The dwelling was built in 1905. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is crowned with a steeply sloped slate roof punctuated with dormers. Its elevations are made of local ashlar limestone. Redbrick stringcourses run across them. Other decorative features evoke the elegance of upper-middle-class architecture from the belle époque period. The tall windows have wrought-iron guardrails. On either side of the roof, a red-brick chimney stack rises up, adding balance to the vertical shape of the house, which stands out for its symmetry and high-quality materials. Facing the street, the main entrance door stands beneath a wrought-iron canopy. It leads out into a small garden with trees, enclosed with walls and wrought-iron fencing. At the back, a paved court takes you to a cosier outdoor nook, which is ideal for meals and relaxation in absolute privacy.

The house

The elegant dwelling with a 300m² floor area was built in 1905. It lies only 30 kilometres from Paris and embodies the refinement of the belle époque.

The ground floor
The entrance door leads to a series of connecting reception rooms with marble flooring. They are bathed in natural light. There is a triple-size living room with an 80m² floor area, a fireplace and a bar corner. It is spacious and welcoming. The fitted kitchen has a door that leads outside. A large walk-in wardrobe and a guest lavatory with a washbasin complete this floor.

The first floor
A wooden staircase leads up to the first floor. Wood strip flooring extends across the whole of this level. A landing connects to four bedrooms, including a spacious bedroom with a 20m² floor area. The latter room is bright and fitted with large storage spaces. Two of the other bedrooms are comfortably sized. The fourth one, which is smaller, is shaded by a tree in the garden and has a kept a hushed atmosphere. There are two shower rooms with a lavatory on this level. One of them has oriental decor and, with its alcove shower, recalls Moorish-style steam rooms.

The top floor
The top floor has sloping attic ceilings. It offers two extra bedrooms. One of these bedrooms is vast, with a 30m² floor area. It is filled with natural light and takes up the whole width of the facade. The other bedroom is more modestly sized and leads out onto a small balcony. An atypical bathroom, fitted with a hot tub, adjoins a corridor with many storage spaces. This space was originally designed for a steam room to be created here. Old wood-strip flooring extends across the whole level.

The garden-level floor
The garden-level floor can be reached both from inside and from the court. It houses additional rooms: an office, a shower room with a lavatory, a fitness room, a secondary kitchen, a boiler room and large storage spaces. Two garages, a workshop and a wine cellar complete this level.
