Renovated mansion in the heart of the city

In the heart of Colmar’s southern district, just a few steps from the city center, this 1910 mansion exudes all the charm of bourgeois architecture with 2,200 sq ft of living space (2,700 sq ft of floor space) and 5,500 sq ft of enclosed grounds. Designed by architect Paul Maus and formerly the home of Mayor Friedrich Difenbach during the First World War, it embodies the timeless elegance of characterful residences, with its spacious rooms, high ceilings, and tree-lined garden.

From the generously proportioned reception hall, the authentic features are captivating: herringbone parquet flooring, moldings, and carefully preserved woodwork. The light-filled living room offers a warm space, extended by a large, convivial living room and a TV room conducive to relaxation. A winter garden adds a refined touch and could easily be converted into a bright office. The spacious and functional kitchen opens onto a utility room with direct access to the garden.

The first floor features an elegant bedroom with an adjoining custom-made dressing room and a terrace ideally positioned to enjoy the sunrise, a refined bathroom, and a second bedroom. On the top floor, two additional bedrooms offer welcoming spaces, accompanied by a large bathroom and a mezzanine ideal for a play or reading area. Modern comforts blend seamlessly into this historic home thanks to air conditioning, electric shutters, fiber optics, and an alarm system that ensures the security of the premises and meets the demands of contemporary life while preserving the original character of the house. The 105 m² basement offers multiple storage rooms, a laundry room, and a boiler room.

Outside, the enclosed, tree-lined grounds create a peaceful setting. The detached garage is extended by a two-story annex, offering storage space on the ground floor and potential for conversion on the upper floor according to your needs. Three vehicles can be parked in the paved courtyard, ensuring comfort and convenience.

The southern district of Colmar is distinguished by its remarkable architecture and sought-after residential atmosphere, while offering immediate access to schools, shops, transportation, and other amenities.

With its prime location in the heart of the city, this mansion, completely renovated with high-quality materials, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic property where old-world charm blends harmoniously with modern comfort.
