Cumpărare: Casă (78510)

An elegant early-20th-century house with a 500m² floor area and 3,800m² of lush grounds, nestled in France's Yvelines department, 40 minutes from La Défense business district. The property lies at the edge of the village. It is hidden behind a tall stone wall and includes two burrstone houses. One of them, a caretaker's house, stands by the entrance to the property near the road. The other one, the main house, stands lower down and you reach it via a sloping driveway that runs around the dwelling. Several vehicles can be parked on this drive. A vast garden with a tennis court extends between the main edifice and the bank of the River Seine. The main house has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. A basement extends beneath the whole building, which has been structured into three self-contained dwellings: one on the ground floor, one of the first floor and one on the second floor. The edifice's burrstone elevations are punctuated with tall windows with wrought-iron guardrails. A roof of flat tiles crowns the building. There are two majestic entrance doors, which are glazed and stand beneath arched fanlights, in the facade and the rear elevation. The main door is set back within a covered entrance area decorated with a frieze of sculpted antique motifs. The other door, which is beneath a balcony, is hidden among a luxuriant Virginia creeper that grows vigorously up the garden-side elevation. Inside, there is a total liveable floor area of around 500m², spread over 17 rooms, including 10 bedrooms. This second floor has a terrace with a 70m² floor area. On each floor, old decorative features have been preserved: mouldings, wooden panelling, fireplaces, parquet and stairs have kept their historical charm. In the kitchen, there is beautiful Delftware. And in the bedrooms, there are fireplaces, doors and cupboards made of old woodwork. The caretaker's house has a ground floor, a first floor and a converted loft, as well as a basement, which is a garden-level floor at the back. The garden covers around 3,500m².
