Maison à vendre, 241m², Meudon

Description

The property gate opens at the start of a private road a short distance from the station, giving onto a lush garden through which the house is approached and gradually revealed. Designed by a renowned interior architect and organised entirely around this garden, it requires no work. An entrance hall serves a first bedroom with its own shower room and gives onto a corridor lined with built-in wardrobes, the corridor leads in turn to a separate lavatory and a small room fitted as a workshop. Two large openings give into a sitting room of exceptional proportions, with the ceiling rising to 4.5 m. On two sides, expanses of glazing bring the garden fully into the room a working fireplace occupies the third wall, flanked by a pair of bespoke bookcases that reach to the ceiling. On the garden side, a few steps climb to a comfortable dining room extending into an open kitchen with generous, well-organised storage here too the garden fills the large windows. Roof lights throughout the house draw in light from above. A back kitchen, equipped with a second sink, gives access to the utility room. Below the dining room, the principal bedroom has a spacious dressing room and a private bathroom a glazed frieze along one wall keeps the garden constantly in view. Equally comfortable in winter and summer, when nights remain cool, it offers ideal conditions year-round. Behind the sitting room's far wall, a cleverly concealed staircase rises to a mezzanine housing a study and a library, with access from there to a further bright bedroom and a shower room with lavatory. At the entrance to the property, a covered shelter provides parking and an electric vehicle charging point a second car can be parked in the drive. An outbuilding of approximately 50 m² has been fitted as a home cinema with a retractable giant screen, a shower room with lavatory, and a small gym. The Sitting RoomDeserving particular attention for its proportions, natural light, garden views, and the quality of its materials, the nearly 70 m² sitting room is painted throughout in white and its ceiling rises from 3.5 m to 4.5 m. Two distinct areas articulate the room: a grand salon furnished with a generously sized sofa, 3 m long, a long coffee table, and armchairs and an intimate petit salon facing the fireplace, framed by two tall bookcases. The floor throughout is period solid parquet, sourced in Belgium. Equally suited to quiet evenings and larger gatherings, the room sits below the mezzanine the staircase leading to it is concealed behind a white wall wit an antique secrétaire. At the far end, an open concrete staircase, white and apparently suspended, rises to the dining room, floored in the same parquet.The ourbuildongExtending to around 50 m², it houses a home cinema fitted with a large retractable screen, a shower room and lavatory, and, via its own entrance, a small gym. Should future needs require it, the gym could be opened into the main room and partitions added to convert the building into a self-contained dwelling of one or two bedrooms, or into one or more professional offices.The gardenEstablished from bare ground by the current owners, this exuberant English-style garden screens the house from outside view and lends it the atmosphere of a country retreat. Fig, perennial geranium, anemone, Japanese maple, purple loosestrife, ox-eye daisy, wisteria, birch, sacred bamboo, snowball viburnum, and dog rose mingle and give way to one another through the seasons, each angle of the garden revealing a different composition. Every room in the house looks onto this changing sequence. An automatic irrigation system sustains it year-round, and in summer the garden becomes a cool and secluded haven.
