luxury apartment / penthouse with reception room for sale Marseille 1ˢᵗ, France

Behind a discreet facade on Boulevard de la Liberté hides a unique place, a witness to an era when Marseille's architecture expressed its generosity. With nearly 246 m² of private space, this ensemble occupies a large part of a floor of a character building and reveals, throughout the rooms, a unique atmosphere where the old volumes dialogue with a contemporary way of living. From the entrance, the high ceilings, moldings, marble fireplaces, plasterwork, old parquet flooring, tiles, and original doors evoke the refinement of bourgeois Marseille apartments from the late 19th century. The reception areas flow seamlessly into one another. A spacious reception lounge with remarkable ceilings, enhanced by a fireplace and marquetry flooring, forms the heart of the place. Numerous openings bring soft light throughout the day and naturally extend the perspectives to the outside. The ensemble today offers several independent living spaces allowing for many configurations. Several bedrooms, three kitchens, shower rooms, and ancillary spaces provide a rare freedom of layout, suitable for both a large family residence and a heritage project or mixed-use activity. Sheltered from prying eyes, the terrace of approximately 60 m² appears as an unexpected privilege in the heart of the city. A true open-air living space, it hosts long summer tables and extends the interior spaces in a confidential atmosphere. The presence of several access points and the modularity of the places also allow for different occupancy scenarios: primary residence, family gathering, liberal activity, or a high-value heritage investment project. Just a few minutes from Saint-Charles station, the Vieux-Port, and the iconic addresses of the city center, this atypical property combines historical charm, rare volumes, and remarkable potential. A place filled with history and character, intended for lovers of spaces unlike any other.
