Vito Rizzuto’s Montreal mansion

The Tudor-style five-bedroom house is situated on the posh neighborhood’s leafy Antoine Berthelet Avenue, which is nicknamed “Mafia Row” by locals. At least four alleged Mafiosos have owned homes on the thoroughfare, including Rizzuto’s brother-in-law, Paulo Renda.

Needless to say, like all good Mafia-connected homes, the sizeable estate has plenty of high-end touches, including numerous luxury chandeliers, quality parquet flooring, sumptuous Persian carpets, antique furniture, and a sweeping staircase in the entrance hall.

Other selling points include a palatial family room, en-suite bathrooms for each of the house’s five bedrooms, two powder rooms, and a state-of-the-art kitchen in tip-top condition with solid mahogany cabinets. The Rizzuto family obviously insisted on the best when it came to kitting out their home.

Rizzuto was released from jail in 2012, and a power struggle for control of the crime family’s operations ensued, resulting in several high-profile murders. The big boss passed away in 2013 from complications related to his lung cancer and the house sold that same year for around $1.1 million.
