Built around 1880 and listed in the City of Laval's heritage inventory, this remarkable property stands as a valuable testament to traditional 19th-century Quebec residential architecture.
With its distinctive flared gable roof, gabled dormer windows, and covered porch, it preserves the timeless charm and architectural character of homes from a bygone era.
Located in the historic district of L'Abord-à-Plouffe, once an important village centre within the parish of Saint-Martin, this residence transports you to a time when the Rivière des Prairies served as a vital transportation and commercial route.
As early as the 18th century, a ferry co...nnected the two shores. During the 19th century, timber rafters transporting logs stopped in the area, contributing to the village's development. The community became a municipality in 1915, attained town status in 1947, and was subsequently incorporated into Chomedey in 1961 and Laval in 1965.
Today, this historically rich neighbourhood combines old-world charm with modern urban living, offering proximity to the Rivière des Prairies, essential services, amenities, and major roadways.
