Set within immediate proximity to some of Bordeaux’s most renowned schools, local shops and the historic city centre, this elegant property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial town residence combining the charm of nineteenth-century architecture with the flexibility required for modern family living. Behind its refined traditional façade, this impressive home offers approximately 430 sqm of living space and benefits from an exceptional configuration allowing for a wide variety of projects. Whether envisioned as a prestigious family residence, a multi-generational home, a professional practice, a guest house or a unique investment opportunity, the property provides extraordinary possibilities for transformation and personalisation. From the moment of arrival, the timeless elegance of this Bordeaux townhouse is immediately apparent. The entrance opens onto generous volumes and a beautifully balanced layout, characteristic of the grand bourgeois residences of the city. High ceilings, elegant proportions and abundant natural light create an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort throughout the home. The original architectural features have been carefully preserved and contribute significantly to the identity of the property. Period fireplaces, decorative mouldings, colourful stained-glass windows, traditional flooring and refined details reflect the history and authenticity of the residence, offering future owners the opportunity to restore and enhance an exceptional architectural heritage. The reception areas form the true heart of the home. Arranged in a beautiful sequence of adjoining rooms, they offer a wonderful sense of flow and perspective. The generous proportions allow for the creation of several distinct living environments: formal entertaining spaces, a welcoming family lounge, a library, a private office or a combination of elegant reception rooms adapted to the lifestyle of its future occupants. The natural light that fills these spaces throughout the day is one of the property’s most remarkable qualities. Thanks to its multiple orientations and its carefully designed layout, the residence enjoys a rare sense of openness and brightness, creating a particularly pleasant atmosphere in every season. The reception rooms provide an exceptional setting for both everyday family life and sophisticated entertaining. The preserved period details blend beautifully with the generous volumes, creating a refined yet welcoming environment where the elegance of the past can be reinterpreted according to contemporary expectations. One of the major assets of this property is undoubtedly its magnificent private garden of approximately 355 sqm. A rare privilege in the heart of Bordeaux, this beautifully planted outdoor space offers complete privacy and tranquillity, sheltered from outside views. A true green sanctuary within the city, it provides an exceptional extension of the living areas and creates a unique indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The garden offers numerous possibilities: outdoor dining, family gatherings, landscaped relaxation areas, a private playground or simply a peaceful retreat away from the rhythm of the city. Mature vegetation and the feeling of seclusion create the atmosphere of a country house while benefiting from the advantages of a central Bordeaux location. The private accommodation is equally impressive, with a total of nine bedrooms distributed throughout the residence. This exceptional capacity provides remarkable flexibility and allows the property to adapt to many different lifestyles. The bedrooms can accommodate a large family, several generations living together, guests or professional requirements. Several bedrooms benefit from private shower rooms, enhancing comfort and offering the possibility of creating independent suites. The presence of several kitchens further reinforces the property’s versatility. This configuration allows for the creation of separate living areas, an independent section for guests or family members, a professional space, or even a hospitality project such as a boutique guest house. The house therefore offers a rare level of adaptability, allowing future owners to imagine and create a residence entirely tailored to their needs and aspirations. Beyond the main living spaces, the property benefits from additional features that further enhance its appeal. A beautiful vaulted cellar provides a remarkable space full of character. This historic area could be transformed according to individual preferences into an exceptional wine cellar, tasting room, entertainment space, storage area or private leisure room. At the rear of the garden, an additional outbuilding completes the property. This versatile space offers numerous possibilities and could become a private office, artist’s studio, guest accommodation, workshop or a dedicated area for a personal project. The residence’s exceptional size, multiple independent areas and preserved architectural character make it a truly unique property in Bordeaux.
