House with contemporary extension on an island and its wooded garden

This charming house, located on the Île de la Dérivation in Carrières-sous-Poissy, prized for its calm and relaxing atmosphere, was extended in 2014 with a very contemporary wooden addition, bringing the total living space to 108 sqm of comfort and tranquility in harmony with the surrounding nature. Its two terraces, facing east and west, allow you to choose between sun and shade as you please.

The island is accessible on foot, by bicycle, motorcycle, or quad bike via a footbridge overlooking the lock, which has been disused since 1977 but still bears the marks of the boatmen. The house, ideally situated, offers exceptional and peaceful views of the Seine. The living/dining room, which shares 42 sqm with the open-plan kitchen, benefits from a breathtaking view of the river thanks to its large bay window and provides access to a 22 sqm wooden terrace. A wood-burning stove enhances this beautiful living space. After a flight of stairs, the main floor comprises two bedrooms, one of which includes a study area.

The mezzanine level offers a large laundry room, storage space, and a shower room. A small, fully renovated, independent house provides 20 square meters of living space, including a mezzanine that would be perfect for a teenager, a guest room, or even an office–ideal for a professional practice. An open lean-to, attached to this house, provides storage for firewood and parking for bicycles or motorcycles. A secure, enclosed garage on the quayside is available free of charge to the owners. Ample parking is also available along the riverbank.

The bus stop is 100 meters from the footbridge and will take you to Poissy train station in 10 minutes, where you can take the TER J regional train: 18 minutes from Saint-Lazare station, with trains every 20 minutes during peak hours. – RER A: 20 minutes from La Défense and 35 minutes from Châtelet-Les Halles, trains every 12 minutes during peak hours; – Eole line under construction…
