Owners’ comments

Unique on the market!  "Pièces sur pièces" log country home (4 bdrms or 3 bdrms + 1 (office or bdrm in basement), 2 bathrooms, 1 powder room) with exceptional character, featuring a superb stone fireplace in the living room, exposed beams, wood windows and abundant woodwork. 

It offers the cachet of yesteryear while providing the comfort and modernity of today on its 3 fully-appointed floors.  Completely turnkey.

A dream cabinetry kitchen with a large island, lots of storage space and Heartland electric appliances (included as is and not guaranteed by the sellers).

The property is well oriented, with landscaped, fenced grounds (ideal for pets or to prevent animals from entering the backyard).  The yard is also bordered by a mature cedar hedge.  You'll be assured of perfect privacy whatever the season. A beautiful private terrace at the back (cedar patio), offering the perfect spot for your morning coffee or l'apero.

Located in a commercial zone and with an independent exit to the basement, it will meet your immediate needs while offering multiple possibilities for your future projects (home office, hairdressing salon, massage, therapist, accounting, etc.). Plenty of storage space inside and out (attached shed and adjacent garden shed).

Possibility of bi-generation: Large basement room currently used for storage and kitchenette with plumbing and cabinets.
Separate entrance to basement. Possibility of re-installing door between basement and main floor (currently removed and stored).

Close to services, bike paths, elementary and high schools, St-Hyacinthe golf club, CEGEP, ITA and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, CITVR bus around the corner (Circuit 200 to Mtl), local bus (stop on side of lot).  Water sports and boating 5 minutes away by vehicle (Porte des Maires).

- 12" cedar hedge, 6" wood fence, arbor, doors and panels (all Quebec cedar).  Mature trees and fruit trees (2 apple trees), herb garden (thyme, mint, oregano, chives) and flowerbeds with over a hundred perennials.

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.

Need the form?

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!
