About this listing

Built in 1861 before the Confederation of Canada in the historical Sandy Hill district, the Graham House was built for a customs collector and was later the residence of Toussaint Trudeau, a Deputy Minister of Public Works. Years later, this Designated Heritage Property was converted into an exclusive 6-unit market-equity co-operative, a structure often seen in New York City and Montreal. The charming perennial front garden offers lovely views of the limestone facade, mansard roof, and dormer windows.
