Property Description

Timeless Jewel in the Golden Square Mile: A Legacy of Elegance and Grandeur

Secluded behind towering cedar trees in Montreal’s prestigious Golden Square Mile lies an extraordinary estate that epitomizes grace and historical importance: the former residence of renowned industrialist and philanthropist J.W. McConnell. This exclusive almost two-acre parcel, the only one of its kind in the area, was designed by renowned architect Charles A. Platt who also worked for the Rockefeller and Vanderbilt families creating some of the most iconic homes in the world. This offering is an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history while basking in the splendor of lush gardens and luxurious living.

This magnificent 67-room Italian Renaissance Revival mansion transcends the ordinary, presenting an opulent tapestry of artistry and refined craftsmanship at every turn. A majestic wrought iron and gold leaf gate opens to reveal a breathtaking fifty-foot-long Reception Hall, leading to the resplendent Pillar Hall—a true embodiment of architectural magnificence.

Upon entry, guests are greeted by the airy "High Room," where light dances off coffered 21-foot ceilings, harmonizing with the exquisite beauty of a bench originally commissioned by the esteemed city fathers of Siena in 1424. The warmth of an imported Renaissance stone fireplace adds an intimate charm to this grand space.

Every inch of this estate tells a story of elegance, from the walnut-paneled library, a quiet retreat filled with scholarly allure, to the expansive dining room, gloriously adorned with doors captured in a renaissance style reminiscent of Raphael’s brushwork. Adjacent to the dining area, a culinary haven awaits, showcasing a high-end kitchen outfitted with the finest appliances, complemented by a family room and an additional catering kitchen designed for effortless entertaining.

A sun-drenched solarium beckons you to unwind, transformed into a chic lounge for after-hours gatherings. Ascend the opulent marble staircase to discover the private sanctuaries on the second floor—luxurious bedroom suites featuring his-and-hers ensuite bathrooms, indulgent dressing rooms, and serene offices.

The third floor unveils additional realms of relaxation—spacious bedrooms, a cozy family room, and a rejuvenating spa. Meanwhile, the crowning jewel of this estate reveals itself on the splendid rooftop terrace, granting unobstructed panoramic views of the city, complete with an outdoor movie theater that redefines the concept of home entertainment.

The basement is thoughtfully designed for leisure and function, boasting a sumptuous family room, a panelled game room transformable into a sophisticated conference setting, and a meticulously curated wine cellar.

With state-of-the-art geothermal heating, dedicated staff quarters, and an elegantly preserved Otis Fensom double door brass elevator servicing all levels, every aspect of this residence marries modern comfort with historical grandeur.

Encircling the estate, the tranquil gardens evoke an enchanting serenity, featuring meandering ponds, cascading waterfalls, artistic sculptures, and an amphitheater—an idyllic sanctuary that offers a sublime escape from the vibrant energy of the city, mere minutes away.

In a realm where time-honored elegance meets modern luxury, this exceptional estate in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile stands as a singular opportunity—a rare gem that invites you to become part of its illustrious narrative, in a setting that is nothing short of breathtaking.
