Townhouse transformed into a loft combining old and contemporary

This stone-built townhouse, converted into a spacious apartment spanning the entire height of the building, offers 342 square meters of living space on a plot of approximately 300 square meters. A characterful home with a loft-like feel, it features no shared living areas. It boasts remarkable natural light, generous proportions, and a view of Saint-Pierre Cathedral. On the first floor, the cozy living room charms with its solid wood flooring, high ceilings, and custom-built bookshelves. The large kitchen, with its central island, opens onto the outside. These two rooms are connected by a spectacular glass roof, which transforms the dining room into a light-filled space, framed by exposed stone walls and openings to the outside.

This level also includes a bedroom with a dressing room and shower room, as well as an office. A period staircase with elegant curves leads to the upper floors, which reveal generously sized bedrooms in a warm atmosphere created by the combination of stone and wood. Those facing south enjoy unobstructed views of the cathedral. Bathrooms complete the layout, offering a total of six bedrooms. In the basement, a vaulted stone cellar adds a rare and precious feature to this residence. Outside, the house boasts a beautifully landscaped wooden terrace. Intimate and secluded, it’s perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation, and provides access to an outbuilding at the rear of the courtyard, ideal for a workshop, studio, or creative space.

The urban setting is perfect for those who want to get around on foot: shops, restaurants, the market, schools, the train station, the banks of the Charente River, the Arch of Germanicus, and the Abbaye aux Dames are all within easy walking distance. This authentic and bright stone townhouse combines the preserved charm of the old with a loft-style feel, high-quality amenities, and a prime location in the historic center of Saintes.
