luxury house for sale Gambetta district of Floirac, France

Modernist architecture from the 1960s, this 210 m2 architect-designed house rises over 3 levels and is situated on a 205 m2 plot in the residential Gambetta neighborhood of lower Floirac, just steps away from Bordeaux Bastide.Built in 1964 by Jacques Bruneau, an architect trained by Claude Ferret, it is part of a modernist design where functionality, volumes, light, and circulation fully contribute to the organization of the place. Renovated in 2020 while respecting its original architecture, the house retains its volumes, proportions, and several iconic materials from its era. The ground floor opens onto a generous entrance that leads to a first living room currently converted into a music room, benefiting from specific acoustic treatment and a soundproof door. A large bay window opens this space to the tree-filled garden without any vis-à-vis and its terrace, in a natural continuity between interior and exterior, which contributes to the calm and soothing atmosphere of the place. The centerpiece of the house, a majestic metal staircase with mahogany steps serves the three levels and regulates the circulation from one floor to another. The living areas unfold alongside it, maintaining a privileged relationship with the outdoors. The East/West cross layout, combined with the large Okoumé wood joinery, allows natural light to traverse the house throughout the day. On the first level, the main living area, dressed in travertine flooring, opens onto a generous terrace that can accommodate a dining space. The living room and dining room are organized around a black marble fireplace, while an integrated passthrough ensures the transition to the separate kitchen, dressed in yellow Formica. A bedroom, currently arranged as an office, punctuates this level. The staircase then leads to the night area, composed of four bedrooms, two of which benefit from a balcony, and three with built-in storage as well as their own sink. The bedrooms share a shower room on the same level. The house is completed by a closed garage that can accommodate two vehicles and a reversible ducted air conditioning system, ensuring discreet thermal comfort throughout the spaces.A beautiful tribute to modern architecture, where light and materials interact gently.
