Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Carcassonne, France

A42545BK11 - Set behind an elegant façade in the historic centre of Carcassonne, this exceptional duplex apartment immediately reveals a rare sense of space, calm and light. Occupying the second and third floors of a character building, it offers 272 m² of living space and a highly flexible layout, with each level enjoying a degree of independence while forming a coherent and elegant whole.

The first level is organised around a generous 22 m² entrance hall, which leads naturally to the main living areas. The independent kitchen measures 26 m² and provides a true everyday living space. The 36 m² reception lounge is filled with natural light and showcases the apartment’s generous volumes and original parquet flooring, creating a warm and refined atmosphere.

This level also includes three bedrooms. The principal bedroom measures 22 m² and benefits from its own 5 m² dressing room. The two further bedrooms, measuring 15 m² and 17 m², are currently opened to each other via an archway, creating a bedroom and adjoining sitting or study area. As each room has its own independent entrance, it is entirely possible to reinstate the partition wall and create two separate bedrooms if required. A 6 m² bathroom, a separate WC 1.3 m² and a 4.5 m² corridor complete this floor.

The upper level, accessible either via an internal staircase or through an independent entrance from the communal stairwell, is almost arranged as a self-contained second apartment. It offers a spacious 36 m² living room, currently set up as a games room with a billiard table, a 25 m² fourth bedroom, a 9 m² bathroom, a 6 m² corridor, a 7 m² laundry room and an additional 11 m² room currently used as a home gym, which could easily serve as a fifth bedroom. A 24 m² loft provides further storage or potential for additional use.

Two private terraces extend this level, offering peaceful outdoor spaces sheltered from view, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

The property also benefits from a 25 m² cellar in the basement, as well as a 15 m² external bike storage/workshop. Parking is easy in the immediate vicinity.

Located in the UNESCO-listed city of Carcassonne, which has its own airport and excellent transport links to Toulouse, the Mediterranean coast and major road networks, this rare duplex is ideally suited as a character family home, an elegant city residence or a property offering flexible, independent living options.
