Latest Home & Garden
In a picture taken of Pierre Trudeau and US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, it's possible to see the simplistic decor of the property, showing exposed limestone walls, simple furniture, and bold wall hangings. When assessments were made to price up potential refurbishments, it was reported that among many other concerns, the 50-year-old electrical system was at capacity and the kitchen and laundry room were deemed "not functional." Justin Trudeau's mother, Margaret, has said that 24 Sussex was "a residence, never our home" and called it "drafty." With the $10 million price tag attached to required renovations, it seems that Trudeau and his family will be at Rideau Cottage for the foreseeable future.
