Bettencourt Manor has an absolutely beautiful showroom, complete with high quality furniture pieces that you can build your living spaces around, as well as all sorts of interesting finds that will make your home a unique space that represents your tastes.
The showroom hosts a selection of their furniture, but they have much more to offer online. Owned and run by Rick and Matthew Bettencourt, they can help you select the perfect sofa without trying it. They’ll recommend other sofas with similar levels of firmness and help you to understand the measurements, so you get something that’s comfortable for you and your family. They’ve successfully purchased a sofa for their own home this way, and see it as a trend that younger generations are comfortable with already, but it can really work well for anyone.
The art pieces and books are largely vintage, and if you don’t already, you’ll want to take up collecting coffee table books. They have some really interesting and beautiful ones.
Bettencourt Manor relocated to Leslieville during the pandemic and helped people set up their homes at a time when we spent most of our time there. The owners’ attention to detail and excellent taste will let you set up a home that feels like your own with definite flair.
Located at 1097 Queen E, Haystack can help you get some of their fantastic finds even if you can’t make it into the store. While we can’t deliver large items like furniture, we are running a special delivery service over the holidays on non-oversized items! See the details on our website.

Local results you can trust: Unlike search engines or AI tools that guess, Haystack quickly surfaces products that are actually sold by independently owned stores near you.
Verified independent shops only: We personally vet every business, so you never have to wonder who owns the store—you know your dollars are staying in the local community.
