A Once-in-a-Generation Historic Loft Comes to Market in Old Montréal — A Ground-Floor Masterpiece of Architecture, Volume, and Soul

A rare, 3,329 sq.ft. dual-level loft with 14-foot ceilings, monumental arches, restored stone, and a complete architectural reimagining — now offered at $2,495,000.

Montréal, QC — January 6th, 2026

DISCOVERED BY CHANCE. CHOSEN WITH INTENTION. TRANSFORMED WITH VISION.

Phillip & Tracey began searching for a home in Old Montréal more than a decade ago. Coming from Australia—where modern interiors within heritage buildings are celebrated—they wanted a place with history, contemporary design, space for their teenage children, and a walkable lifestyle. But nothing inspired them until Tracey walked past a commercial listing that stopped her in her tracks.

Through its monumental arched windows, she saw height, light, symmetry… and possibility.

“The moment we walked inside, even though it was still an office divided into cubicles, we felt the soul of the space. The high ceilings, the stone and brick, the windows stretching across both sides—we knew instantly it could become something extraordinary.” — said the sellers, Phillip & Tracey

Despite zoning challenges and a required co-owner vote, their determination prevailed—allowing them to transform a commercial office into the home they knew it could be.

AN ARCHITECTURAL REBIRTH — REBUILT FROM WITHIN (2015)

Working with architect Ricardo Giaotti, the sellers reimagined the space entirely, executing a complete demolition and architectural rebuild:

• 14-foot ceilings with exposed beams
• Restored stone and brick walls
• Oversized arched windows on both sides overlooking historic surroundings
• $80,000+ invested in new subfloor and porcelain tiles
• Custom-selected quartz, granite, and slate surfaces
• Cat5 wiring throughout for future-ready connectivity
• A redesigned HVAC system with dual air-conditioning units
• Full commercial-grade electrical and plumbing replacement
• Restaurant-standard ventilation for cooking
• A sophisticated LED lighting plan exceeding $30,000
• Floor-to-ceiling curtains and recessed blackout blinds

THE LOWER LEVEL — A SELF-SUFFICIENT SUITE WITH CHARACTER

The lower level was purpose-built for their daughters as they grew older and later served as a flexible independent suite:

• Full kitchen and private bathroom
• Independent laundry and water heater
• Separate electrical sub-panel
• Exposed stone walls and natural skylight
• Ideal for extended family, guests, creative work, or a live-work setup

A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE A VILLAGE

“Tending the window boxes in summer meant meeting neighbours, passersby… people would stop to chat or compliment the flowers. It made Old Montréal feel like a village—not a city.” — said the sellers, Phillip & Tracey

The courtyard animates the home year-round: blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and snow on the historic stone in winter.

WHY THIS PROPERTY IS TRULY IRREPLACEABLE

“Homes like this simply don’t exist in Old Montréal,” says Christina Miller. “Ground-floor lofts of this scale are rare, and ones that have undergone a complete architectural transformation are even rarer. This is a once-in-a-generation offering.”

Ideal for executives, creatives, families seeking flexible living, or anyone drawn to heritage architecture blended with modern luxury.
