Thompson Manor, Estate of the Day

Today's estate was originally built for the Montreal's rising merchant class over one hundred years ago but now the home has been given a luxurious new renovation for modern tycoons. Thompson Manor, in Ville-Marie, Montreal was built in 1907 and has been updated into a luxury home with all the modern amenities. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen has granite countertops and the original hearth appears to have been turned into a low maintenance gas fireplace.

The mansion has over 10,000 square feet of space that includes an open-concept formal dining room and living room, home theatre, three family rooms, a gym area, four bedrooms and a mahogany wine cellar with room for 5,000 bottles, a wine tasting area and wet bar. This home boasts some very indulgent bathrooms including one with a solid rock soaking tub. The property also has a triple garage with a loft that can be used for additional living space or as an art studio or home office. It is listed at $7.875 million Canadian.
