The lot backs onto a large field, with no neighbours at the back. It's open and lined with woods. The above-ground pool has its own deck (the liner will need replacing). There is also a gazebo, a vegetable garden in raised beds and a chicken coop.

Inside, most of the house is on the main floor. From the entry, the slate floor and wood wainscoting set the tone, and engineered wood carries through most of the other rooms. Then come the kitchen, with its wood cabinets and breakfast bar, the dining room and the living room, where windows on two sides look out on the trees. The family room, with its door to the outside and the garage, works well as an office, a playroom or a TV room. The bathroom, refreshed in 2024, has a tub and shower, and the laundry room is on the same level.

The main floor also has three bedrooms. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom has the floor to itself, set apart from the rest of the house.

A shed sits behind the garage. Practical details: blown-in insulation in the attic, an artesian well shared with two other properties under a servitude, and a septic system.

Built in 2008, the house is in Newport, on Route 212, in the countryside of the Haut-Saint-François.
