Guy Laliberté, the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, has put his exquisite Montreal residence on the market for an astounding $13,880,000. The grandiose dwelling, tucked away on a sought-after slope of Mont Royal, within the sophisticated district of Outremont, was presented for sale just recently.
This magnificent historical edifice was built in the 1930s and has since been lauded as an architectural marvel of significant importance. Its distinctive ashlar cladding and slate roofing certainly set it apart, according to IMMEXCEL, the prestigious real estate agency responsible for its sale.
Laliberté purchased the residence in the late 2000s and meticulously refurbished and enlarged it to its current majesty. His extensive modifications resulted in an expansive 10,134 ft2 living space, distributed over five levels and comprising a whopping fifty rooms. This captivating home successfully melds dynamic family living with the capacious requirements often desired for hosting grand social events.
The luxury extends to eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, four powder rooms, and an array of lavish facilities. These include a capacious office, a cozy fireplace, a fully-stocked library, a sun-kissed solarium, a private terrace, a wine cellar, a billiard room, a customized bar equipped with a DJ booth, a home gym, a home theatre, and a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, which boasts a spacious walk-in refrigerator.
In addition, all the levels are adorned with refinements such as oak, stone, or ceramic flooring. The crowning glory of this opulent domicile is the top floor, accessed via an original oak staircase, dating back to when the house was constructed.
Adding to its grandeur, the property comes with ample external space. The overall plot spans 15,660 ft2, inclusive of a garage and parking facilities that could easily cater to eight vehicles.
According to the recent census data from Statistics Canada, the home sits in a highly affluent area, inhabited mainly by a French-speaking population. The average individual and family incomes were recorded at $222.2k and $528.7k, respectively.
