A fully restored 1920s villa with a studio apartment and swimming pool in the 9th arrondissement of Marseille, nestled beside the beautiful Calanques national park. The property has three built sections. There is a villa, which has a ground floor, a first floor, a conservatory and an adjoining garage and offers a liveable floor area of around 260m² with four bedrooms. And there are two annexes covering 40m²: a studio apartment and an office. These buildings demarcate a patio sheltered from wind at the foot of the villa’s south-west elevation. A large swimming pool bathed in sun all day takes up a considerable section of the garden, in the plot’s north-east corner. A stone terrace edges it and a summer kitchen stands beside it. Apart from the paved and gravelled areas for meals and relaxation, vegetation takes up most of the remaining outdoor space, which is dotted with shrubs, trees and Mediterranean plants. On the roof there is a flat area that forms a roof terrace. The rest of the roof is made up of sections with two, three or four slopes with traditional barrel tiles. The roofing bears witness to the revamp carried out on the villa in the 1950s. The facade is plain, pale and rendered. It is punctuated with rectangular and arched windows with small panes, fitted with shutters that are painted green. French windows lead outside. The green hue of the shutters gently contrasts with the pale elevations and terracotta tone of the roof tiles.
