To live in this location is to truly benefit from the riches of the Ste Anne. The moment you walk into this old house you will be transported to an enchanted place, a home filled to the brim with curiosities collected, created and curated with imagination and appreciation of the beauty in all things. The whimsical treasures adorning the walls coincidentally serve to embrace the history of this old Gardenvale neighbourhood, a community of worker homes commissioned by James Harpell, the founder of Ste Anne De Bellevue's Garden City Press in 1918. Harpell wanted his employees to live in clean, healthy and beautiful surroundings with access to nature, and so had 25-35 homes built surrounding the original Press situated at 1 Pacific Avenue, now the Harpell community Centre. Built in 1920, 225 rue Ste Anne possesses all the charm of that era with its simple yet solid design, while its delightful front and back gardens offer natural beauty and romance to its residents, creating exactly the idyllic environment a visionary community founder once imagined. There are updates and repairs needed as one might expect of a 100-year old house, but regardless of how one chooses to restore or decorate it, owning a house like this makes one a proud preserver of Canadian history.
