A house of character, an elegant residence dating from 1890 in the heart of Marennes

EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES

Just steps from the shops and lively atmosphere of Marennes town center, this elegant residence, whose origins date back to 1890, reveals itself behind its original gates and small front garden, like an invitation to discover a unique place. Its stone facade, delicately adorned with moldings and sculpted decorations, testifies to the architectural elegance of the fine homes of the late 19th century.

Situated on a plot of over 630 sqm, the property perfectly blends old-world charm, high-quality contemporary renovation, and a remarkable sense of tranquility. Offering approximately 147 sqm of living space and nearly 180 sqm of floor space, it boasts generous, light-filled rooms, completely redesigned and renovated in 2023 and 2024, from floor to roof, with meticulous attention to materials and details. Upon entering, a view opens onto the garden. The guest dressing room and powder room are elegantly concealed, giving way to a bright, open-plan living area of approximately 50 square meters, where the lounge and fitted kitchen converge around a central island. This space is designed for both shared moments and more private retreats. A utility/laundry room completes this level.

Extending from this level, the approximately 23-square-meter library/living room naturally opens onto the terrace and garden. Its industrial-style windows create a true connection to the outdoors, while built-in benches extend the living space in an intimate atmosphere, conducive to contemplation. A small vestibule then leads to a dressing room and a bathroom with a toilet, before ascending to the upper floor where two bright bedrooms offer true havens of tranquility. A second staircase leads to the master suite, nestled under the eaves.

The bedroom, with approximately 16.5 sq m of living space and nearly 30 sq m of floor space, offers a warm and unique atmosphere. Beneath the skylight, a study area enjoys the first rays of sunlight and, in the evening, a beautiful view of the starry sky. A shower room and a dressing room of approximately 12 sq m, easily convertible into an office or gym, complete this space. Outside, the garden unfolds like a verdant haven, punctuated by an old well. Shrubs, plantings, and wildflowers create a bucolic and unspoiled atmosphere. The plot, still zoned for further development, also allows for the possibility of adding a swimming pool.

A cellar and garage complete the property. The renovation, meticulously planned down to the smallest detail, combines comfort and performance: roof and insulation, underfloor heating with a thermodynamic boiler, double-glazed wooden windows facing the street and double-glazed aluminum windows facing the garden. Just 300 meters from the market hall, 600 meters from the marina, 3 km from Marennes-Plage and its restaurants, and 5 km from the Île d’Oléron, this property enjoys a privileged location between village life, the coastline, and the art of living. A rare residence where heritage blends seamlessly with contemporary renovation, where light floods the spaces, and where the garden becomes, as the seasons change, a natural extension of the house.
