Character property with double loft and artist’s studio

EXCLUSIVE LISTING Just 20 km south of Paris, Villiers-sur-Orge enjoys a privileged setting in the heart of the Orge Valley. This sought-after town in northern Essonne is appealing for its verdant surroundings, residential atmosphere, and proximity to the major business hubs of southern Paris.
Located in the heart of the town center, this 19th-century property is unique in its blend of heritage and contemporary architecture. Offering approximately 340 sq m of living space, it sits within a fully walled complex, organized around a paved courtyard at the front and an intimate garden at the rear.

The house reveals its character from the moment you enter, opening onto a spacious ground-floor room, designed as a true transition space between the different areas of the property and complemented by a small sitting room.
Extending from this, the heart of the house revolves around a loft-style living room, spectacular in its proportions. The cathedral ceiling, the majestic fireplace, and the large bay windows that open the room onto the garden create a space that is both warm and contemporary, particularly well-suited for entertaining.
Centrally located, the kitchen integrates seamlessly into this ensemble and fully contributes to the convivial atmosphere.

Adjoining this is a second, generously proportioned loft housing a library and also benefiting from large windows opening onto the outside. This more intimate space is ideal for gathering, reading, or simply enjoying the light and the views of the garden.
This level is completed by a bedroom, a bathroom, and a powder room.

Upstairs, the artistic soul of the property is fully revealed with a large, light-filled painting studio, opening onto the garden through large bay windows and extending onto a private balcony. Extending from the main house, a second, generously sized attic workshop offers a more intimate and peaceful atmosphere.

Currently used as an office, it can remain so or be transformed into a workspace, creative space, or reading area, depending on your preferences. Two large bedrooms are also located on this level. Each has its own office space, bathroom, and toilet, providing its occupants with true independence.
The property also features an independent adjoining wing, comprising two rooms, a bow window entrance, and a toilet. This space presents a significant additional opportunity: it could be converted into a separate apartment, a dedicated workspace, or an office for a professional practice, depending on the future owner’s needs.

Outside, the property retains all its charm with a paved courtyard, a secluded garden with mature trees, a summer kitchen, and a pond adorned with a fountain and aquatic plants.

This intimate and private setting naturally extends the living spaces of the house. With its history, spacious layout, abundant natural light, and diverse living areas, this property offers a rare blend of period charm and contemporary style.

Designed as much for entertaining as for living, its various layouts allow for a multitude of uses, both personal and professional. Shops and schools are within easy walking distance.
