SAINT-JULIEN-LES-VILLAS (AUBE) — 18th CENTURY RESIDENCE - 665m² LIVING SPACE - HEATED SWIMMING POOL - TENNIS Aurélie de l'Espinay, Efficity, presents this exceptional residence, nestled in the heart of Saint-Julien-les-Villas and less than 10 minutes from the historic center of Troyes. Built in 1760 by the architect Jacques Antoine Eustache, this residence stands out for the purity of its architecture from the Ancien Régime and the remarkable continuity of its maintenance. Its 48m² hall leads to four adjoining lounges opening onto a historic park - once frequented by Voltaire, La Fontaine, and Fontenelle. From the ground floor to the upper floor, each room has preserved all of its original features: perfectly maintained old parquet floors, functional fireplaces, wood paneling, beautiful carved wooden doors, large volumes, and high ceilings that give the whole a rarely preserved charm. Spread over 655m² of living space, this magnificent residence consists of thirteen reception and living rooms, including a very large kitchen and pantry, a laundry room, nine bedrooms (two with their own bathrooms), a bathroom, three shower rooms, and four toilets. On the 9,545m² of land, the park, perfectly secluded and private, houses a heated swimming pool and a tennis court. The Seine discreetly borders the eastern part of the estate, inviting walks, canoeing, and fishing through the seasons. The entire heating system was completely renewed in 2024, allowing for immediate occupancy without the need for work. A wood stove is available in the ''small lounge'' and a functional fireplace in the ''Grand Salon''. A spacious and healthy cellar, as well as an attic with a magnificent frame, complete this property. An annex house, to be renovated and adapted for the desired use (professional or independent housing), completes the estate. Located six minutes from the historic center of Troyes, the property benefits from comprehensive urban services - Troyes train station is 10 minutes away, several transport lines (31, 11, 28, 3, 33), schools within walking distance, local shops - without compromising the tranquility of the place. A rare balance between heritage anchoring and contemporary comfort. Roof inspected in 2026. Well-maintained and enclosed park. Alarm system and video surveillance. A magnificent, perfectly maintained residence in a wooded park and in close proximity to Troyes, the lakes of the Foret d'Orient, three prestigious golf courses, the Champagne region, and 1.30 hours from Paris via the A5. Many cycling paths depart from Saint-Julien-les-Villas. A must-see.
