Located on the Place de la Bassée, in the heart of the town center, this character-filled residence stands out not merely for its remarkable scale and noble architecture; it is one of those homes that carries within it a memory, a presence, and an emotional resonance?a house that has traversed the ages without ever losing its soul.
Its façade still bears the scars of the past. Bullet holes, still visible today, serve as a reminder that during the Second World War, members of the Resistance found refuge here. Few properties possess walls that tell a chapter of history with such poignancy. Here, heritage is not just something to be observed?it is something to be felt.
Behind this understated façade lies nearly 350 square meters of space within the main building. Its 19 rooms?including six bedrooms?create an environment where the generous proportions invite visions of a rich family life, elegant entertaining, or entirely new endeavors. High ceilings, sweeping vistas, abundant light, and the timeless charm of a historic property provide a unique backdrop, ready to embrace a new chapter.
Beyond, the gaze drifts toward the garden.
Sheltered from the urban bustle, this unexpected green sanctuary reveals another dimension of the property. A sense of silence reigns?almost surreal for such a central location. The seasons unfold gently here, offering a privileged setting where nature has found its perfect place in the heart of the city.
Two outbuildings further expand the possibilities offered by this exceptional estate.
The first, spanning approximately 80 square meters across two levels, currently serves as office space. It is ideally suited for a professional practice, an artist's studio, a dedicated workspace, or even an independent guesthouse. The second building, spanning approximately 40 m², houses a bedroom, a WC, and a summer kitchen. It is an intimate space?ideal for hosting guests, creating an independent living unit, or extending moments of conviviality during the warmer months.
Beyond its generous proportions, this property captivates through its ability to bridge the past and the future. Whether as an exceptional family home, a multi-generational residence, a venue for entertaining, a guesthouse, or a space for professional activities, it offers a rare sense of freedom, set within an architectural framework of remarkable authenticity.
An exceptional property. A place steeped in history. A home simply waiting for the next family to whom it can pass on its legacy.
