Renovated house with a vintage feel, garden and garage

Sanvic, an iconic neighborhood in Le Havre’s upper town, remains a highly sought-after area thanks to its unique layout, showcasing a diverse array of townhouses and a maze of narrow streets away from heavy traffic.

Behind its gate, discreetly tucked away at the end of a gravel driveway that winds through a charming garden bordering a parking area with an adjoining garage, this 148 sq m (1,583 sq ft) house, while appearing rather conventional, cleverly conceals its true character beneath its impeccable slate roof, punctuated by numerous skylights.

From the moment you step inside, the warm atmosphere is immediately apparent. A haven for owners passionate about antiques, books, and culture, this property serves as a beautiful display space for all their carefully curated finds. A small vestibule, opening onto the living room, avoids the feeling of entering the main living area directly, while still respecting its spaciousness. On one side, the fully equipped kitchen is accessed via a clever system of sliding doors and also benefits from direct access to the garden.

On the other side, a spacious 43 m² living/dining room with a large four-pane window overlooking the gravel terrace and garden is bathed in natural light throughout the day thanks to its excellent south-facing aspect.

Beyond this charming living space, the garden level also includes a comfortable bedroom, an attractive bathroom with a spacious shower, a separate toilet, and a utility room serving as a pantry, laundry room, and boiler room, with access to a small outdoor area tucked away behind the house. Everything you need to fully enjoy the convenience of single-level living.

Upstairs, a lovely landing bathed in soft light from the various skylights provides easy access to three bedrooms, one of which is 21 m² and could easily be divided in two to create an additional room. These bedrooms share a simple yet elegant attic bathroom with a toilet, concealed behind a charming sliding glass door.

It’s worth noting that two well-designed storage spaces are available in the attic above the bedrooms.

One of the main advantages of this house is undoubtedly its peaceful location, slightly removed from the town center but still close to public transport, shops, local services, and schools.

The gentle, inspiring atmosphere of this house will appeal to families seeking an easy lifestyle and independence in a friendly, village-like neighborhood.

This area remained a separate municipality until its annexation to Le Havre in 1955.
