Architect-designed house from the 1970s with graphic lines in Jouy-en-Josas

Hidden from view at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Metz district of Jouy-en-Josas, this striking 1970s architect-designed house unfolds its unique proportions and bold geometric design in an absolutely tranquil setting. From the moment you enter, the tone is set by a majestic, cathedral-ceilinged living room of 46 square meters.

Bathed in light thanks to its large bay windows and floor-to-ceiling windows, the living room is crowned by a wooden mezzanine that accentuates the verticality of the space. The charm is immediately apparent thanks to the subtle interplay of split levels: a sunken living room with herringbone parquet flooring, designed as an intimate gathering space, faces a beautiful, softly toned, built-in fireplace. Adjacent to this, a dining area is nestled against a spacious eat-in kitchen with clean, contemporary lines that recede into the background, allowing for panoramic views of the terrace.

The "indoor-outdoor" concept, a true guiding principle of the house, is beautifully realized here. The living spaces open directly onto a vast wooden terrace and an exotically landscaped garden, promising idyllic summer evenings in complete privacy.

The ground floor also houses a master suite designed as a haven. It features a mirrored dressing room that visually expands the space, a second open dressing room leading to the contemporary bathroom, which blends slate, warm wood, and glass with a large walk-in shower.

The upper floor, accessed by a striking staircase combining wood and metal, leads to the sleeping area, comprised of three bedrooms, each with its own unique atmosphere. One of them, with its sloping ceiling and custom-built closets, offers an intimate retreat. The second bedroom opens onto a continuous balcony, while the third, the true centerpiece of this level, offers direct access to a vast private rooftop terrace. An exceptional solarium, suspended between the sky and the treetops. A bathroom with a bold decorative style, adorned with a beautiful mosaic in a retro-chic style, completes this floor.

Finally, a full basement, with direct interior and exterior access, offers an extraordinary raw space. It allows for complete creative freedom to design a gym, workshop, home theater, or ample storage areas, and a large covered porch provides parking for two cars and motorcycles.

Bold architecture, generous proportions, and remarkable flow make this house a unique living space, ideally combining the tranquility of a wooded setting with the immediate proximity of major roads and Parisian employment hubs.
