Historic property - Centenary park - DowntownAt 20 km from Paris, this remarkable listed historic property is located in the heart of Montgeron, a town that inspired many Impressionists such as Manet and Monet.The architectural ensemble, built between the early 17th and 18th centuries, includes a main house whose façade illustrates the neoclassical refinement of the Directoire style: imposts adorned with bas-reliefs and French windows framed by Doric columns opening onto a stone terrace with monumental sphinxes highlighting the entrance to the park.This elegant residence, which was notably inhabited by the painter Carolus-Duran, is organized around a spacious vestibule and a grand staircase serving three levels, with reception rooms benefiting from unobstructed views of the park.The interior has preserved superb original decorative elements: woodwork and moldings, painted decorations, fireplaces, a stone staircase with cabochons and a wrought iron railing, and an old Italian-inspired faïence floor.The property is complemented by an adjoining Regency-era house, two Henri IV-era pavilions marking the entrance, as well as several outbuildings.The residence is set within a vast English-style park, composed of ancient trees of various species, adorned with a pond, a rockery-style grotto, a pavilion, and numerous ornamental features — statues, vases, and stone benches — creating beautiful perspectives.The total living area is approximately 740 m².Access: 20 minutes from Paris – Gare de Lyon (RER D).This description has been automatically translated from French.
