The action
The unit is in a sprawling complex south of a CP railway line.Re/Max 2000 Inc./Re/Max 2000 Inc.
The location may not be ideal, but this condominium is close enough to the plentiful amenities, the green spaces and bicycle paths of the trendy Petit Laurier neighbourhood in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal to make it attractive.
Agent Dominic Brisebois says he got a few raised eyebrows from visitors to the 812-square-foot suite. It’s in a sprawling condo complex located on the south side of a Canadian Pacific railway line and – just for good measure – looming just across the tracks are twin abandoned incinerator smokestacks. The couple who were selling wanted something larger and more convenient for raising a family, with a private backyard, Mr. Brisebois said. All told, there were 16 visits, resulting in one offer.
