Welcome to 1788, rang Saint-Albert, in Saint-Thomas! 
The long driveway lined with mature trees sets the tone before you reach the door. The house, a light-clad country classic, sits in the middle of farm fields, and its covered porch runs the full width of the front. 
The living room has generous windows that bring in light all day. The adjoining dining room, with its hardwood floor and stone wall, opens onto the staircase leading upstairs. 
The kitchen, in wood cabinetry, offers an island with seating, a ceramic backsplash and a window over the sink. 
Upstairs, three bedrooms sit under the eaves, with wood floors and dormer windows. An open landing with a wood railing serves the floor. There is a bathroom on each level, and one of them has a podium tub. 
The basement is fully finished: family room, two more bedrooms, a renovated bathroom with glass shower, and a laundry room with storage. A wood stove installed in 2020 provides backup heat, using about two cords a year. 
Outside, the heated above-ground pool is paired with a gazebo, and a wood shed completes the grounds. The lot is flat, over 32,000 sq. ft., and the driveway holds five cars. 
Water comes from a sand point well, and the main heating is electric baseboards. 
Joliette is about ten minutes away.
