Tastefully renovated family home with character

Just minutes from the center of Lyon, this former 15th-century orangery, redesigned in 2020 by an architect, offers an unexpected break combining old-world charm with an exceptional contemporary renovation. Behind an atypical facade, a 165 sqm family home spread over three levels is revealed.

From the entrance, the tone is set: generous volumes, flooding light, and carefully selected materials. The 48 sqm living space consists of a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, a dining area, and a living room with a large opening giving direct access to a beautiful travertine terrace, naturally extending the living space. Continuing on, an intimate garden allows you to fully enjoy sunny moments, sheltered from view.

Still on the ground floor, a first bedroom with a private bathroom allows for comfortable entertaining.
A laundry room and toilet complete this level.

Upstairs, a spacious and bright master suite with a walk-in closet and double shower room adjoins two other bedrooms, featuring beautiful finishes in a revisited Haussmann style. An elegant bathroom and separate toilet complete this sleeping area designed for family life.

On the top level, a mezzanine of over 16 sqm, with exposed stone, is currently converted into a games room/TV lounge but can also be used as a 5th bedroom.
Outside, the amenities live up to the promises. At the front, a courtyard can park up to four vehicles. At the rear, the 250 sqm garden feels like an extension of the living room: well-kept vegetation, vegetable patch, shed, and outdoor lighting. The whole is designed to take full advantage of mild summer evenings, in complete privacy. An 11 sqm workshop will delight DIY enthusiasts or artists looking for a dedicated space.

On the technical side, the renovation is impeccable: interior insulation redone, roof renovated, new joinery with motorized roller shutters. The efficient heating system, with a condensing gas boiler, is complemented by reversible air conditioning upstairs. All this contributes to the excellent energy performance, attested by a DPE classified C.

No work is required: this house is delivered turnkey, in remarkable condition.

The location in a peaceful neighborhood also remains an asset with quick access to transport, schools and shops, as well as to the Oullins and Pierre-Bénite train stations, facilitating travel to the center of Lyon. The house elegantly fits into its era while retaining its soul. Thus, this unique residence will appeal to families seeking space and serenity, or even lovers of places steeped in history, revisited with talent.
