18TH-CENTURY HOUSE IN MONTBÉLIARD Just a short walk from Montbéliard's historic center, this historic local landmark offers a unique living experience, blending architectural heritage with the tranquility of nature. Behind its stone façade, the house offers nearly 320 m² of space organized around a spacious main duplex, several independent areas, and a studio that opens widely onto the garden and the Allan River. Eighteenth-century hardwood floors, a wrought-iron staircase, exposed brick walls, and a mezzanine create an artistic and lived-in atmosphere. The layout allows for various uses: a family home, a living space with a private practice, or an investment property combining residence and rental income. A HOME FILLED WITH LIGHT AND MATERIALS A former iconic restaurant reinvented by an architect in the early 2000s, the property retains the soul of the old buildings while making room for contemporary uses. From the moment you enter, the materials tell the story of the place: weathered wood, wrought ironwork, old bricks, exposed beams, and varying floor levels naturally guide the flow of the interior. The main duplex occupies the upper floors of the house. The living room, featuring old solid hardwood floors, opens onto a mezzanine lined with exposed brick. Further on, the separate kitchen and dining room extend this feeling of an urban family home. The master suite, set back from the main living area, features its own bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The spaces suggest several ways to live here: an office, an extra bedroom, a library, or an inspiring workspace. A GARDEN BY THE WATER IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN At the rear, the house takes on a different rhythm. The glass-roofed studio on the garden level opens directly onto the outdoors and the banks of the Allan. This bright space evokes as much an artist's studio as a future reception area, a separate office, or a summer kitchen facing the garden. The 531 m² wooded lot discreetly accompanies the house all the way to the water. The presence of nature, rare in this central area of Montbéliard, creates a particularly sought-after contrast: living in the city while maintaining a constant connection with nature and water. The stone terrace naturally extends the living spaces on sunny days, in an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. A PROPERTY TO LIVE IN, PASS ON, OR REIMAGINE The property also includes two independent furnished apartments as well as an attic studio. These spaces allow for flexible use, whether for supplemental income, hosting family, or professional activities. One duplex apartment is currently rented, while a second unit offers the opportunity to be updated to suit the future owner's preferences. The cellars, ancillary spaces, and the former warehouse facing the street all contribute to the property's vast potential for development. Located in close proximity to shops, schools, and quick access to Belfort, Mulhouse, or Switzerland, this home appeals equally to heritage enthusiasts and those seeking a hybrid, vibrant, and inspiring space. AGENCY REVIEW This property possesses a rare identity in Montbéliard: that of an old house imbued with a distinct architectural character, open to nature, and designed to accommodate diverse lifestyles. Its direct connection to the Allan River, its adaptable spaces, and its artistic atmosphere combine to create a truly unique setting.
