Mansion for sale: $31 million
First story that comes up on Google news this morning is a Macleans piece on this mansion you can buy for $31 million on Pine Avenue.
Pfft, all that cash and it’s only Westmount adjacent. Also, the photo over the caption “the walnut‑panelled library” actually shows a bathtub.
On the upside: no breakfast bar, even in the photo essay on Sotheby’s.

I’m puzzled, don’t you put your books in the solid marble bathtub, like any rich person?

Been for sale for a LONG time. Philippe III de Gaspé Beaubien I think is the owner. Tax-wise, the property and building is only valued at $7.5M. Maybe the city should tax them based on what they think they could sell it for. They obviously can afford to pay the higher tax bill.
Incidentally, not the most expensive house on the market at the moment. $35M for 3165 Place De Ramezay ($4.4M property evaluation) and that’s Irwin Lande… notorious and infamous in the news (and that is all I will say about that).
It’s clear… these houses aren’t evaluated properly by the city and clearly, the city could probably make up some of it’s shortfall by fixing the evaluations of homes in that part of Ville-Marie by the values they want to sell at. Might also make them a little less “over the top” with their prices.
