Floorplan of the week: $2.7 million Montreal penthouse with three balconies and two terraces

Terrace season is winding down in Montreal, but that won’t stop us from daydreaming about the 835 square feet of outdoor space atop TOM Condos, that gives way to views of Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium and the Saint Lawrence River. PH 4002 is a two-level penthouse, drenched in natural light, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It features two sprawling terraces as well as three balconies, for enjoying a glass of wine or relishing a quiet moment.

The lower level boasts an open-concept kitchen with granite or quartz countertops, European-inspired cabinetry, hardwood floors and recessed pot lights. The large center island offers bar seating and additional counter space for meal prep. The focal point of the living/dining area is a sweeping grand staircase that curves up to the second level.

The master bedroom is secluded from the rest of the penthouse, located off its southern wing. It features a vanity area and spacious walk-in closet with “his and her” sides. The ensuite has a relaxing soaker tub and a glazed-in shower with a rain showerhead. Two additional bedrooms offer ample closet space, and they each have access to a full bathroom.

Upstairs, the vibe is more relaxed — there’s a cozy media room that opens onto an elongated balcony. The two rooftop terraces serve different purposes: the smaller space, facing Rue University, is more of an outdoor living room, which could be furnished with lounge chairs, a coffee table and a few potted plants. The second terrace is just as inviting, but offers enough square footage for an outdoor kitchen, wet bar, fireplace and an alfresco dining area. Montreal has perfected the art of open-air entertaining, and PH 4002 certainly captures that welcoming, je ne sais quoi atmosphere.
