Family spirit and inspired proportions, a house with old-world charm in Ennery

Located in the heart of the sought-after village of Ennery, hidden from view, this former pre-1948 house has been given a contemporary makeover that enhances its historic lines. Boasting nearly 198 m² of living space (over 246 m² of floor space), this residence is an ideal home for those who appreciate authenticity and unique proportions.

Once you step through the entrance, where a beautiful staircase leads to the upper floors, the magic begins. The ground floor reveals a magnificent 44 m² reception room with its authentic, monumental carved stone fireplace, complemented by a wood-burning stove, the centerpiece of the living room. This central living and dining area flows seamlessly into a separate kitchen.

Below, a superb vaulted cellar, reimagined as a 16 m² office, blends historical charm with practical functionality. On the bedroom side, the transition to the outside is via a wide hallway that skirts a living room reminiscent of an indoor garden. It leads to a large, ground-floor bedroom extending onto a private terrace overlooking the garden. A 12 sq m laundry/shower room, a separate bathroom, and a boiler room/workshop complete this level, where circulation is perfectly orchestrated.

The house naturally extends into a superb landscaped village garden, completely secluded. A true haven of greenery enclosed by stone walls, this outdoor space artfully alternates paved terraces, flowerbeds, and shrubs. A fish pond adds interest to the dining area and its summer barbecue. In the center of the garden, an oval swimming pool blends seamlessly into the lawn to preserve the view, offering a playful and inviting spot of coolness in the heart of this secluded retreat.

Back in the entrance hall, the staircase leads to the first floor, arranged around a landing that provides access to three attractive bedrooms (ranging from 10 to 21 sq m), ample built-in storage, and a separate bathroom. The rooms, with their clean lines and warm parquet floors, benefit from abundant natural light and a calming perspective.

The top floor, nestled under the eaves, reveals the true “refuge” spirit of the house. A large attic room (over 35 sq m of floor space) can be transformed into a guest suite, an artist’s studio, or a playroom, its texture enhanced by the sloping roof, complete with a dedicated bathroom. From a technical standpoint, the blend of modern comfort and traditional charm is perfectly executed: the house is equipped with a state-of-the-art (2022) condensing gas boiler offering individual room temperature control, guaranteeing excellent energy efficiency (rated D).

What we love: * The soul of the old building subtly blended with contemporary living spaces and the walled village garden, a true haven of secret and intimate greenery.

– The double reception room (living room + lounge) totaling over 60 m² of convivial space.

– The layout offering everyone their own space for expression and privacy.

– The preserved living environment of Ennery, combining village tranquility with proximity to amenities.
