$29M home for sale is one of the most expensive in Canada — here's a look inside

While most of us are busy browsing homes we might be able to afford, there’s something fun (for me, anyway) about taking a peek inside the type of property fit for a kajillionaire.

Tucked away in Montreal’s ultra-exclusive Golden Square Mile is a ridiculously fancy piece of real estate with a $29 million price tag.

That’s a lot of pocket change. But, hey, you never know when you’ll win the lottery, right?

This 1918-built mansion is packed with history, character, and old-school glamour. It’s also one of the most expensive properties on the Canadian market right now.

According to the Sotheby’s listing, it was once home to renowned industrialist and philanthropist J.W. McConnell, who was born in Ontario but later relocated to Quebec. The home was designed by acclaimed architect Charles A. Platt, whose client list included the Rockefeller and Vanderbilt families.

Listed for $29,500,000, we’re talking 12 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 4 powder rooms. The second you step inside, you half expect to see Jay Gatsby himself hosting a grand ol’ party.

Carpet? Hardwood floors? Please. In this palace, it’s elegant marble and swanky tile only.

If you love spending your nights getting cozy by the fire, you’ll love this house because it’s got more than just one.

Quebec, as we know it, gets very cold in the winter, but if you own this place, you can just hang out in the glass-covered sunroom and still get your daily dose of Vitamin D.

Whoever staged this place did an exceptional job at making every little detail stand out, including the painted doors that look like they belong in an art museum. Speaking of, the property is located very close to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

The bedrooms are huge, especially if you’ve gotten used to living in a cramped 400-square-foot studio (haven’t we all?). There’s more than enough room to spread out, although the TVs seem to be propped pretty far from the beds.

There’s plenty to do in this massive mansion besides lounging on the couch or sleeping in bed. It’s got a spacious home gym stocked with a rowing machine, weights, and lots of callisthenics gear so you never have to miss a workout.

There is something incredibly regal about the bathrooms; they practically transport you straight to the Palace of Versailles.

If you get bored, why not invite your friends over for scotch, cigars, and a round of poker, perhaps?

In the summer months, you can host a dinner party outdoors as the massive patio can comfortably seat a dozen or so guests.

The backyard is fit for a luscious garden party, too.

A house this expensive, of course, comes with a hefty property tax, and according to the listing, owners are looking to shell out $49,572 a year if they want to live here.

Not too shabby, huh? You can view the complete listing online and pray to the universe that your go-to lottery numbers yield good results soon.
