Centennial house for sale with lots of potential. The house was built in 1899 in the village of Les Méchins, it was previously a post office before being a dispensary for the nurse of the village and the surrounding area, formerly, they called it the house of the Dion guard

.

The house is located near services such as the elementary school, the post office, the CLSC, the convenience store, the small village grocery store as well as mountain bike and snowmobile trails.

It is built piece on piece in birch hearts and the interior walls are made of small planks so it is very sturdy. The ceilings are about 9 feet high and in the basement the height is 10 feet. The house is not turnkey, but it is still very functional.

Here, in summary, is the work that remains to be completed: The finishing in the living room and the kitchen; the painting in a few rooms and the stair railing; the finishing of the front entrance of the house, we have a lot of materials accumulated to complete this work.

With regard to renovations already carried out:

  • Redo the salting, adding a cold room, a cross beam and integrated ducts to heat the basement floor (2018).
  • The electricity was updated in 2009 with a 200 amp electrical box (about 70% of the electricity has been redone over the years and 80% for the plumbing).
  • All windows and vinyl siding have been refurbished (2017).
  • Renovated the bathroom upstairs (2017).
  • Another bathroom was added (2021).
  • Work on the kitchen was started in 2022.

The reason for the sale is that we have new projects to complete before we retire, so we want serious buyers only.

The steps involved in buying a property

Could this property be “the one”? Here’s an overview of the steps involved in becoming the owner. These steps and the legal implications remain the same whether the property is purchased from an individual or through a broker.

1
Financing

One of the first things to do when looking for a property is to get a mortgage preapproval from a financial institution. The goal is to determine borrowing capacity, and as a result, the price range to be looking in.

2
Offer to purchase

The property suits the budget and needs? Time to submit an offer to purchase! This document sets out the price, the elements included in the sale, the possession date, the conditions of purchase and all other information relevant to the sale.

3
Conditions of purchase

The offer to purchase generally includes conditions. The most common are the property passing an inspection, the buyer providing proof of financing and the buyer selling their own property. Once the listed conditions are met, the property is considered sold.

4
Property transfer

The last step is to see a notary, who is generally chosen by the buyer. This real estate professional drafts the deed of sale and ensures that the interests of all parties involved are respected.

Once the deed of sale is notarized, the new owner gets the keys to the home. All that’s left is to move in!
