Welcome to the enchanting city of Amboise, nestled in the heart of the Indre-et-Loire region of France, where history and modernity live side by side. As an experienced real estate agent, albeit a bit bussy with clients vying for homes in this picturesque locale, I understand the allure of a residence that offers not just a place to live, but an opportunity to immerse oneself in a rich cultural tapestry.
Picture yourself stepping into this charming 4-bedroom family home, a true gem situated in a sought-after and quiet neighborhood in Amboise. It’s just a stone's throw away from the eminent Amboise Castle and Clos Lucé, providing you with an alluring peek into the past while living comfortably in the present. This home is not just a house; it’s an invitation to live your dream life amidst the beauty of France.
As you approach the property, the gentle allure of a partially wooded garden invites you in, promising peace and tranquility in your own private haven. The garden level is adorned with a welcoming terrace, ideally positioned facing south-west to capture the golden hues of sunset – perfect for those lazy Sunday afternoons or a bustling soirée with dear friends.
Upon entering the ground floor, you’re greeted by a spacious entrance with a handy cupboard. The large living room, an expansive 42 m², is the heart of the home. This is where friends gather, stories are shared, and unforgettable memories are crafted. An impressively fitted and equipped kitchen promises inspiring culinary adventures, while a storeroom and hallway offer easy access to the terrace, inviting al fresco dining experiences.
Venturing upstairs via the grand staircase or the conveniently installed lift (making this home accessible for everyone), you'll find the first floor. A grand landing leads you to a cozy office space and a bedroom that boasts a striking marble fireplace and charming exposed beams—testament to the home’s rich history. Here also lies a small dressing room, a tastefully renovated shower room, and a bespoke toilet.
Up another flight, nestled under the eaves, you’ll discover two sizable bedrooms. These spaces can be transformed to fit your family's needs – be it a peaceful retreat or lively children's rooms.
The garden level of this abode is a versatile canvas; here lies a 20 m² room—ideal as a gym, games room, or even your personal cinema. Another shower room, toilet, laundry room, and cellar complete this level, promising both functionality and potential.
Now let’s step outside where an enchanting 417 m² garden awaits, offering a delightful balance of open space and intimate nooks for relaxation. Below the main property, a small, autonomous gîte of around 20 m² sits, complete with its own terrace and garden, perfect for visiting guests or perhaps even as a rental opportunity for tourists drawn to the allure of Amboise.
Living in Amboise means immersing yourself in a community steeped in beauty and culture. Picture weekend strolls to vibrant local markets or embarking on a leisurely cycle along the Loire à Vélo route, where stunning vistas unfold before you. The local area is a treasure trove of delightful experiences—from exploring the historical wonders of Amboise Castle to indulging in delectable French cuisine at nearby bistros and cafes. And for families, this area is particularly appealing, with excellent schools, convenient shops, and an array of cultural and recreational activities.
Those with a penchant for history will revel in the unique climate Amboise offers—a calm blend of mild temperatures perfect for exploring the historic sites that dot this stunning landscape.
Though this home is beautifully preserved, it offers ample potential for you to craft it into your dream abode. Living in a house with such history feels like a privilege, offering the warmth of a family home and the promise of countless memories yet to be made.
In all its grandeur and potential, this house is a warm invitation to indulge in the unique blend of history, culture, and modern comfort that Amboise so graciously offers. Whether you seek a permanent residence or a charming holiday retreat, this property promises to be a haven of joy and discovery.
Just remember, properties of this allure don't stay on the market for long, so I would encourage interested buyers to reach out at their earliest convenience for the chance to make this part of Amboise their own.
