CHARTRONS – EXCEPTIONAL APARTMENT WITH VIEWS OF THE GARONNE AND PRIVATE TERRACE In the heart of Les Chartrons, Bordeaux's most iconic and desirable riverside neighbourhood, Bordeaux Sotheby's International Realty is delighted to present an exceptional apartment that perfectly captures the essence of elegant Bordeaux living. Combining the timeless beauty of historic architecture with the comfort of a meticulously executed contemporary renovation, this remarkable residence offers a lifestyle defined by light, space and spectacular views over the Garonne River. Occupying the second floor of a handsome nineteenth-century stone building within an impeccably maintained period residence, this distinguished property offers approximately 178 sqm of living space (206 sqm in total floor area). From the very first moments, it becomes clear that this is a home unlike any other. South-facing and flooded with natural light, every principal room enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the river, creating a unique dialogue between the apartment and one of Bordeaux's most beautiful landscapes. The constantly changing reflections on the water become an integral part of everyday life. From sunrise to sunset, the apartment enjoys exceptional brightness throughout the day, while the uninterrupted views over the historic quays provide a remarkable feeling of openness rarely experienced in the heart of the city. The entrance immediately sets the tone, revealing beautifully proportioned interiors where authenticity and refinement blend seamlessly. High ceilings, magnificent wide-plank hardwood floors, elegant period features and carefully restored architectural details reflect the grandeur of classic Bordeaux residences. Throughout the apartment, the renovation has been undertaken with remarkable sensitivity, preserving the soul of the property while introducing every element of contemporary comfort. The reception rooms form the true centrepiece of the home. The magnificent living room is organised around an elegant fireplace that naturally becomes its focal point. Generous in scale yet wonderfully intimate, this impressive space has been designed equally for sophisticated entertaining and relaxed everyday living. Large windows flood the room with sunlight while framing spectacular views across the Garonne, creating an atmosphere of serenity and understated luxury. Flowing naturally from the living room, the dining area enjoys the same exceptional natural light and uninterrupted river views. Beautifully connected to the reception spaces while retaining its own identity, it provides an elegant setting for formal dinners, family celebrations or quiet evenings overlooking the historic waterfront. The fully equipped kitchen reflects the same attention to detail found throughout the residence. Contemporary glass partitions subtly define the various living spaces while preserving transparency and allowing natural light to circulate freely. Premium materials, bespoke cabinetry and high-end appliances combine to create a space that is as functional as it is visually refined, perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. The private accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide comfort, tranquillity and flexibility. The elegant principal suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a beautifully appointed bathroom and generous built-in storage. Carefully designed to maximise privacy, it combines refined finishes with timeless elegance, creating an atmosphere worthy of a luxury boutique hotel. Two further bedrooms, both generous in size and filled with natural light, share an elegant contemporary shower room. Their thoughtful layout makes the apartment perfectly suited to family life while equally accommodating guests in complete comfort. Occupying the upper level, a fourth bedroom benefits from independent air conditioning and its own private bathroom, offering exceptional versatility. Whether used as guest accommodation, a home office, a library, a media room or an additional principal suite, this private level enhances both the functionality and desirability of the property. One of the apartment's most exceptional features is undoubtedly its magnificent private terrace of approximately 16 sqm. A genuine rarity within Bordeaux's historic centre, this secluded outdoor space offers complete privacy while serving as a natural extension of the reception rooms. Hidden from view, it provides an idyllic setting for morning coffee, al fresco lunches, evening cocktails or intimate dinners beneath the Bordeaux sky. Peaceful and discreet, it offers an extraordinary sense of tranquillity only moments from the vibrant energy of the riverfront. Throughout the renovation, exceptional care has been devoted to preserving the property's architectural heritage.
