I was looking for a house with character, a real town house, with presence, high ceilings, plenty of light and an exterior generous enough to live outdoors most of the year.

This type of property has become rare.

Behind this discreet facade lies an eighteenthᵉ century mansion entirely redesigned with a demanding contemporary approach, without ever betraying its original identity. Volumes were opened up, circulation flowed, and materials were carefully chosen. The result is elegant, comfortable and immediately habitable.

The real luxury here lies in the balance between entertaining, privacy and everyday life.

The reception areas are a natural extension of the south-facing garden terrace, creating a particularly pleasant indoor/outdoor continuity. This house is as much about living inside as outside.

The property spans around 320 m² and is organized around several universes:

• A vast lounge-library
• A luminous double reception room opening onto the garden
• A large, fully-equipped kitchen designed as a living room
• Four true suites on two levels
• A vaulted basement cinema
• Wine cellar and laundry room

The 180 m² terrace garden is a rare feature for this type of address. Protected and facing south, it becomes a natural extension of the reception rooms.

Upstairs, the suites enjoy a more intimate atmosphere, with unobstructed views, dressing rooms and separate shower rooms.

The vaulted basement adds an extra dimension to the property with a beautiful cinema room, designed as a relaxing space in its own right.

Porch parking and a nearby double garage complete the package – a particularly sought-after convenience for this type of downtown property.

A rare property in terms of its balance: history, volumes, exterior, parking and quality of renovation all in one place.
