Private mansion of Napoleon III a few steps from Chatou train station

Located in Chatou, this Napoleon III-era private mansion, built around 1860, offers 311 m² of living space set within a 2,031 m² wooded plot. A true gem among prestigious properties in the western suburbs of Paris, this family home?which would benefit from some updating?combines 19th-century architectural elegance with an expansive, lush green park that includes an orchard.

The ground floor features light-filled reception rooms, distinguished by impressive ceiling heights, original flooring, and period fireplaces. A spacious entrance hall leads to an intimate living room, a formal dining room, and a fully fitted kitchen that opens out toward the natural surroundings. A standout feature of the property is a conservatory, which houses a library adorned with period stained glass and offers direct access to the park. The original staircase leads to the first floor, comprising three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, and a laundry/linen room. The second floor offers four additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a walk-in closet, with access to an attic space that could be converted. A full basement?complete with a utility area, boiler room, and authentic vaulted wine cellars?rounds out the interior layout.

The large, landscaped garden, which is entirely private and offers space for a swimming pool, includes a two-car garage, a gardening workshop, and?at the far end of the grounds?original rabbit hutches and an aviary. Situated just a three-minute walk from the RER A station?providing a twenty-minute connection to the center of Paris?the property perfectly balances a tranquil, verdant setting with immediate proximity to local amenities and the highly regarded schools found within the “loop of the Seine” (la boucle de la Seine). A rare example of preserved heritage, this character-filled residence will appeal to those with a taste for unique properties who wish to reimagine an exceptional space just outside the capital.
