Let me tell you the story of this delightful property, which may very well be your dream abode.
This traditional stone-and-sylex house is a picture-perfect representation of rustic elegance. Spanning approximately 220 square meters, this property is set on an expansive 3750m2 parcel of land, adorned with tall trees, lending a sense of tranquility and isolation. The house is positioned at the threshold of the historic and picturesque town of Honfleur, famous for its old port and vibrant cultural life. Living here, you benefit from both the serenity of the countryside and easy access to more urban pleasures.
As you enter, you’re greeted by an entrance hall featuring a large, character-filled fireplace insert with a lifting window – a perfect spot for winter evenings. To your left, the kitchen is not just any kitchen; it’s a SCHMIDT fitted-equipped culinary haven, complete with a back kitchen. Imagine whipping up a French feast here! The dining room, bathed in natural light, opens up to a terrace that offers views of a swimming pool waiting for its revival. Picture the summer months, where friends and family gather around for laughter-filled barbecues and swimming.
To your right, uncover a lovely living room warmed by a wood stove, where wide bay windows invite sunlight, offering views of a fish pond teeming with water lilies. This room whispers relaxation, beckoning you to unwind with a book or your favorite music playing softly in the background. On the ground floor, you’ll find a separate toilet, shower room, and a multifunctional office-dressing room. The journey doesn’t stop here; a staircase guides you to a cozy roof terrace of about 28m2, an ideal retreat for stargazing nights or morning coffees.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four well-sized bedrooms, providing ample space for your needs. Whether you're looking to accommodate a growing family or create guest rooms for visiting friends or relatives from afar, there's room to fulfill those dreams. A bathroom complete with a double sink and toilet is thoughtfully positioned, ensuring convenience for everyone. Additionally, an attic offers conversion possibilities, fueling your imagination for future projects.
