Townhouse with 3 floor levels, 3614 square feet

& Tourist accommodation, possibility of renting 5 rooms

The building is part of the Frontenac block, built in 1882 according to the plans of the architect Joseph-Ferdinand Peachy. It is located at the highest point of Grande Allée Est in Quebec City.

It is one of the few buildings whose architectural qualities have not been modified over the years and whose details and mouldings have been highlighted (restoration, gilding, etc.). The majority of buildings in the same sector of Grande Allée Est have been transformed into rental housing, requiring major transformations and leading to the demolition of the majority of the original architectural elements

.

Zoning

The Quebec City Planning and Conservation Commission allows only one housing unit in the building. However, it allows C10 use, i.e. a tourist accommodation business, under certain conditions

.

A copy of the R.C.A.1V.Q.520 specification grid (sheet 11041Mb) of the Cité Limoilou district regulations on urban planning will be given to the future buyer, on request.

Two entrances on Grande Allée Est and tourist accommodation

The main facade includes 2 entrances, 501 and 505.

The 501 is the entrance to the 1st floor, the main floor of the Townhouse where the living rooms, living room, dining room and kitchen will be arranged. It is through this floor level that we access, by a monumental staircase, the upper level with 4 bedrooms

.

The 505 gives access to the ground floor where the large bedrooms 5 and 6 are located. If the owner wishes to rent rooms to passing customers, i.e. to take advantage of the authorized C10 use of the Commission d'Urbanisme et de Conservation de la Ville de Québec (tourist accommodation business), the 505 independent entrance can be used, avoiding that tenants have to use the main entrance of 501

.

One of the 6 rooms must be reserved for the occupying owner. The latter will therefore be able to rent 5 of the 6 rooms in the building to passing customers, regardless of the floor level.

High ceilings

The ceiling heights for each floor level are as follows: Ground floor: 8'-4 1/2", 1st floor: 13'- 3 1/2", 2nd floor: 10'-9".

The rooms where the living room and the dining room will be arranged have in the center of the ceiling a 42" diameter cast iron rosette, an original architectural element.

Renovation of the back facade

Work to demolish an entrance shed was carried out on the back facade of the building. Plans and specifications have been issued and a building permit has been requested from the city. These documents will be given to the future buyer, upon request. The building permit will be given to the purchaser when received. The renovation of the rear facade will be at the expense of the buyer.

The seller may, as an architect, give advice on the arrangements that the buyer would plan to make at the back of the building, the work currently planned being only renovation and repair of wall coverings.

Rental of a commercial space on the 1st floor

The building is currently occupied by office space. The front office on the 1st floor overlooking the main facade, on Grande Allée, where the living room of the Town House will be located, is currently rented as office space

.

Commercial building transformed into a town house

No development is being made to transform the commercial building into a Townhouse. The buyer must carry out all construction, renovation and development work that meets the program of his needs, and he will assume all costs

.

Purchase offer - commercial building

As the building is currently converted into office space, the document proposed by DuProprio for the Purchase Offer must be for a commercial building. On the other hand, if the buyer wishes to occupy the building as office space, as is currently the case, he will be able to do so.

Municipal taxes

Municipal taxes are currently for a commercial building. Since the tax rate is 3,189 per $100.00 of assessment, the amount of municipal taxes is currently $37,114.03 for the year 2025

The tax rate for a residential building, i.e. for a Townhouse, which is offered to the buyer, is 0.7597 per $100.00 of assessment. In this case, the amount of municipal taxes will therefore be considerably reduced.

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!
