The art of living in the heart of old Maule

Nestled on a quiet, historic street, this 18th-century building (1703) underwent a complete and passionate renovation in 2021. Located on one of Maule's most iconic and historic streets, this 18th-century building benefited from a complete and passionate renovation in 2021. Offering 158.85 sqm of living space (263.90 sqm of floor space), it provides an atypical living experience where the charm of the old--cut stone, monumental beams, and lime-washed walls--harmoniously blends with refined contemporary comfort. It offers a unique haven for those who appreciate places with character. A Ground Floor Bathed in Light and Nature: From the moment you enter, the 65 sqm living space feels vast and serene. The open-plan living area recedes into a wide opening, literally inviting the garden inside and offering direct, level access to a first terrace. Bathed in striking zenithal light, it enhances the textures and volumes throughout the day. The dining area and open-plan kitchen, complete with a welcoming bar, form the true heart of the home and remains connected to these reception areas for seamless living. The split-level layout of the house ensures a smooth flow. The office: a haven with a view. This is a true sanctuary. Defined by a stunning handcrafted wooden glass partition that lends it a workshop feel, it opens generously to the outdoors. A veritable observation post, it offers a beautiful, unobstructed view of the garden, allowing for quiet work while enjoying the serenity of nature. An inspiring, light-filled retreat where the charm of the old meets the functionality of a contemporary workspace. The Master Suite: A Charming Sanctuary. Located on the first floor, the 22 sqm master suite is a true centerpiece, blending historical elegance with modern comfort. This generous space is distinguished by its open layout: the bedroom harmoniously integrates a bathroom area with a freestanding bathtub with a light wood surround, creating a hotel suite atmosphere. Exposed beams on the ceiling and wall complement a magnificent antique black marble fireplace, while the window opens onto the old Maule stonework, offering soft light that enhances the whitewashed walls. A second bedroom of 18 sqm, with its deep sage green accent wall, is complemented by tasteful décor featuring raw wood shelving. The generous size allows for a king-size bed and ample storage, while maintaining a fluid flow. Under the eaves, with its impressive ceiling height, the top floor houses a bathroom and two additional bedrooms, designed as secluded retreats. The mini suite: This bright room benefits from uniquely shaped geometric windows and a Velux skylight, offering a sweeping view over the village rooftops. It has its own glass-enclosed shower, ideal for a teenager or guests. The "Refuge" Room: More intimate, it showcases the house's massive timber frame. Its skylight provides beautiful zenithal light, creating a particularly peaceful space for reading or relaxing, and from the bed, a second window offers a glimpse of the street and the historic rooftops of Maule. The exterior is a rare gem in the town center. The garden holds other treasures: a second terrace with a summer kitchen, a pond with colorful fish, a 13.32 sqm artist's studio, a spacious 67.93 sqm garage, and a large, authentic chicken coop for a "country in the city" feel. A 23 sqm cellar in the basement completes the property. Despite being three centuries old, the house boasts an excellent energy performance certificate (DPE) rating of C thanks to its 2023 heat pump. Located a stone's throw from shops, schools, and the Maule market, it offers the luxury of being able to walk everywhere, just 8 minutes from the train station (Line N to Paris-Montparnasse). An exceptional property for those seeking the rarity of a central location combined with the tranquility of a secluded garden.
