A former historic and refined private mansion in the very heart of the city

In the heart of Niort’s city center, hidden behind a monumental ceremonial gate erected in 1790 in the style of a small neoclassical triumphal arch and listed as a historical monument, this elegant 1878 bourgeois residence offers 276 square meters of refined living space.

Formerly the private mansion of the Charrier de La Marcadière family, this exceptional eight-room property brilliantly combines historical significance, generous proportions, and high-end amenities in a private setting. Upon entering, superb period cement tiles with timeless motifs reveal the nobility of the place. The ground floor features a refined living room with a pink marble fireplace, extending on one side to a conservatory with a glass roof overlooking the garden and swimming pool, and on the other to a reception room with parquet flooring adorned with ornate niches.

A contemporary eat-in kitchen opens onto the terrace through a glass roof, while a cozy office is illuminated by backlit stained-glass windows. Upstairs, spacious landings lead to a first floor with a light-filled bathroom and two bedrooms, one with a dressing room and the other with an en-suite shower room. The second floor also provides access to two charming bedrooms, including a master suite with a dressing room and en-suite shower room.

Outside, the intimate courtyard garden features a sunny terrace and a heated swimming pool, promising urban tranquility. A jewel of the estate, a 40 sq m detached pavilion dating from 1878, also a listed building, offers remarkable potential as an artist’s studio or guest house, ripe for renovation. A large, enclosed garage, an invaluable asset in the heart of the city, completes the comfort of this property.

A subtle blend of Enlightenment classicism, 19th-century architecture, and contemporary comfort, this exceptional property embodies the very essence of a truly unique and captivating home, ideal for elegant family living or a prestigious bed and breakfast project.
