House with pool and terrace Saintes (17)
Nestled in a particularly peaceful and sought-after area of Saintes, this architect-designed house from the 1980s offers approximately 240 sq m of living space on a nearly 7,000 sq m wooded plot, a large portion of which is meadow. From the moment you enter, the house's unique architecture is elegantly revealed. The generous proportions, sloping roofs, and high ceilings immediately set the tone. Polished travertine flooring throughout lends the house a warm and timeless atmosphere. A separate office is conveniently located near the entrance, ideal for a professional activity or working from home. Upstairs, an open mezzanine houses a superb custom-built library, a true reading nook. The kitchen and its dining area create a welcoming space. It flows seamlessly into a patio, an inspiring intermediate space that can accommodate overwintering plants, an art studio, or a winter garden, depending on your preferences. A pantry and a cellar complete this functional living area. Continuing the flow of the living spaces, the living room is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the house. Spanning nearly 65 square meters, this spectacular space reveals the property's distinctive architectural style. The impressive ceiling height, accentuated by the sloping roof and wood-paneled ceiling, imbues the room with a warm and unique atmosphere. At the heart of this space stands an elegant fireplace, a true focal point of the living room, structuring the room while enhancing the view to the outdoors. The large, south-facing wooden windows allow abundant light to flood in throughout the day and offer a soothing view of the garden and swimming pool. The travertine flooring extends the harmony of the space and reinforces the timeless character of this reception room. From the living room, the house opens naturally onto the terraces and outdoor spaces, inviting you to fully enjoy the landscaped garden and the recently renovated swimming pool. The house harmoniously separates the living and sleeping areas. The house features three bedrooms, including a comfortable master suite with a dressing room, shower room, and toilet. A separate bathroom serves the two other bedrooms. Outside, the recently renovated 9 x 4 meter heated swimming pool, equipped with an integrated automatic cover, offers an intimate relaxation area. A terrace and barbecue area extend the enjoyment of relaxing moments overlooking the landscaped garden. The grounds open onto a large meadow, while a garden shed and carport complete the outdoor spaces. The house underwent significant renovations between 2023 and 2024: replacement of the windows and doors while preserving the original wood aesthetic with high-performance double glazing, complete renovation of the swimming pool, installation of a heat pump with reversible air conditioning, rewiring, mosquito nets, additional insulation, and a fresh coat of interior paint. A bright and characterful architect-designed house, where spaciousness and nature combine to create a rare living environment on the outskirts of Saintes. ENERGY RATING: C / CLIMATE RATING: B.
