Just 25 kilometers from Paris, in the heart of the Chevreuse Valley Regional Natural Park, this discreet architect-designed property, built in 1996, embodies a unique vision of the art of living. A subtle blend of stone, wood, and glass, it sits within a protected environment, in close proximity to the Saclay Plateau, shops, and the RER B train station. Overlooking a landscaped plot of more than 2,000 sqm, sheltered from any visual disturbances, the house offers approximately 230 sqm of living space in an atypical architectural composition, conceived as two distinct volumes. From the moment you enter, the tone is set: a generous hall, enhanced by a stone rose window and a skylight, establishes an elegant and calming atmosphere. The materials interact subtly, the lines are refined, and the perspectives are carefully orchestrated. The reception room, the true signature of the property, rises beneath a spectacular 57 sqm cathedral ceiling. Its timber frame, inspired by the inverted hull of a ship, lends the space a rare sculptural dimension. Bathed in light thanks to large south and west-facing windows, the living room opens harmoniously onto the terraces and garden. A wood-burning stove, positioned as a focal point, structures this living space with its remarkable proportions. The kitchen, entirely custom-made, combines aesthetics and functionality in a resolutely contemporary style. Open-plan and bright, it serves as a welcoming space in its own right. The upper floor, accessible by a striking staircase or by elevator, houses two suites. The master suite, facing southwest, impresses with its spaciousness, exposed beams, and direct access to a private terrace overlooking the garden. It features a dressing room and a full bathroom. The second suite, equally comfortable, also benefits from its own south-facing terrace, a shower room, and a toilet. On the top floor, an intimate living room under the eaves, bathed in natural light, offers a private space, ideal for an office, a boudoir, or a reading nook. The ancillary spaces--laundry room, cellar, storage--have been designed with the same attention to detail and functionality. This rare property combines distinctive architecture, generous proportions, and an exceptional setting, offering a living environment that is both elegant and serene. It is located in close proximity to renowned schools and the academic hubs of Paris-Saclay, as well as shops and the RER B commuter rail line. Energy rating: D (246) - Climate rating: D (36).
