Family home with outbuilding and private dock in Joinville le Pont

Just minutes from Paris, in an almost unexpected setting, this 141-square-meter family home seems to belong to a different rhythm, a different era. Behind its verdant facade, the building appears as a stage set, untouched by time. Virginia creeper climbs the walls, roses add vibrant splashes of red to the garden, while mature trees frame the house with an almost painterly gentleness.

Here, charm isn’t ostentatious; it reveals itself slowly. The main house offers three bedrooms and retains an authentic layout, a testament to a different way of living: an intimate study, adjoining living and dining rooms, and a kitchen opening onto a striking veranda reminiscent of a winter garden.

This unique space, somewhere between a greenhouse and a pavilion, serves as a true link between the house and the outdoors. Upstairs, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room comprise the sleeping quarters.

The entire property needs a complete refresh, but that’s precisely where its promise lies. It offers rare potential. A separate 65 sq m outbuilding opens up a world of possibilities: a guest house, space for grown children, a workshop, offices, a professional or creative activity space, A flexible space, capable of accommodating numerous lifestyle projects.

Outside, the grounds tell a story in two parts. At the front, an almost romantic garden, structured by beautiful flowerbeds, old roses, and mature trees that filter the light like a living painting. At the rear, the atmosphere changes. Freer, wilder, more bohemian. A large terrace, a dining area, the ambiance of a private outdoor café–and then the ultimate surprise: a private bank on the Marne River. The whole property now requires a fresh perspective, energy, ambition, and a true vision.

It will need clearing away the clutter, rethinking, and ultimately, transforming into something sublime. But for those who can envision the potential of this place, the reward will be immense. Joinville-le-Pont has always cultivated a gentle way of life. Its gourmet shops and immediate proximity to Paris make it a vibrant and sought-after address. The house’s location is a true asset for an active and privileged family life.

In the immediate vicinity of the banks of the Marne, Île Fanac, and the Polangis promenades, the house offers a rare living environment, ideal for bike rides, runs, or water sports (rowing, paddleboarding, kayaking).

The Parc du Tremblay, Joinville’s sports facilities, and the iconic riverside cafes along the Marne complete this convivial and desirable lifestyle. Parking is available on the property as well as in a secure area reserved for residents.

This house is not for those seeking perfection. It is for those seeking authenticity.

A place with character. A house simply waiting for its second life. RER A Joinville-le-Pont: 18-minute walk, 7-minute bike ride.
