Centre Ville, La Rochelle
In the heart of La Rochelle's old town, just 500 meters from the Old Port, this 19th-century townhouse, built in 1850 by a prominent local family, is an exceptionally charming property awaiting a new family or professional project. Behind a tall wooden door lies an inner courtyard, revealing the elegance of a spacious bourgeois residence. Complete with a garage and workshop at the front, the property extends to the rear, opening onto a verdant haven enclosed by stone walls, offering absolute tranquility--a rare urban privilege. The entrance hall, the centerpiece of the house, impresses with its high ceilings and wood paneling, which underscores the authentic character of the space. Connecting the courtyard and garden, it leads to a vast, light-filled living room, enhanced by period parquet flooring and a fireplace. The separate kitchen enjoys a soothing view of the garden. An elegant staircase, bathed in light from a skylight, leads to the upper floors. The first floor comprises two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a spacious library that could be converted into a third bedroom. Bathed in light and open to the outdoors, the main room offers a soothing view of the garden. On the second floor, three additional bedrooms are arranged around the landing, with the possibility of creating a fourth. The landscaped garden provides a true haven of peace. At the rear, an outbuilding with a unique architectural style faces the main house and currently houses a welcoming lounge and bar. A treehouse at its summit adds an unusual touch. A second door opens onto a side street, allowing for the possibility of creating a separate living space. A rare property steeped in history, emblematic of the atypical real estate in La Rochelle, offering remarkable potential for a family home or an exceptional project.
