Description

We are a professor and a novelist in our early sixties. We have a bright 3 bedroom, (linens available), 2 bathroom home in Monkland Village a vibrant, friendly, green neighbourhood in Montreal. We have books and art in all the rooms. There are two large bedrooms with queen-sized beds, and one single bedroom. Plus two extra office rooms. There is a large finished basement with gym equipment -- a treadmill and a rowing machine and the laundry washer and dryer. Our garden is stunning from spring on through the summer with bulbs and perennials in bloom under a large old maple tree. In summer it is bliss to sit on the deck and enjoy the parade of colour and scent and in July the fireflies at night. The kitchen is large and fully equipped and includes a gas cooktop, dishwasher, fridge and microwave. We are minutes away on foot from schools, shops, cafés, restaurants, boutiques, parks, and the community swimming pool. There are bike paths everywhere, and easy access by bus and metro to all parts of Montreal.
