A grand early-19th-century house requiring renovation with a walled garden dotted with trees in Mulhouse city centre. The house was once the home of Doctor Paul Curie, who was the grandfather of the famous Nobel-Prize-winning physicist Pierre Curie. Later, it was the home of a family of industrialists. The dwelling features on the visitor circuit for discovering Mulhouse’s historical heart.
The property is just a stone’s throw from Saint-Jean chapel, which dates back to the 13th century. It is nestled among calm streets in the city centre. A tree-dotted garden of around four ares surrounds the house. A stone wall separates the garden from the road. You enter the edifice via a double flight of outdoor steps that lead up the south-west-facing facade, or through a vehicle gate on the property’s north-east side. A pedestrian gate on the property’s east corner leads into a small garden of around 70m².
The grand house is made of rubble stone coated with rendering. It is rectangular and has three floors. Its street-facing facade is divided into five bays. The dwelling is crowned with a roof of interlocking tiles, punctuated with gabled dormers.
The modillions that adorn its cornice, the straight pediment that caps its main door, the quoins that embellish its ground floor, and its tall windows, neatly arranged and fitted with decorated wooden shutters, give pleasant symmetry and rhythm to this remarkable home. The oak entrance door beneath a fanlight of small panes is framed between two pilasters. The house offers a floor area of around 430m².
