Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Carcassonne, France

A35577JKB11 - Step into a piece of Carcassonne history. Built in 1930 and cherished by one family for nearly eight decades, this remarkable home blends the timeless craftsmanship of a bygone era with thoughtful modern upgrades. Purchased in 2018 by the current owners, it offers flexibility, character, and some of the most captivating views in the city.

Designed for versatility, the first and second floors can be enjoyed as a spacious 5-bedroom family residence or used as two independent apartments. The third floor—with soaring exposed beams—offers scope for another apartment, complete with panoramic vistas of the medieval city. On the ground floor, a fully independent, wheelchair-accessible one-bedroom apartment makes welcoming guests or generating income effortless.

In the late 1970s, the property underwent a substantial remodel, adding a sunny dining terrace with a table-tennis room beneath, a generous garage, boiler room, and reinforced concrete foundations. South-facing windows flood the home with natural light, while the peaceful neighbourhood ensures both privacy and safety.

The outdoor spaces are just as enticing: a large, fully enclosed garden offers space for a pool or hot tub and has mature trees, an automatic watering system, and rainwater collection. The garage, covered parking, and ample on-street parking add rare convenience for this prime location—just a 10-minute stroll to both the medieval cité and the vibrant Bastide. Only one mile away is a new shopping centre which adds even more convenience.
