Exceptional period property in the centre of La Rochelle

Nestled in the charming historic center of La Rochelle, this extraordinary Hôtel Particulier perfectly combines refinement and convenience. Set in a tranquil 552 m² plot, the elegance and sophistication of the meticulously preserved period features are enhanced by the natural light that floods the 305 m² of living space in this splendid family property, offering a total of 450 m² of usable space. The building's origins probably date back to before the 16th century, and underwent extensive renovation during the 18th century. Further restoration work was carried out on the interior and exterior between 1949 and 1960. The majestic entrance to this private mansion sets the tone for the captivating rooms inside. A charming study and a spacious living room adorned with sculpted moldings are especially welcoming. The beautifully fitted and equipped kitchen opens onto a first terrace via a charming veranda. This in turn opens onto a splendid dining room in seven shades of blue, overlooking the enchanting garden. The first floor is completed by a fully renovated master suite, offering the convenience of single-level living. Ascending the staircase, pretty murals follow to the library landing on the second floor, which leads to two separate sleeping areas. The suite and the four bedrooms vary in size, providing a variety of accommodation options. The charming walled landscaped garden with its terrace calls for relaxation. Two spacious cellars, one of which extends to around 120 m², and an annex that can be used as a jacuzzi, artist's studio or adaptable office space, according to preferences, complete this distinguished mansion. Parking is facilitated by the possibility of parking one vehicle in the entrance courtyard and two vehicles in secure underground parking lots opposite the property.
