Century-old home listed among Montmagny's heritage buildings, with its front façade facing the former Route 132. For knowledgeable buyers and restoration enthusiasts: major work required, generous living space, 4 or 5 bedrooms and a finishable attic. Buyer must verify renovation, demolition or reconstruction plans. Never occupied by the seller and sold without legal warranty, at the buyer's risk. Cadastral operation underway for CPTAQ recognition of acquired rights and separation from the farm.

Built along the former rural route of Boulevard Taché West,
this century-old home is a particularly interesting example
of traditional Quebec architecture with neoclassical
influences. Its one-and-a-half-storey main structure, metal
roof with curved eaves, gabled dormers, front gallery and
orderly arrangement of openings reflect the construction
methods and way of life that characterized rural Quebec
during the 19th century.

The property retains several original features, including
multi-pane windows, wide-plank wood floors, wood panelling,
plank ceilings, mouldings and an exposed timber roof
structure in the attic. The home also features a secondary
volume connected to the main residence, reflecting the
building's functional evolution over generations.

Listed by the City of Montmagny among its heritage
buildings of exceptional or superior value, this property
is an important reminder of the rural landscape and
architectural history of the Côte-du-Sud region. Despite
the conservation work it requires, it retains remarkable
authenticity, presence and restoration potential.

The interior appears to have preserved an exceptional level
of authenticity. The large room shown in the photographs
features:

* wide-plank wood floors;
* walls entirely finished with vertical wood planks;
* lower wall panelling separated by continuous moulding;
* plank ceilings supported by substantial crossbeams;
* wooden window and door casings;
* traditional multi-pane casement windows.

The quality of the woodwork and the consistent treatment of
the walls, ceilings, openings and floors reflect a level of
craftsmanship that has become increasingly rare.

Roofing

The roof appears to be covered with traditional sheet
metal. Depending on the section, it seems to consist of
assembled metal sheets, possibly standing-seam metal or
traditional embossed metal panels.

Exterior cladding

The house features several distinct exterior cladding
materials:

* The pale green main façade is clad with horizontal wood
boards.
* Some rear walls appear to be covered with manufactured
rectangular panels or shingles.
* The gable walls feature diamond-patterned panels.
* Certain secondary sections also appear to be clad with
shingles or rigid panels designed to resemble traditional
siding.
