Spacious family/ artist/ athlete/ musician-friendly sanctuary in Montreal

Description

Will you be living in Montreal during January - July 2026? Our single family house in LaSalle will be available and could be your sanctuary during your time in this marvelous, culture-rich city. We are located on a quiet residential street, very near the St. Lawrence River. Use our bicycles (of various sizes!) on the 30+ km of bicycle paths that take you around the southern and eastern parts of the island of Montreal. We are walking distance from a small stretch of shops and restaurants and an easy drive or longer walk to a large shopping district, many restaurants and several award-winning bakeries. We are on a commuter train, and a short drive to the Metro (green line). The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 home offices, and various other spaces for creativity, sitting/ conversation, and exercise. It has an open-space kitchen, dining, and living area. It is a calming and inspirational setting whether you are working in Montreal, or at home, or both. We are both professors downtown and have found the commute easy and convenient. There are many local schools in the area, including a community-oriented French elementary school and a very loving daycare very nearby. There are also many other daycares within a 5-10 minute walk, and several notable English and French high schools nearby. We are happy to help you navigate school-related decisions for your children. The house has a porch in the front, and a deck in the back, with plenty of seating. It also has an above-ground pool. The backyard is its own delight, with many birds and flowers all around. The house also has a balcony with seating and views of the river and spectacular sunsets. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, and a variety of small appliances and cookware. While the house has electric heating, the living room has a 3-sided propane fireplace that provides warmth and atmosphere to the wood-themed room. The living room also has a TV, stereo, and an assortment of global arthouse DVDs and CDs. In an effort to limit our online footprint, we are happy to provide more photos upon request.
