I love the second one. Such charm and character. We built a farmhouse about 9 years ago. for some reason, I have always been drawn to farmhouses. I am visiting from Nifty Thrifty Tuesday and am a new follower of yours. I wold love for you to stop by Still Woods Farmhouse for a visit and to follow along if you like. Thanks for the tour of two lovely homes!
ReplyDeleteBlessings from Still Woods Farmhouse
OK I won't be picky...I will take either one!

Gorgeous Suzan, not only beautiful on the outside but decorated great too! Thank you so much for linking up with us at the Inspiration Monday Party :) xo
ReplyDeleteI could move right in...they are both beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am featuring this tomorrow at Home Sweet Home! Thank you for joining!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Um, yes please! That living room in the second one is absolutely gorgeous. I want to repaint my whole house white and slipcover everything! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh me too Kim lol - my next house is going all white !!!
DeleteXOX
What sweet homes I love them both...but that second one is my FAVORITE!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the feature at Savvy Southern Style! It would be very hard for me to choose out of the two, both are just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the 2nd house - and I love Montreal! Was lucky enough to visit a few years ago.
