Character home

Choosing a character home

What exactly is a character home ? A building with period character? A mansion? However you define it, it’s always a home you fall instantly in love with !

When do you fall under the spell of a house ? When it clearly displays a century of architectural heritage or when it has the most beautiful features (an expansive glass roof, a sculpted facade, oak parquet flooring, an infinity pool…)? Well, of course, it’s definitely both! In the property world, a character home (maison de charme) is the term used to describe a period house with something special that sets it apart from others; a house with intangible je ne sais quoi and high market value: a large maison bourgeoise, for example, or a mansion perhaps.
