Behind its stately facade, in the heart of La Tremblade, just steps from the port and shops, lies an exceptional residence. Built in 1891, this characterful bourgeois villa embodies the architectural elegance of the Belle Époque with distinction, set on a plot of over 1,400 square meters. The original building, comprising approximately 279 square meters, commands attention with its remarkable facade, subtly blending cut stone and brick, enhanced by sumptuous wrought-iron railings--rare examples of exceptional craftsmanship. Beyond the front steps, the entrance reveals a magnificent, light-filled vista, opening onto the garden. Here, every detail tells the story of the place: woodwork patinated by time, delicately sculpted moldings, original parquet flooring, stained-glass windows, and antique doors of noble proportions. The whole creates an atmosphere imbued with authenticity, where original charm converses with timeless elegance. The reception rooms unfold in a series of remarkably harmonious rooms. The main living room, warm and refined, is centered around a ceramic stove, while the adjoining dining room boasts a magnificent fireplace enhanced by its period overmantel. A second, more private living room offers a secluded space, ideal as a ground-floor bedroom, complete with its own bathroom. The eat-in kitchen, a true living space, combines charm and functionality. Its ceramic-tiled fireplace lends it a unique character. It provides access to a vast cellar running under the entire house, including a wine cellar, and opens directly onto the garden. Beyond this, the light-filled conservatory, reminiscent of a winter garden, along with a laundry room and toilet, invites you to savor special moments in every season. Upstairs, an elegant landing leads to four generously sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suite toilets, complemented by a bathroom and a shower room. The top floor offers an additional bedroom and a large, convertible attic, revealing remarkable potential for creating a leisure space, an artist's studio, or an exceptional suite. Renovated with respect for its original character, the house boasts ceilings exceeding three meters high, a high-performance pellet boiler heating system, and cast-iron radiators, ensuring optimal thermal comfort in a warm and inviting atmosphere. A separate, approximately 38 sq m annex, currently used as a creative studio, comprises a living room, a fitted kitchen, a bedroom, and a shower room. A covered area serving as a carport completes the property. A former wine cellar of approximately 77 sq m, housing a workshop, garage, and a second covered area, provides parking for several vehicles and opens the door to numerous development projects, according to the aspirations of its future owners. The landscaped garden, complete with a vegetable patch and ornamental pond, creates a verdant haven. The addition of a swimming pool is a possibility, further enhancing this lifestyle. This prestigious property lends itself equally well to high-end residential use or a refined professional activity, such as a bed and breakfast or charming gîte. Benefiting from a privileged location, this rare residence offers a serene living environment, less than an hour from La Rochelle International Airport and the Île de Ré. Enjoy a private and refined atmosphere, in the immediate vicinity of oyster huts and just 3.5 km from the beaches of Ronce-les-Bains and the majestic Coubre forest.
