A 200-Year-Old Village House with Eco-Friendly Renovations

Ideally located in Jouy-aux-Arches, near the Roman aqueduct, this semi-detached Lorraine-style village house spans 192 m² on a 208 m² lot. Formerly owned by the Benedictine nuns, this 200-year-old home charms with its unique character and the great flexibility of its layout. Renovated in 2016, it combines eco-friendly upgrades (wood-wool insulation, a ducted pellet stove, and lime plaster) with a fully integrated, remotely controllable home automation system.

Upon entering, an elegant checkerboard-patterned tile floor leads to a bathroom/laundry room, a vaulted earthen-floored cellar, and two offices opening onto a pleasant, intimate little garden. This single-level layout offers great flexibility, ideal for working from home or for converting into a guest suite.

A magnificent, characterful staircase combining wrought iron and wood leads to the upper levels. The first floor reveals a living room with spectacular proportions, enhanced by a superb cathedral ceiling. Bathed in light, the spacious kitchen opens onto a suspended terrace connecting to the lush green space below. On a half-level, a warm and spacious living room flows into a full master suite (walk-in closet and bathroom).

Nestled in the attic, the top floor further highlights the home’s versatile design. It features a glass-roofed mezzanine, a shower room, and a beautiful bedroom/play area that can be adapted to your needs. Functionality is ensured by bathrooms on every level and an ingenious laundry column that runs through the entire home.

The surroundings combine historic tranquility with exceptional convenience: schools are a 4-minute walk away, and the amenities of the Augny ZAC are a 3-minute drive away. Access to the A31 (5 min) allows you to reach downtown Metz and the Metz train station in 12 minutes, while the Ars-sur-Moselle train station is a 15-minute walk away.

A perfect blend of historic preservation, contemporary comfort, and versatility, this unique property is just waiting for its future happy owners to write the next chapter in its history.
