Dans un quartier paisible de Nantes, un hôtel particulier du 19e s. confortable et rénové. This townhouse was built in the middle of the 19th century, on creation of the Mellinet district, in a provincial neo-classical style, characteristic of the period’s architectural codes. The property can be found on one of the large boulevards that had recently been created at the time. The four-storey main building stands among others, with a tree-filled garden to the rear. At the end of the plot, the property’s garage can be reached via an adjacent street. The townhouse’s garden storey is on the basement level. The edifice boasts a symmetrical layout that is typical of its time, giving the property a feeling of balance and rigour. On the façade overlooking the street, the windows are rectangular with straight lintels, or with semi-circular arches on the upper floor. They possess limestone frames with bevelled edges, topped by slightly moulded sills. The façade is crowned by a sober entablature, including a slightly protruding cornice, underlined by an interplay of striking shadows, which elegantly completes the composition. The neutral, off-white cladding highlights the natural colour of the limestone on the window and door frames as well as the sleeper wall. The garden façade is similarly arranged but is also enhanced by several features, such as slate-grey painted wooden shutters, a simply edged cornice underlining the separation between the levels and, particularly, an imposing double-flighted set of stone steps, weathered by time, descending into the garden. It serves as a veritable transition between the house and the surrounding vegetation, in the style of grand holiday homes or country manors. Two ornamental urns on stone and cast-iron pedestals can be found on the stoop to which the steps lead.

Built in the 19th century out of tufa stone on a hard stone base, the dwelling has four storeys, including a cellar and an attic. The whole building has a four-sloped slate roof and large central dormer windows at the front and rear. The façades are emblematic of the composite architecture of the period. The style is troubadour-like at the front, while the rear is a more sober and classic. The overall decoration is rich, with mouldings, bosses and modillioned cornices lined with a frieze of stylised scallop shells. The courtyard façade is flanked by turrets topped with tall pepperbox roofs, and the entrance door, in the centre, is topped by a rounded balcony with a stone balustrade rail. An extension was added to the east gable at a later date. A passageway running along the west gable links the courtyard and the garden. The parkland is enclosed by walls.
