EXCLUSIVE LISTING: Abbeville-la-Rivière is a town in southern Essonne, an hour from Paris, near the Loiret department, and easily accessible by road and rail. Nestled in a peaceful, rural setting surrounded by nature, this property comprises two former 19th-century farmhouses. This historic estate consists of two stone buildings separated by a large, secluded courtyard of over 500 sq m, complete with a swimming pool and gardens. The first building includes, on the ground floor, parking for two vehicles, a room of over 50 sq m that could be converted into a self-contained studio, and a storage room, formerly a stable. Upstairs, a large room of approximately 180 sq m with exposed beams offers the potential for hosting receptions or creating a large workshop. The second building is the main residence. Completely renovated, this 300 sq m (3,229 sq ft) home boasts south-facing rooms and large windows overlooking the spacious inner courtyard. From the moment you enter, you're immediately captivated by the charm of the ground floor, which features a large 45 sq m (484 sq ft) kitchen--a true hub for sharing and conviviality--offering ample counter space, including a central island that extends into a dining area. A back kitchen also serves as a laundry room. A separate bathroom completes this space. The dining room, open to the kitchen and the south-facing terrace, is perfect for entertaining. On the other side of the entrance, the living room is truly impressive, with its soaring ceilings of over 8 meters (30 feet), offering glimpses of the upper levels of the house and its exposed solid oak beams. The living room, spanning over 85 square meters, comprises a reception area, a bar area, and a home cinema. The first floor, accessible via a metal and wood staircase, leads to a spacious landing with a play area and a library corner. It includes a guest bedroom, a shower room, a separate toilet, and a master suite of over 35 square meters, consisting of a bedroom, a dressing room, and a bathroom with a whirlpool bath and walk-in shower. The second floor comprises two distinct, independent spaces, each accessible by its own staircase. The first is dedicated to home office work. The second space includes two bedrooms, each over 15 square meters. This unique and authentic property has retained all the charm of period homes (stone walls, solid oak beams, original paving stones in the courtyard, etc.) while incorporating modern elements to offer optimal comfort and excellent energy efficiency.
