Montreal's Famous Roller Coaster House Is For Sale & You Can Peek Inside (PHOTOS)
The roller coaster house, listed by luxury brokers Ann Malka, Jade Sequerra and Tevin Crooks (Profusion Immobilier | Christie's International Real Estate), sits on a 9,270-square-foot lot.
When you enter, you first notice the high ceilings and original late '70s architecture, as the house was built in 1976.
The next thing you notice — visible through a glass wall on multiple floors of the home — is the 34-foot indoor pool, surrounded by 24-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the backyard.
The pool area even has its own circular bar and sitting space.
"Across the hall, the glassed-in living room offers a large entertaining area, a dining room and a beautiful traditional kitchen with balcony overlooking the garden," the listing explains.
There are six bedrooms, five bathrooms and one powder room. Whoever gets the master bedroom actually gets a whole floor to themselves with what the listing describes as "private quarters." The remaining bedrooms are on the garden level plus one in the basement.
While there is no actual roller coaster in the home, bonus features include a wood fireplace, two-car garage and jacuzzi bathtub.
So, is it exactly how you pictured it?

Élisabeth Rioux Shared A Peek Of Her New Home In Quebec
Until now, she has offered glimpses of her search for a new property with her followers. Narcity and MTL Blog confirmed that she visited this $1.2 million modern cottage-style house in Saint-Sauveur after a photo of a sitting room appeared in her Instagram story.
But, according to Narcity Québec, Rioux and Christo ultimately settled on a home in Blainville, five minutes from a warehouse used by Hoaka, Rioux's swimwear company. She announced in the December 7 video that they had closed on the property and were in the process of conducting inspections.
She said that, given the red hot Montreal real estate market, they had to offer $200,000 over the asking price.
Despite the hefty price tag, Rioux said she's happy with the home — even if the couple does foresee extensive renovations.
"Our new house is so pretty, but there's still renovations that I want to do inside," she said in the video. Christo added at the end of the vlog that he plans to "completely renovate" the house.
Rioux's brief preview shows what looks like the new home's great room, an open living, kitchen and dining space with high, coffered ceilings, arched windows and a generous supply of bulky mouldings.
Rioux and Christo concluded by inviting viewers to follow along on their journey moving into and renovating their new home.
