private mansion with terrace for sale Seine-Maritime, France

LE HAVRE ? THIERS-COTY AN EXCEPTIONAL HISTORIC RESIDENCE, AN ARCHITECTURAL MANIFESTO OF THE 19TH CENTURY This remarkable private mansion (hôtel particulier) of 334 m² stands as a rare place to live, set back from the bustle of city life in the sought-after Thiers-Coty district of Le Havre. It captivates with its 17 tastefully renovated rooms, offering an atmosphere that is at once intimate, refined and authentic ? a true testament to the respect shown for its history and its volumes. This grand and beautiful family residence lends itself equally well to a prestige family home and primary residence, a mixed-use professional project, or a multi-generational living arrangement ? a rare potential for a building constructed in 1890 under the architectural signature of the renowned Jacques Coeur style. GROUND FLOOR A grand entrance hall reveals striking ceiling heights, period mouldings and a floor of cement tiles. A very old, original double door opens onto a reception space with emblematic Jacques Coeur stained-glass windows, expertly restored. This living space, spanning nearly 66 m², can be arranged to suit personal taste ? currently a dining room and lounge bathed in zenithal light. The fitted and equipped kitchen adjoins an intimate breakfast area. An elegant master bedroom with shower room (and WC) and a large dressing room complete this level (single-storey layout). A guest WC is provided in the entrance hall. Light-toned parquet floors, mouldings and cement tiles combine to create an atmosphere both classic and refined. FIRST FLOOR The staircase, lined with a weathered wood and wrought-iron banister, leads to a landing upholstered in wallpaper reminiscent of the Hôtel Normandy, offering a striking perspective onto a floor dedicated to art and culture. Two charming, welcoming lounges with herringbone parquet flooring ? one with a fireplace insert, the other with an open hearth ? invite relaxation. These spaces extend into a writing study, which connects directly to a light-filled conservatory leading onto an open-sky patio. A TV/media room, a study with a small balcony, and a bathroom with WC complete this level. SECOND FLOOR True to late 19th-century architecture, this floor offers an inviting living space with kitchenette, designed around a travel theme, opening onto a perfectly exposed 25 m² roof terrace. This level lends itself to co-living, functioning as an independent apartment with 3 bedrooms, a shower room, a WC, and 3 mezzanines serving two of the bedrooms. HERITAGE-LISTED ARCHITECTURE This unique and distinctive residence, listed by the French Ministry of Culture, enchants with remarkable architectural details: pointed arches, ribbed cross-vaults, a turret punctuating its silhouette, gargoyles and sculpted ornamentation, along with its beautifully restored stained-glass windows. The solidity of its construction bears witness to exceptional craftsmanship. A visit is essential to fully appreciate the potential of this exceptional residence.
