Property Information:
This stone residence, the oldest in St-Eustache, set on a spacious lot of over 24,000 square feet, offers an authentic immersion in St-Eustache history with the magnificent Gratton and Chesser houses. Completely renovated while preserving its original charm, the Chesser house features high ceilings, stone walls and high-end finishing. Gratton is home to two separate dwellings with independent addresses.
This magnificent residence will delight lovers of ancestral homes. Located in old St-Eustache at the intersection of rue St-Eustache and rue Féré, its vast grounds of over 24,000 square feet are nothing short of impressive. Privacy is preserved thanks to hedges over twenty feet high.
History! Two houses occupy this site. The Gratton house, on the west side, still has its gambrel roof, while the Chesser house, on the east side, has had its upper storey extended by a mansard roof. The Gratton house was built between 1782 and 1785 by André Gratton. Built almost at the same time as the church, it is the oldest surviving dwelling in St-Eustache. In 1809, the extension on the east side was built by John Chesser. In the 19th century, the houses had many owners and functions, including a pottery and a local school.
