Grasse
A large 19th-century dwelling with a garden and sea views, in the historical centre of a village near Grasse. Located halfway down a pedestrian lane, the dwelling is aligned with its neighbouring, southwest-facing buildings, the rear exteriors of which enjoy unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and the sea, thanks to the height of the hill. As for the dwelling, built out of pointed rubble stone, it has four storeys, plus an attic level, and is topped with a barrel tile gable roof, partially bordered by a double genoise cornice on its garden side. Featuring randomly-placed windows in a variety of shapes (square, rectangle or arched), partially safeguarded by wrought-iron grills or varnished wooden shutters, the dwelling has undergone many transformations between the Middle Ages - the period in which its foundations seem to have been built - and the 19th century, which has created, like in the neighbouring houses, a unique interior layout: some rooms having encroached on the adjacent buildings, while others have relinquished space to them. <br />In addition, behind these dwellings, a series of well maintained terraced levels and gardens - including this property's very own - facing south towards the coast, stretching from Antibes to Théoule, makes it seem as if the adjoining dwellings are overlooking a vast verdant garden landscaped into different areas and levels, even though each property's access is limited to their own plot of land.
