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?

Have a wonderful Wednesday all!!!

Sharing with!
Pretty snappy homes - like the first one the best. The other one is nice but they should have staged it better, don't you think?

I like the 3rd one best, but its so dark, i'd paint the heck out of that place : P
ReplyDeleteLove the second house. I think of myself as "the queen of everything" so I would like to live in a castle!! I wouldn't even mind the cherry cabinets in the kitchen. Thought I think you are right, I would spend a lot of money on Kilz and white paint.
ReplyDeleteWhat grand places! It would take me a few lifetimes to pay for either one...haha.... I like the first one the best! It has so much character. They certainly don't build homes like they used to. Too much cookie cutter style these days.
ReplyDeleteI love the second one, that's amzing, I'd go with white for the wood too, wood just makes houses look dark! Well it does mine anyway!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the great houses of Westmount! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'll take house #1 thank you! Then I will need new furniture to style it according to my personal taste! I always enjoy this feature!
ReplyDeleteEven before I saw the interior, I knew I wanted to live in the first one! LOVE the exterior!!! Imagine parking the car and looking at that charming exterior every day as I walked up the steps to my new home. Interior's nice too...white...wood floors...It's mine!
ReplyDeleteFirst one is much nicer in my eyes. But... I just don't see how people can afford houses like that?
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous but I'm in love with the 1st one Suzan! Those moldings?! Like icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteThat granite countertop in the kitchen of the first house is probably my all-time favorite countertop EVER. No, I'm not getting it. :/ Thanks for rubbing it in.

If I bought #1, I would have a stiff neck from marveling at the beautiful ceilings all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe detail is amazing.
I can't wait to see the pro pics of your house.
Love the kitchen. The whole house is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoth homes are so gorgeous but the kitchen in the first one is AMAZING! Oh to dream......
ReplyDelete~Des
Love the houses. Love all the details in the first one. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs from here
I like the bottom one because it has a DUNGEON!!! A DUNGEON, PEOPLE!!! I NEED A DUNGEON!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same as Kirby - who else would have a dungeon in the castle. I love it! It looks like something from a horror movie.
ReplyDeleteWhen can I move into the first one? The only thing that would hold me back is no garden space - but then I wouldn't care cause the inside is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteGarden Schmarden LMHO .............I agree with you completely ( I'd make the deck a complete container garden though without a doubt )
DeleteXOXO
I like the second's character and love that basement! The first is nice but I am not a fan of the crown molding and the modern backsplash, but those kitchen counter tops are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThey are both pretty. I really like the first one, but it is formal and fancier than what I'm use too. :) I
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what the professional photographer accomplished!
That first house is gorgeous. Wow.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah....that second one is for me...wood, brick, and stained glass? I'd be in heaven. lol

love the first one! want to see yours
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I could live happily ever after in either of those!
ReplyDeleteI would have to purchase both! I love the brown stone the best. I love the crown moulding but I would replace the backsplash in the kitchen. It fights with the marble. Since I have the money to purchase both, replacing the backsplash is no problem.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is awesome on the outside and I love the stained glass. Wish the annex on the right had been more in keeping with the original.
Of course when I come out of escrow, I can take care of that!
LMHO!! Ginger
You find the most amazing properties, Suzan. I love all the moulding in that first one. Gorgeous home. That second one could be great all redone. The red carpet would be out the door before I put my first bag down. Hope your own house sells fast! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove them both but I am definitely with you on the white paint! Great post Suzan!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first one, especially all the wood work in it. But wouldn't you prefer finding a tiny house in Britain so you can watch Downtown Abbey as soon as it's out, without messing up your computer? (all because of a Blonde French girl)
ReplyDeletemy oh my! i don't need that much space, but i could pick and choose a few rooms from each that i love. what character! thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes. all that warmth and then that showstopping white marble kitchen!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, and hope you'll pop over when you have a second!
smiles.
