luxury apartments / penthouses with terrace for sale Franche Comté, France

BETWEEN RIVER, SKY, AND EARTH Perched on the top floor of a contemporary residential building, this exceptional, fully air-conditioned rooftop apartment offers a rare living environment in the heart of Besançon. Spanning 140 m², the rooms are arranged around a remarkable master suite?a true hotel-style suite in terms of its spaciousness and amenities?which opens onto its own balcony. A terrace and a second balcony open up the other living areas to a completely unobstructed panoramic view. With no buildings directly across, natural light floods in generously while privacy remains complete. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the finishes attest to a particularly well-executed design. A REFINED SETTING WITH AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Designed in collaboration with an architect, the apartment reveals an interior where every detail contributes to the atmosphere of the space. The spacious layout and large windows create a constant interplay with light and the landscape. In the living areas, the oiled smoked oak parquet laid in a herringbone pattern adds depth and warmth. The living room is centered around a generously sized fireplace insert, while the sound system, home theater setup, lighting, and automated windows are discreetly integrated. The master suite is one of the apartment's signature features. Designed like a true hotel suite, it combines a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, a relaxation area with a Physiotherm infrared sauna, and a large balcony. Its bathroom features a whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower, all within an intimate setting entirely dedicated to well-being. The kitchen and pantry continue this high standard with their matte black lacquered cabinetry, glossy white countertops, and high-end appliances. The creation of an additional bedroom can be considered. AN OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE The outdoor spaces naturally extend the apartment. The main terrace opens wide onto the Doubs River and Besançon. From this commanding vantage point, the view is completely unobstructed, with no neighboring buildings to interrupt the line of sight. Its awning allows you to enjoy it to the fullest on sunny days. Two balconies complete the space, one of which directly extends from the master suite. The river, the Citadel, the rooftops, and the hills of Besançon create a landscape that shifts with the hours and seasons, with the city right at your doorstep. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BESANÇON Situated on the banks of the Doubs River, this recently built residence enjoys a prime location, right next to downtown while retaining a peaceful atmosphere. Shops, restaurants, schools, services, and cultural amenities are all within easy reach. The banks of the Doubs, the Chamars promenade, and the nearby green spaces provide a breath of fresh air in everyday life. Excellent thermal and sound insulation, combined with full air conditioning, ensures remarkable comfort in every season. Secure access preserves residents' privacy. Finally, the presence of four garages is a particularly rare asset for such a central location. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE What strikes me most here is the location. The tranquility, the lack of direct neighbors, and the completely unobstructed view go hand in hand with true comfort of living: everything is within walking distance. Even with comparable amenities, the same apartment located on the other side of Besançon wouldn't hold the same value in my eyes. I'm also very appreciative of the quality of the finishes and the harmony of the interior design. Here, the materials, color schemes, and details reflect an exceptional standard of craftsmanship. The comfort is equally remarkable. The elevator opens directly into the apartment, and the home automation system allows you to control the heating, air conditioning, alarm, lighting, blinds, and doors. The layout and use of space have also been designed to facilitate movement throughout the apartment while preserving privacy. It is this combination of location, design quality, and the level of finish that, for me, truly sets this apartment apart. Mathieu Ardenghi Condominiums of 198 units (No proceedings in progress).

DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together. A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues. Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas. THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape. Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city. A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex. The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. AGENCY'S OPINION This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole. The signatures of designers and craftsmen, the use of materials and the relationship with the outdoors create a lived-in, precise and unique space. The terraces extend this connection with the city.
