A beautiful escape under the rooftops: loft style and cathedral view

Nestled in the heart of Rouen, just a 5-minute walk from the bustling Place du Vieux Marché and only 15 minutes from the train station, lies this unique property.

Perched on the 4th and top floor (no elevator) of a beautiful cut-stone building, this apartment, part of a small, 7-unit condominium, offers the rare luxury of unobstructed views, suspended between sky and rooftops. The result of a 2021 renovation, this hybrid space of 77 sq m (Carrez Law) (114 sq m of floor space) reinvents the concept of attic living, imbuing it with a true loft spirit.

The entrance immediately gives way to a spectacular 50 sq m living area. Bathed in light from east to west, this reception area enhances the original structure: the exposed beams add rhythm to the volume, while on the floor, a dialogue unfolds between warm, recently laid parquet and authentic terracotta tiles that define the culinary space.

The open-plan kitchen integrates seamlessly into this ensemble, inviting shared meals.

The true spectacle unfolds outside: the windows frame an unobstructed view of the slate roofs typical of the city of a hundred spires, and, in the background, the majestic Rouen Cathedral.

The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms. A shower room with a toilet completes the property.

To further enhance this property’s distinctive character, an industrial-style metal ladder leads to a mezzanine. This bonus room, a blank canvas to be finished, offers a blank canvas for the imagination: a reading nook, an additional sleeping space, perhaps. Well-equipped technically (reinforced door, double glazing, very recent radiators and water heater), this apartment combines old-world charm with modern thermal comfort.

A truly exceptional place to live, ideal for city dwellers seeking height and a touch of history!
