Lights and stories for this former artist’s studio in St Prix

In the heart of the old village of Saint-Prix, on the very edge of the Montmorency forest, this former artist’s studio, built in 1894 for the painter Albert Maignan, embodies the architectural elegance of the late 19th century. Nestled on a plot of approximately 490 sqm, with a total living area of 670 sqm, this seven-room residence offers a unique and historically rich living environment.

The entrance is on a level dedicated to the workspace, ideal for remote work or a professional practice. This office is enhanced by a monumental period fireplace equipped with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm atmosphere upon arrival. This level also includes a functional laundry room and a separate WC.

A magnificent period staircase leads to the true garden level. This open-plan living area features a light-filled double living room with direct access to the terrace and garden. A kitchen with a pantry, as well as a first bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a separate WC, complete this level.

The upper floor comprises the rest of the sleeping area, with three additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a third separate WC. Each space has been designed to preserve the artistic character of the property while offering modern residential comfort.

The exterior spaces and outbuildings are a major asset. Extensive technical and storage areas (approximately 124 sq m) complement the property, including a vaulted cellar, several other cellars, a bicycle storage room, storage space under the terrace, and a covered parking area. The idyllic garden and paved courtyard complete this exceptional property. Nestled between historical heritage and a preserved natural setting, this unique residence stands out as an exceptional haven. The limited size of the property, combined with the functionality of its spacious outbuildings and its wooded surroundings, makes it a truly exceptional place to live, ideal for combining creative inspiration and family life in the heart of a charming village.
