Built in 1930, the house has the character of a heritage property and the foundations for your project. On the main floor, the kitchen and dining area form one large room, with a long run of cabinets and space for a table for six. The living room, with its hardwood floors and wood stove set in a brick hearth, stretches to the window and leaves plenty of room to imagine your layout. A bathroom completes the main floor. The upstairs bedrooms benefit from the volume of the gambrel roof, and the third, with its built-in shelves and desk, also works perfectly as a home office. Upstairs, the second bathroom features a corner whirlpool tub. The garage, attached to the house, is accessed from outside. No choices already made by someone else here: every room gives you the freedom to create a home that reflects you, and to add your own value.

The lot of nearly 10,000 sq. ft. is as much a part of the project as the house. The long gravel driveway, the cedar hedge framing the yard and the stone chimney give the property a character rarely found in newer developments. The property is served by municipal water and a septic system.

The advantages of living in L'Assomption

Domaine-Astral opens onto Route 344 (rang du Bas-de-L'Assomption Nord), in a town where history is still part of daily life. The old town centre, with its church, 18th-century presbytery and the Collège de L'Assomption, offers cafés, restaurants and the Théâtre Hector-Charland, with shows, comedy and theatre all year long.

The L'Assomption River runs through town: kayaking, fishing and riverside walks are part of life here. Parc Léo-Jacques, bike paths, trails and two golf clubs (Le Portage and Centre de golf de Lanaudière) round things out for those who like to stay active.

For families, the town has elementary schools, École secondaire Paul-Arseneau, the private Collège de L'Assomption and a campus of the Cégep régional de Lanaudière, so students can complete their entire schooling without leaving town.

Getting around, Routes 343 and 344 lead quickly to Highway 40, connecting to Repentigny and Montreal one way, Joliette and Trois-Rivières the other. Highway 25 provides access to Terrebonne and Laval. Repentigny's major stores are minutes away, as is the Repentigny train station (exo Mascouche line) for those who prefer the train downtown. Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur, in Terrebonne, serves the area.
