TRAFALGAR ON THE PARK: Living at Trafalgar, with its exceptional history and location, is a privilege, a luxury. This prestigious 4219 sq. ft. Penthouse spanning two levels gives the perception of living at the Top of the World. The unit feels more like a house, benefiting from the amenities and advantages of condo living. Ideally situated near Westmount, just steps away from downtown and facing Mount Royal Park, this property offers 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, stunning hardwood floors, high ceilings, and breathtaking views from its two magnificent private terraces.
The building deserves an introduction to its history and location:
It is located on an island facing the mountain. Jacques Cartier named this mountain Mont Royal, and it stands on the horizon of the city of Montreal, offering its residents panoramic and breathtaking views. The landscaping of Mount Royal was designed in 1874 by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, around the same time he was working on the landscaping of New York's Central Park. It features Beaver Lake, numerous trails, woodlands, cycling paths, and 26 km of cross-country ski trails. Nature lovers encounter diverse wildlife, and the air is purer. It is the lung of the island of Montreal. This territory and its surroundings, including the Trafalgar building, are classified as cultural heritage by the Province of Quebec. No additional construction can be implemented, and all the incredible views are and will be preserved in the future. This is a privilege and a luxury.
The building, constructed in 1931 as a luxury residential apartment complex in the "Chateauesque" style, draws inspiration from French and Scottish architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1975, the building was converted into condominiums. This unique and elegant style is exclusive to Canada. The interior spaces are very comfortable and luxurious. Turrets, chimneys, gabled dormer windows atop the facades of orange bricks, and sloping copper roofs are typical features of this architectural style, giving the building a noble appearance reminiscent of castles of the past and elsewhere. The infrastructure of Trafalgar has recently undergone a complete restoration, including a new copper roof, pointing and replacement of orange bricks on the facades, reinforcement of stone walls, refurbishment of the garage and interior courtyard, installation of new storage lockers, upgrading of elevators to optimize operations and ensure safety, and more. A maintenance program is in place.
Living at Trafalgar includes numerous services. A dedicated and pleasant staff, a doorman from 7 am to 11 pm, and an on-site concierge. Valet parking in the garage, two gyms, a dog walkway, and visitor parking. Access to a magnificent third Terrace with panoramic views that can be reserved for special events. Additional garage spaces can be rented. The monthly condo fees include all of the above, as well as heating, hot water, building insurance, maintenance, and cleaning of common areas.
Being able to live in the iconic Trafalgar is a dream of living in a castle!
** Note that the Trafalgar is not the Gleneagle has several points of view, by its legal structure of a co-operative versus divided co-ownership for the Trafalgar. In addition, all major renovations to the Trafalgar building envelope have long since been done unlike the Gleneagle.
