Maison à vendre, 255m², Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

Description

Historic Character Property in the Heart of Saint-Remy-de-Provence Ideally situated in the historic centre of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, close to one of the village’s most picturesque squares and just steps from its restaurants, galleries, cafes and shops, this remarkable character property offers a rare opportunity to experience the Provençal lifestyle entirely on foot. Rich in history and authentic Provencal charm, the house incorporates 16th-century stonework and retains a wealth of original architectural features. Generous proportions, ceilings reaching approximately 4 metres, exposed beams, stone floors and a magnificent fireplace create a warm yet elegant atmosphere throughout. One of the property’s most exceptional features is its 50 m2 rooftop terrace. Wonderfully private and open to the Provençal sky, it provides a rare outdoor living space in the heart of the village, with breathtaking views across the historic rooftops towards the surrounding landscape and Alpilles hills. It is an ideal setting for long lunches, evening drinks, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Arranged over several levels, the house offers spacious and characterful living areas. The beautiful stone-vaulted dining room is a particular highlight, while the spacious kitchen, with its central island and impressive ceiling height, provides a convivial setting for everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the property, the combination of stone, timber and generous volumes creates a distinctly Provençal atmosphere while offering the comfort and flexibility required for modern living. The property currently offers four bedrooms and three shower rooms, with the potential to create a fifth bedroom if required. The principal suite comprises a bedroom, sitting area, shower room and private terrace. A second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an additional shower room. A further room, currently arranged as a study/laundry room, could potentially be converted into a fifth bedroom, depending on the requirements of the future owner. Adding to the individuality of the house is a distinctive split-level TV/sitting room and study, connected internally by a timber staircase, with each level also independently accessible from the main staircase. This unusual arrangement provides a flexible space that could be adapted to suit a variety of uses. Two additional guest WCs with washbasins provide further convenience. Air conditioning brings modern-day comfort to this atmospheric village home, complementing a property steeped in centuries of history. Combining 16th-century stonework, impressive volumes, authentic Provençal architecture, four to five bedrooms and an exceptional 50 m2 rooftop terrace, this is a rare opportunity in one of Provence’s most sought-after villages. Above all, the exceptional location places everything Saint-Remy has to offer within easy walking distance, from morning coffee in a picturesque square and the weekly Provencal market to restaurants, galleries and boutiques, while the private rooftop terrace provides a peaceful retreat above the heart of the village.
