Elegant family home in the heart of the city

Just steps from the heart of Saintes’ Left Bank, nestled on a quiet and sought-after street, this townhouse of approximately 215 sq m embodies a refined lifestyle. Behind its cut-stone facade lies a unique living space, centered around a secluded 230 sq m enclosed garden. A true haven of serenity, it features an intimate swimming pool, perfect for relaxation. From the moment you enter, the tone is set: a majestic central staircase flows smoothly and elegantly between the two levels.

The ground floor unfolds into two distinct wings. To the right, a timelessly charming living room/library boasts antique parquet flooring, delicate moldings, a marble fireplace, and tall windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for reading. To the left, a bright dining room leads to a second, light-filled living room, which opens onto a fitted and equipped kitchen, enhanced by a workshop-style glass partition. This partition naturally extends the living space onto a welcoming terrace, a true link between indoors and outdoors. A functional office and a WC harmoniously complete this level.

Upstairs, the sleeping area opens onto a comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry room, and three spacious adjoining bedrooms, one with its own shower room, ideal for offering teenagers or guests a spacious yet independent living space. The top floor houses two bedrooms, bathed in light thanks to skylights and windows, as well as a small WC with a washbasin. The charm of the original features is ever-present: elegant parquet floors, high ceilings, renovated woodwork, fireplaces, and moldings.

The entire house is heated by mains gas for optimal everyday comfort. As an added bonus, a separate 40 sqm space overlooks the bicycle storage area. Currently used as a games room for teenagers (foosball, ping-pong, dinner parties), it offers remarkable potential: it could easily be transformed into a studio, an artist’s office, or a guest room with a private entrance. In addition, there is a large cellar accessible from the kitchen or via a second, discreet access under the stairs.

Extending under the entire ground floor, it provides ideal storage space or a haven for wine enthusiasts. This house, located in the heart of the city, combines old-world charm with generous proportions to create a privileged living environment, perfect for urban living.
