Private mansion, or the Art of Inhabiting History

Le Havre captivates with its listed heritage, its immediate proximity to the beach, its vibrant city center, and its schools, shops, and public transport all within walking distance. In the heart of this privileged setting, this 1880 private mansion offers 334 sq m of living space and boasts a 25 sq m south-facing rooftop terrace. A true testament to Le Havre’s heritage, it escaped bombing and retains all its original splendor. A rare find for lovers of architecture and history.

Behind its preserved facade, a spacious entrance hall reveals a magnificent staircase leading to the upper floors, a separate WC, and a 66 sq m living room with remarkable proportions, extending into a kitchen and pantry. The eye is drawn to the period parquet flooring, the rediscovered mosaics, the fireplace, the stained-glass windows commemorating Jacques Coeur, the glass roof… creating a unique setting enhanced by a passionate renovation. A dressing room, a bedroom, and a shower room complete this level, allowing for true single-level living.

The first floor, dedicated to art and culture, cultivates a cozy atmosphere worthy of a design magazine, featuring the authentic wallpaper from the famous Hôtel Normandy. An office, TV lounge, bathroom, spacious living room with a double-sided fireplace, library lounge, a second office, and a veranda opening onto an interior patio create a warm and inviting haven.

The top floor, themed around travel, offers three bedrooms, two with mezzanines, a small sitting room, and a large living area with a kitchenette and separate WC.

The layout allows for the possibility of a family home, three separate apartments, or a primary residence combined with a professional activity thanks to a second independent entrance.

An exceptional, poetic, and unique property, this home combines historical charm, remarkable proportions, and significant potential for development.
