I WANNA live there Wednesday # 52

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?

Terraced brick house
Offers over 560,000
4 bedroom - street parking
Realtor Simpson and Marwick
Craigleith ( close proximity to Edinburgh's West End and Stockbridge ) 

What a beautiful home - loving all the fireplaces - especially the one in the nursery!!!














































The next one starts at offers over 660,000
3 bedrooms - 2 baths
Off street parking and garage
Realtor Savallis Edinburgh

For those of you that have been following this series for some time you'll notice
that these houses look very much like the houses in my neighborhoud 
Westmount ( Montreal ) Quebec - so we obviously had a very strong Scottish 
influence here - 



































The next one is a 2 bedroom flat
Offers over 220,000
Edinburgh - 
Realtor Murray Snell WS Solicitors

This is a ground floor flat - converted from office space - I LOVE the character of this 
building and the floor to ceiling windows ( with AMAZING views ) Wouldn't it make a beautiful Pied a Terres right in the heart of things?








I think an industrial highly polished concrete floor would look fantastic in this place

















And having this as your neighborhood would make all of the above priceless I would think
