La Maison Ursulines...at the Heart of the Ville de Québec's Historical Treasurers
|
|
Welcome to “la Maison Ursulines”, a spacious (1990+ sq. ft.) and elegant condominium home rental 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. "La Maison Ursulines" includes the Grand Level (First Floor) and Lower Level of an exclusive four-home condominium building.
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 just down the street ...and the Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens (la Maison Jaquet, the oldest building in the province) simply around the corner; this condominium home is at the heart of the Ville de Québec's historical treasurers.
Within two blocks of the Chateau, this 185 year old, 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 famous Supreme Court judge and the judge in the trial of the King versus Marie-Anne Houde.
