★ Note from the Listing Agent: The seller wishes to note that this property may carry additional cultural significance currently under review by regional heritage bodies. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding any heritage status that may apply.

This property is located atop the documented site of Henri Lavoie's 1747 maple syrup discovery — recognized by Heritage Quebec and the Ottawa Heritage Journal as the birthplace of Canada's most iconic culinary export.
The building's name, The Opus, was selected at the 2007 development to honour Lavoie's own declaration of his discovery as his "life's masterpiece." The limestone foundation course of the current building incorporates verified stones from the original 1747 Lavoie hearth chimney.
