With the new year, Brigitte Lafleur will be starting a new real estate project, hot on the heels of selling her luxurious home in Mont-Saint-Hilaire. This was the sixth property she sold with the help of DuProprio.
Brigitte has owned about 15 properties so far and has probably renovated a dozen. That’s a solid track record for the 44-year-old artist. “The extent of the work needed has varied, of course, but they’ve often been large projects,” she admits with a wry smile. “We always think the house we’re renovating will be the one we grow old in…” But then restlessness and the desire for change seem to kick in again.
But otherwise, the living area, which includes the living room, kitchen and dining room, is still her favourite part of this house. “It’s where we spent all of our time, and it’s an inspiring space, with its high ceiling, panoramic view in front and mountain view in back,” she describes. “And that appeals to my contemplative side.”
The restless streak resurfaces
But finally, despite the house’s beauty and the great memories they’ll keep of it, this house wasn’t to be their last one. After putting it up for sale in the summer of 2018, and then removing it after a change of heart, they put it up for sale again in late November. They accepted an offer less than 20 days later.
“The sale happened faster than anticipated, so our plans are still hazy, but we’re open to anything,” Brigitte says enthusiastically. “It’s a great time to shop, to dream and to find our next gem… There are sure to be a few renovations to do.”
