Art Nouveau bourgeois house and intimate garden on the outskirts of Saintes

In the heart of a typical Charente-Maritime village, less than fifteen minutes from Saintes towards the estuary, this elegant holiday home of approximately 213 sqm of living space reveals a lifestyle imbued with charm and authenticity.

Set within a landscaped plot of over 1,310 sqm, this property will soon benefit from private access to the garden, bringing the total area to nearly 1,500 sqm. This extension offers development possibilities, such as the creation of a parking area or a garage, according to your plans. Behind its Art Nouveau-inspired silhouette, the house asserts a rare and refined personality. Its façade, clad in green and white ceramic tiles, immediately captures the eye and elegantly reflects the architectural refinement of a bygone era.

Inside, the charm is instantaneous: antique mosaics, intricately carved wainscoting, and an elm burl staircase create a warm and inviting atmosphere where every detail seems to tell a story.

From the moment you step inside, the charm takes hold with delicate grace. A testament to bygone elegance, the hall reveals remarkable period hand-painted frescoes, lending the space a timeless atmosphere. The main living room, complete with a dining area and enhanced by a stone fireplace, invites you to share warm moments in a cozy and authentic ambiance.

Bathed in light, the spacious rooms evoke the spirit of a family home where conviviality and the art of living naturally converge. In a country house style, the fitted kitchen opens harmoniously onto the terrace and the landscaped garden, extending the reception areas outdoors. A more private second living room offers a haven for reading, listening to music, or enjoying intimate conversations. This leads to a sun-drenched patio-solarium, a true oasis of serenity throughout the seasons.

Upstairs, the master suite has its own private bathroom with toilet, while three inviting bedrooms share a shower room. Outside, the façade is enhanced by a spacious terrace sheltered by a cozy covered patio, perfect for relaxing in the shade.

This patio provides a natural and seamless transition to the main living area. The private, landscaped garden offers the potential for a swimming pool and a garage, depending on the future private access. Hidden from view, this unique property elegantly combines period charm, a relaxed lifestyle, and potential for further development.

An ideal location for an inspiring family home or a characterful second residence, just 4.5 kilometers from shops, 30 minutes from the beaches of Meschers, and 30 minutes from Royan.
