Former auto workshop converted into a contemporary house

In Saint André sur Cailly, just outside Rouen, this 240 m² property tells a story of transformation: a former auto repair shop converted into a contemporary, single-story residence. Here, the industrial spaces have been tamed to create a fluid, light-filled living environment.

The heart of the home beats in the 75 m² reception room, entirely parquet-floored, which opens onto a breathtaking view thanks to its expansive 5.5-meter-long bay window leading to a very generous terrace, blending wood and paving stones.
The living room ceiling incorporates a built-in sound system. The contrast between the modern lines, the charm of the fireplace, the original cement tiles, and the exposed brickwork in the open-plan, fitted, and equipped kitchen is striking. Its range cooker, its immense custom-made varnished steel worktop, and its ample storage all contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.

The sleeping area comprises three peaceful havens, including a spectacular 40m² master suite with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom (shower, bathtub, toilet, and double vanity).
Two additional master suites ensure complete privacy for guests or family.
For creative professionals or those in the liberal professions, a dedicated room (with independent access) of approximately 22m² and its 43m² mezzanine offer the tranquility necessary for remote work or receiving clients, without compromising privacy.

A fourth bedroom, two toilets, and a laundry room with cupboards and a sink complete this single-level home.

The 1100m² grounds, enclosed and secured by an electric gate, are an ode to well-being.

The terrace extends the living area, featuring a therapeutic spa for moments of absolute relaxation under an ideal southeast exposure.

The workshop, a separate building of approximately 30 m² with its own wine cellar and mezzanine, remains to be finished. The tiled garage, with direct access to the house, is a 40 m² space with an automatic door, a utility room, and a boiler room, complemented by a storage attic.

An additional room, specifically designed for our four-legged companions, underscores the meticulous attention to detail in this renovation.

Blending industrial heritage with absolute comfort, this rehabilitation successfully combines spaciousness and functionality.
