With a generous living area of approximately 214 m², spread across three full floors, this property offers space, natural light and versatility. You enter the home through the elegant entrance hall with vestibule, where the authentic details immediately stand out: high ceilings, decorative mouldings, beautiful original features and tasteful modern elements. This stylish atmosphere continues throughout the entire property.
The extended living room is spacious and bright thanks to the skylight and French doors opening onto the sunny city garden. The fireplace adds warmth and ambience. At the rear of the property is the modern open-plan kitchen, newly installed in 2023, fully equipped with high-end built-in appliances and a kitchen island with breakfast bar. From the kitchen there is access to the practical utility room and cellar, while at the front of the house there is a separate office space, ideal for working from home.
The first floor features four bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a walk-in wardrobe. The luxurious bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, wall-mounted toilet and a stylish vanity unit.
Via the fixed staircase you reach the second floor, which has been designed as an exclusive hotel suite or loft apartment. This is the perfect space for a teenager living at home, or perhaps for yourself if you appreciate additional privacy. The spacious bedroom features a dormer window and French doors opening onto a private south-facing rooftop terrace with decking and excellent privacy. This floor also includes a full second bathroom with shower, wall-mounted toilet and vanity unit.
The deep city garden is truly a major asset: south-facing, surprisingly green and offering exceptional privacy, especially for a property located in the city centre.
In our opinion, this is a truly unique townhouse where history, luxury and modern living comfort come together perfectly. Has your enthusiasm also been sparked? We would be delighted to arrange a private viewing on location.
