Vacation Rental Description
|
|
Spacious (1990+ sq ft) and elegant 186 year old condominium home in the heart of Old Québec's magnificent Upper Town, located within the ancient city walls, included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site
and overlooking Upper Town's memorial square.
With next door "neighbors" including the 1804 Holy Trinity Cathedral (modeled on London's St. Martin-In-The Fields and the oldest Anglican church outside of Great Britain) just across the square, the 1722 Ursulines Chapel, Museum and Monastery right across the street, the world famous Musee d'art Inuit Brousseau at the end of the street, Battlefields Park (the world's tenth largest city park) just up the hill, Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral just down the street ...and the Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens (the oldest building in the province known as la Maison Jaquet) simply around the corner; this condominium home is at the heart of the Ville de Québec's historical treasurers.
Within one block of the Chateau, this 2-level home provides the ideal "home base" for exploring the surrounding town, for gracious entertaining and casual lounging activities.
Located on a quiet street, the main entrance incorporates the first level of a keyed building constructed of cut limestone in the Neo Classical tradition. Upon entering, you are greeted by a pair of carved wood and stain glass entry doors leading to a private interior foyer ... The residence of Louis-Philippe Pelletier, Quebec's Supreme Court judge in the 1890s and the judge in the trial of the King versus Marie-Anne Houde.
This "Grand Level" has 12 foot ceilings plus restored original Corinthian details and includes a living room with 9-foot high shuttered windows (overlooking Upper Town's charming square), formal dining room (seating for 10), complete kitchen, breakfast area, a full bath and a library/office. Floors are antique narrow-strip polished natural finish Canadian maple.
The "Lower Level" presents an intimate ambiance with its profusion of rustic stone walls, decorative fireplace and hued wood beams. The two bedrooms and a relaxing family room (or third bedroom) all have clerestory windows and polished walnut finished wood floors. The bathroom on this level is inset into a room with exposed stone walls and features one of two contemporary glass shower stalls, ceramic tile floors and a refurbished period claw-foot tub.
Decorated with antiques, "over stuffed" country French furnishings and an eclectic art collection; it's a sophisticated yet very comfortable environment.
Shopping, dining, museums and cultural events are less than a block away South to rue Ste Louis or one block North to rue Ste Anne. For the best in fresh meats, produce, a good bottle of wine or a quick snack a great deli is just two doors away.
