luxury contemporary house for sale Lavaur, France

In Lavaur, just minutes from the bustling city center, this late 19th-century building exudes a discreet charm. Nestled in the heart of a wooded park spanning over 7,000 square meters, this property of more than 300 square meters has stood the test of time, offering a renovation where light and spaciousness reign supreme. The entrance sets the tone and is an experience in itself. The eye is immediately drawn to a three-quarter-turn elm staircase, crafted by a master craftsman, which acts as the home's central axis, combining technical prowess with the inherent nobility of wood. The ground floor meets the demands of modern comfort, offering a fluid and welcoming flow. Here, a compass rose inlaid in the floor provides another striking feature of the house. The main living area, bathed in abundant natural light, invites conviviality. The contemporary kitchen, the true heart of the home, was designed so that the eye naturally flows towards the sunny terrace and swimming pool, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. A more intimate living room, defined by a double-sided fireplace, offers a cozy retreat for winter evenings. A ground-floor bedroom and a shower room complete this level, ensuring practical daily living. Upstairs, authenticity returns with high ceilings punctuated by exposed beams. The landing leads to two suites with private bathrooms. Two further bedrooms share a separate bathroom. An ideal layout for family life or for entertaining with complete privacy. Outside, the magic continues. The grounds are a living painting where centuries-old oaks, a rose garden, and an orchard coexist. The atmosphere is both rustic and refined. The relaxation area, with its swimming pool and summer kitchen, promises unforgettable summers, while the pétanque court evokes the relaxed lifestyle of Southwest France. For creative minds or DIY enthusiasts, a separate workshop offers additional potential. Beyond its impeccable technical features, it's the soul of this house that captivates.
