Maison de caractère

At the turn of a street, near the old town of Hyères in the Var, an ironwork gate announces the entrance to a rare habitat.

The paved, planted, and confidential courtyard reveals an exposed stone facade whose lines are punctuated by large sliding bay windows. Beyond the threshold, a vast 67 sqm floor space opens up to view: a fluid living space, designed for conviviality and elegance. Here, the living room, dining room, and open kitchen are all one, bathed in light and dressed in meticulously chosen materials. The renovation, as respectful of the old building as exemplary in its finishes, reveals a strong contemporary sensibility. Designer furniture, iconic objects, and a cozy atmosphere blend perfectly with the soul of the place. On the ground floor, a space that can be converted into a vestibule leading to the main room, or a laundry room or showroom, could easily be transformed into an independent studio or professional space depending on needs. A shower room and separate toilet complete this level. An elegant suspended staircase with solid oak steps in front of a stone wall leads upstairs. The first 17 sqm bedroom has its own shower room and wall-mounted toilet. A bay window opens onto a 10 sqm terrace with breathtaking views of the hill and the castle. Two other bedrooms, bathed in light, share a refined shower room. One of them benefits from a double exposure and a vast, unexpected triangular terrace, promising sunny breakfasts. The top level houses the master suite, a cocoon under more than 3 meters of height under the ridge. The view of the castle hill is magnificent. The adjoining bathroom evokes the codes of a high-end hotel: freestanding bathtub, double sink, spacious shower, Grohe faucets, and immaculate finishes. Comfort is omnipresent: Daikin reversible air conditioning, oak parquet flooring, electric blinds and skylights, integrated lighting, video protection, maximum insulation… The attic, already optimized to accommodate technical equipment, can be transformed into a dressing room or custom-made storage space. In the city center, a stone’s throw from amenities, this property, redesigned according to the rules of the art, offers a rare freedom of use: family home, architect’s residence, or ideal address for a liberal profession. A place of character where every detail counts, for those in search of exception.
