Property summary
Between the quays of the Loire and the historic heart of old Tours, this building of character is the result of the union of two historic houses, merged around a central glass roof and its typical solid wood staircase. Completely unsuspected from the outside, the house is discovered in the calm of a small quiet street, and offers 270m2 where everyone will find his privacy.
Encircling its paved courtyard of 70m2, the entrance of the building reveals a renovated dining room ideal for receiving a large family or a group of friends, with its fireplace of the most beautiful effect, opening on the fitted and equipped kitchen. Large openings let appear on one side its historical courtyard, and on the other its garden of 100m2, planted with trees and flowers in good weather, inviting to privileged moments in the heart of the city center, while remaining far from the tumult of the local life. A covered courtyard and its barbecue complete this rare island of preserved greenery.
Built as the heart of the house, the solid wood staircase, traditionally outside of this type of dwelling in the neighborhood, is revealed thanks to an impressive vertical glass roof that completely integrates it into the building and allows it to connect two bourgeois buildings, initially adjacent. This monumental glass roof connects the dining room - kitchen to the main living room. With its remarkable height under ceiling, its beams and its convivial open fireplace, this living room definitively inscribes this house as a place of life out of the common and resolutely family.
On a half level, a first elegant bedroom overlooking the garden, currently used as an office, takes up the codes of the whole, with a stone wall on one side, an ornamental fireplace and elegant light beams. Cleverly furnished with a modern library, this room will delight telecommuting enthusiasts.
The second floor unveils a luminous master suite, overlooking the courtyard, with a glimpse of the cachet of its moldings, its stone fireplace as well as its independent dressing room and its full bathroom. A third generous bedroom on a half level also benefits from the comfort of its own independent shower room and the traditional facings of the bourgeois house, the headboard being fitted into the elegant old fireplace in bleached stone and adorned with brick.
The last level offers the comfort of a real independent duplex, a large studio with a kitchenette, a large living room and its bedroom under the roof. A last independent renovated bedroom completes the set with its bathroom/laundry space.A real opportunity and a rarity in the area, an independent garage allows to park up to three vehicles, directly overlooking the garden, and a workshop to be renovated on two levels awaits the creative impulse of its next owners. A set of remarkable vaulted cellars (about 60 m2) directly accessible by stairs from the house complete this rare property of character, between garden and secret courtyard.
A singular family house a few steps away from the famous schools of the area, close to shops and amenities, the Halles and its market and only 10 minutes walk from the Tours train station.
