Description

Discover this private mansion built in 1850, a discreet witness to La Rochelle's maritime golden age and the emblematic home of the Delmas family of shipowners. This place steeped in history, full of charm and authenticity, invites you to write a new page within its walls.



As soon as you enter, an imposing staircase leads you through three carefully preserved levels. On the ground floor, a vast 62 m² living-dining room, bathed in light, welcomes you with its original wood panelling, antique parquet flooring and remarkable high ceilings.



The first floor features two elegant suites and a spacious library. Each room is enhanced by marble fireplaces that bear witness to the refinement of a bygone era. From this level, the view unfolds over a carefully tended formal garden, with the park of La Rochelle in the background.



The second floor, once used by an owner-doctor, offers two further generous suites and a period study, adding a functional touch to the elegance of the premises.



The garden, a haven of serenity in the city centre, leads to a former hunting lodge that has been converted into an outbuilding. This outbuilding contains a library, a reception room and a separate suite, bringing the total number of suites available on the property to five.



A garage and undeveloped outbuildings still offer plenty of scope for your own projects, while preserving the privacy and character of this home.



This rare and unique property combines heritage and potential, in the heart of La Rochelle, for lovers of history and authenticity.
