On the borders of Champagne and Burgundy, 35 minutes from Troyes, an elegant 19th-century residence and its landscaped garden with a pool. A witness to the profound architectural changes that marked southern Champagne between the Ancien Régime and the 19th century, its half-timbered facade, probably inherited from the 17th century, perpetuates a building style widely spread in the region, while its brick and stone elevation illustrates the modifications made in the following century. It was during this time that Eugène Belgrand, a local boy and future collaborator of Baron Haussmann, participated in the modernization of Paris. Established along a communal road and enclosed by stone walls, the property is located in the historic center. Built on the ancient ramparts, the house is backed by the 16th-century church and its bell tower, whose bright whiteness stands out from afar in the landscapes of the Armance valley. From the street, a metal gate opens onto a courtyard paved with natural stone, framed by the two arms of the main house at right angles, and a dependency facing it. The courtyard extends through a passage between the two buildings, a raised area enhanced with lime trees and a great variety of plants, mainly arranged in landscaped massings of euphorbias. A series of stairs leads to three terraced gardens that unfold below, the last of which includes a pool well integrated into its environment. Built in half-timbering, the residence has three levels above a basement and is topped with a roof of local flat tiles. Its facade features numerous exposed timber framing and wooden joinery that enhance the authentic character of the building. The openings are rectangular, and the recent windows or French doors, with large panes and double glazing, mostly have light blue painted wooden shutters. Adorned and rhythmically shaped by topiaries of various varieties (bay laurel, yews, and hornbeams), the facade overlooking the valley, more classical, is built of bricks and stones. Finally, facing this first building, the second, also habitable, houses a garage and a summer kitchen as well as a bedroom with a shower room. Thus, along with those on the two upper levels of the residence, the property has six bedrooms, as well as four bathrooms and four shower rooms. The ground floor of the main house typically includes the living areas, while the basement is functional, and the attics, convertible, are already partially renovated.
