House Verneuil-sur-Avre (27)

This 18th century residence was for a long time the home of a family of famous chemists and tanners of the region. Its current owners have been able to renovate this property while retaining its original character while providing it with a delicate contemporary touch and modern comfort, distributed in 3 buildings communicating with each other. As soon as the majestic wrought iron gate is pushed, a delightful garden landscaped and shaped with passion, throws in the face a first breath of escape. Entering the property through the main hall, the trompe l'oeil paintings imitating natural stone to perfection, including keystones and false irregularities, catch the visitor's attention and already say a lot about the attention to detail. A living room with marble fireplace and Hungarian point parquet extending into the adjoining dining room, invites you to continue exploring these bright rooms with 3 meters high ceilings. Adorned with period style windows facing due south, the living room opens onto the garden where squirrel and hedgehog rub shoulders, the real mascots of the property. A judiciously placed desk benefits in a row from the same exhibition. In the continuity of the dining room, a kitchen and its back kitchen in cement tiles will be the ideal reference point for simmering small dishes to share with family or friends. The ground floor is completed by direct access to a very beautiful furnished cellar which will complete the appeal of epicureans. On the first floor, 3 large bedrooms (16, 23 and 25 m2; two of them can be combined in a family suite) tastefully decorated continue to spread this feeling of well-being and serenity. Each with an independent bathroom, they use noble materials such as terracotta tiles and pitch pine floors. A 4th bedroom of 24m2 with equally neat toilet completes the first floor. A few flights of steps higher, the second floor gives access to a living room of 17m2 and to 2 magnificent bedrooms of 38 and 43 m2 with independent bathrooms. The project manager was able to take advantage of the high ceilings to highlight the incredible frames, true architectural works of art. Back on the ground floor and communicating on one level with the main building, access to the Orangery is via a large bedroom with bathroom allowing you to live completely independently. This large room (25 m2) opens onto the delightful vegetable garden, a real postcard inspiring the sweetness of life. A natural well will supply water, fruits and vegetables from the garden. The Orangery, like the small adjoining kitchen and dining room, are covered with genuine Burgundy stone with cabochons placed with care and patience by the owner herself. Finally, on the other side of the main house, the old leather store (twice 130m2 on the ground): the ground floor consists of an easily redeveloped 'boutique' space, an independent studio and a boiler room (Brötje boiler with 500 liter tank). The attic floor is bare and clean, ready to be fitted out according to your needs. A covered garage that can accommodate a car completes this exceptional property, a true haven of peace located in the heart of the pleasant town of Verneuil-sur Avre (shops 300 meters away), 1h30 from Paris by car or train (station de Verneuil at 1km) and 2 km from the famous Ecole des Roches. Large family house, bed and breakfast activity, liberal profession, small business, this magnificent residence will lend itself to all uses while constantly exuding this pleasant feeling of living outside of time. Don't we at Espaces Atypiques say that 'the banal is the enemy of the good'?
