Description
The main entrance, located on the western side of the house, opens into a welcoming hall with a separate toilet. To the right, a stunning living room showcases wood paneling, parquet flooring, and a marble fireplace. This room connects to a bright adjoining space with travertine flooring—perfect as a secondary entrance or a cozy office.
Also leading from the entrance hall is an elegant office (or blue sitting room), featuring parquet floors, a marble fireplace, and refined moldings.
The dining room is truly remarkable, with traditional terracotta tiles, a monumental fireplace, a built-in oak sideboard, and a discreet wood store. The separate, fully equipped kitchen (approx. 12 m²) also has terracotta flooring and abundant storage. From here, you access a large 50 m² games room—ideal for conversion into a ground-floor bedroom—and a pantry/cellar, which also has its own outdoor access.
In the L-shaped wing of the property, a secondary entrance with cloakroom leads to the utility room (housing the heat pump and thermodynamic hot water tank), laundry area, independent WC, and a shower room—completing the ground floor.
A beautiful spiral staircase rises from the main hall to the first floor, where a long corridor with linen closet connects three bedrooms (9.4 m², 12 m², and 24 m²), plus two suites (15 m² and 22 m²), each with its own en-suite bathroom and WC. A charming library with alcove completes this level.
The second floor offers a self-contained guest area, perfect for hosting family and friends. It includes another master suite (approx. 22 m²) with en-suite bathroom and WC, as well as a family suite comprising two bedrooms (approx. 10 m² each), a sitting room, and a shower room with WC.
