The architect-designed house from the 1970s and its landscaped grounds in Gif-sur-Yvette

Just 24 km southwest of Paris, in the heart of the Chevreuse Valley Regional Natural Park, this 1970s architect-designed house embodies the charm and creative freedom of its era. Located ten minutes from the Saclay Plateau, a five-minute walk from shops, and fifteen minutes from the Courcelles-sur-Yvette RER B station, it enjoys an ideal location between unspoiled nature and urban vibrancy.

Built on a vast, wooded plot of 2,850 sqm, the property is distinguished by its unique architecture: a graphic roof with multiple ridges, generous volumes, and a light-filled interior. With 230 sqm of living space, it also includes a separate 36 sqm studio.

The grounds, a verdant haven, offer a peaceful setting where each season creates its own unique green tableau. From the moment you step inside, the tone is set: a bright entrance hall leads, on the left, to a charming period kitchen with a pantry and storage area. On the right, an elegant guest bedroom boasts its own private bathroom and ample storage.

Opposite the entrance, the spectacular cathedral-ceilinged living room, enhanced by a 7-meter ceiling height, exudes a grand atmosphere. A majestic Louis XIV-style solid oak bookcase takes pride of place, underscoring the unique character of the property. Large bay windows open onto a south-facing terrace, which extends into the landscaped gardens.

A few steps down, an intimate sitting room with an open fireplace invites relaxation. This leads to a second south-facing bedroom, complete with a study area and a shower room. To the east, a conservatory and its pergola open onto a secluded terrace, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. Upstairs, an elegant L-shaped mezzanine overlooks the living room and leads, on one side, to a third bedroom with an en-suite shower room and toilet, and on the other, to a light-filled boudoir offering a view overlooking the living room. A full basement includes a cellar, storage space, and the utility room.

Les Sablons Elementary School is 450 m away. The high school is 1.4 km away (4 minutes by car or 15 minutes on foot). Grandes Écoles and Paris-Saclay University are a 10-minute drive away.
