CONTEMPORARY HOUSE ON THE HEIGHTS OF BESANÇON

Sheltered at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the heights of Chaudanne, this timber-framed house sits in an area where the city gradually gives way to the edges of the forest. Designed to accommodate family life with ease, it combines natural light, energy efficiency and an ever-present connection to the surrounding landscape.

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE DESIGNED TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE LIGHT
On the heights of Besançon, in the Chaudanne neighbourhood, this timber-framed house showcases a restrained yet welcoming architectural style. Built in 2014 to RT2012 standards, it offers approximately 160 m² of living space across three levels. From the entrance, the spaces flow naturally. The living room opens generously onto the outdoors and benefits from a west-facing aspect that follows the changing light throughout the day. Wide sliding pocket doors blur the boundary between indoors and out, while solid wood flooring and natural materials create a gentle, authentic atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen, extended by a pantry, serves the reception areas.

SPACES DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
With five bedrooms, including a suite on the ground floor, the house suits the rhythms of contemporary family life. Its layout offers scope for home-working areas as well as spaces for children or guests.
The full basement, utility room and double garage complete the layout discreetly. The basement also offers potential for conversion into a workshop, gym, wellness space or another personal project. Comfort is enhanced by the facilities, including a heating system combining underfloor heating and radiators, a wood-burning fireplace insert, a stove, photovoltaic panels, solar hot water production, a double-flow ventilation system, home automation and excellent energy efficiency.

A WAY OF LIFE ON THE HEIGHTS OF CHAUDANNE
Set on a plot of approximately 801 m², the property features two large wooden terraces totalling nearly 100 m², facing south and west. They extend the living areas and invite you to enjoy every season. The Chaudanne neighbourhood is sought after for its balance of nature and proximity to the city. Shops, schools, the TGV station and Besançon’s historic centre are all within easy reach, while the trails and wooded areas around Fort de Chaudanne provide a setting for walks and outdoor activities. Here, contemporary architecture sits naturally within the landscape. An address where build quality, energy efficiency and quality of life come together in particularly harmonious fashion.
