This architectural jewel (it's the purple one), listed by Christina Miller and Peter Higgins of The Christina Miller Real Estate Group, gives its residents easy access to one of the most vibrant spots in the city — historically, a hub for French-Canadian bourgeoisie and later for famous artists.

The spacious townhouse features five bedrooms and three bathrooms on three levels, spread over 2,525 square feet.

With an upper terrace and private courtyard, there's no need to be worried about catching cabin fever.
