luxury architect house for sale Saumur, France

In Montsoreau, a house reimagined by a heritage architect, its loggia and its panorama over the Loire and the castle. On a cobblestone square of the village, the house rises three levels in tuffeau stone. The main façade oriented to the south, coated with sand and lime, reveals the tuffeau around the window frames. The roof is made of slate, punctuated by two dormers with lowered arches. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to a living room open to a dining room and leads to a kitchen. The floors are tiled with a black and white cement checkerboard pattern. The exposed beams highlight the reception areas, while the living room is arranged around a brick fireplace equipped with a stove. From the kitchen, a quarter-turn staircase leads to the upper floors. On the first floor, a tiled landing distributes a toilet and a bathroom that opens onto a balcony. A corridor with terracotta tiles serves two south-facing bedrooms, one of which has a stone fireplace. On the second floor, the landing opens onto a spacious attic bedroom, extending from north to south. An approximately 11 m² loggia, with an oak structure and clad in chestnut paneling and poplar cladding, extends the space and offers a panoramic view of the castle and the Loire.This description has been automatically translated from French.
