A significant slice of history with a modern twist - 15th-century townhouse in the heart of Penne d'Agenais
Tucked discreetly away on a quiet side street in the center of the charming, historic town of Penne d'Agenais (where baguettes and fine wine are never far away), this magnificent period townhouse is a true gem. Dating back to the 15th century, built from beautiful stone and brick, and boasting that elusive combination of authentic charm and stylish contemporary interiors, it's one of those houses that makes you say "ooh"—frequently and with emotion.
Renovated from top to bottom according to the rules of the art (no dark cuts, no damaged beams), the house combines period features - exposed stone, massive beams and architectural soul - with a refined modernity. The industrial-style steel staircase allows you to discover a sophisticated kitchen/dining room equipped with a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings, as well as an enviably stylish living room, ideal for reading or relaxing.
Upstairs, you'll find four beautifully decorated bedrooms, including a master suite with its own walk-in closet—because your clothes deserve to be shown off, too. Downstairs? The stuff of dreams: a stone-lined game and bar room, aka the man cave, though, of course, both sexes can enjoy its pleasures (shaker not included).
Outside, prepare to be enchanted by a large covered terrace with travertine flooring and fabulous panoramic views that practically demand sunset drinks. There's also that rare-as-a-hen's-teeth garden, a sparkling pool, and off-road parking for two cars—a true unicorn in a medieval town center.
Other benefits include double glazing, a modern heat pump system and the assurance that everything from the chic interiors to the plumbing is spotless and up to standard.
In short, this is a historic house that doesn't feel like a museum. It's located close to cafes, restaurants, and bakeries, making it perfect for those who appreciate beauty, history, and a good espresso.
Note: Unfortunately, the cat is not included - although he may try to convince you otherwise.
