Property Snoop: What $300,000 buys across Canada this week

1. A cut-stone home with attached retail space

Property Snoop: What $300,000 buys across Canada this week The home is set close to the restored waterfront in Pictou, Nova Scotia.

Address: 13 Water St.
Where: Pictou, Nova Scotia Price: $300,000 Specs: 3 bedrooms, 2 bath If you’ve ever dreamed of selling your urban condo and shifting gears to a slower pace, then this is your ticket. You not only get a 195-year-old, 1,800-square-foot stone home with an airy loft vibe, you get an extra 850 square feet of charming, street-front retail space where you can sell those homemade pies, tea cozies or whatever craft rings your bell.

2. A palatial property east of Montreal

What $300,000 buys across Canada mansion Quebec The house retains its period charm with wainscoting, beautiful millwork and many chandeliers.

Address: 160 Rue St. Louis
Where: Warwick, Quebec Price: $300,000 Specs: 8 bedrooms, 5 baths, 7 half-baths You don’t get to use the term “powder room” much anymore, but you’ll be using it plenty if you buy this sprawling 1918 mansion located east of Montreal — it has seven of them. It’s got all the period majesty — wainscoting, pillars, wood paneling, a huge 20,000-square-foot lot — that you’d expect from a grand 6,300-square-foot residence, but it costs about the same as a studio condo in most cities.

3. A corner-unit townhouse in Calgary

Address: 358 McKenzie Towne Gate SE
Where: Calgary, AB Price: $300,000 Specs: 2 bedrooms, 2 bath South of downtown, the neighbourhood of McKenzie Towne was designed to be a throwback to communities of old where you knew your neighbours and shared potluck dinners every weekend. But inside this 1,064 square-foot end-unit townhouse, you’ll find all the creature comforts of today: heated floors, stainless steel appliances and a sprawling master bedroom.
