On the first floor of an elegant eighteenth-century private townhouse, a stone's throw from the Loire riverside, Châtelet Markets and Place du Martroi, this exceptional 175 m2 reception apartment combines the refinement of the old world with contemporary comfort. The renovation, carried out with care and high standards, preserves all the heritage features that give the place its character: Empire woodwork, moldings, coving, fireplaces and Hungarian-point parquet floors. A frame of rare elegance, enhanced by a designer décor that creates a perfect harmony between charm of yesteryear and confident modernity. The rooms are arranged around a beautiful entrance gallery, offering generous volumes and remarkable ceiling heights. The large 70 m2 living area brings together a living room opening onto a full-length balcony through three tall French doors with lateral views of the Loire, a beautiful kitchen with island, and a dining room bathed in east-west light that traverses the space. The sleeping area includes a large master suite with two French doors onto the full-length balcony and a private bathroom, a bedroom overlooking the courtyard with a private bathroom, and a bedroom or study with access to the balcony. A laundry room completes the mid-level distribution. Nicely maintained co-ownership: facade and common areas fully renovated. A parking space shared in the inner courtyard is included, with the possibility to acquire an additional space in a secure parking lot on the same street. Private stroller/bike storage on the ground floor. An exceptional property, rare on the market. Information available on request by contacting Anne-Laure Layeillon.
