Where time seems to stand still
Once through the gate, the city noise fades away. A shaded path winds between centuries-old trees to an elegant 19th-century residence, with its tower and protected by an enclosed park where light filters through the foliage. Here, just a few minutes' walk from the town center of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon and its renowned schools, including the international school, you find the peace of a country home without leaving the vibrant atmosphere of Lyon's western area.
An entire floor, like a house within the house
The apartment occupies the whole first floor, served by a majestic solid-oak staircase. Beyond the door, a suite of rooms is revealed: the hallmark of the great homes of the past, where each space answers the next in rare harmony. 175 m² unfold with uncommon generosity: an entrance that sets the tone, a dining room, a double living room with a working fireplace, a separate kitchen with its dining area, three spacious bedrooms, a playroom or office, a bathroom with dressing room, a separate WC with storage, and a laundry area. An independent storage room on the mezzanine level completes the property.
?Light never leaves the place. Dual exposure, southwest and east, bathes every room in sunshine from morning to evening, with no overlooking, only the garden's foliage as a backdrop.
The charm of authenticity
Underfoot, a varnished pitch pine parquet floor, a now-rare wood, runs through all the living areas, mellowed by time. Three marble and stone fireplaces, period plinths: every detail tells the story of this manor house, without ever sacrificing today's comfort.
Potential as a signature
Beyond the charm, real potential lies within the walls: several service risers (water, gas) already in place make it possible to envision an additional bedroom or shower room, a kitchenette, or even a second independent entrance thanks to a second landing door, ideal for a liberal profession, mixed use, or simply independence for older children.
