La Rochelle, Charente 17000

Located in the heart of La Rochelle's historic center, this former townhouse, built around 1850, sits on a plot of about 730 m² organized with a reception courtyard and a French garden. Constructed for a local La Rochelle family, the ensemble presents an orderly architecture characteristic of the period, developed on several levels. The façades, sober and regular, dialogue with the exterior spaces, forming a coherent, readable, and preserved whole. Inside, the layout revolves around a central axis serving reception rooms with generous volumes. The ceiling heights, original woodwork, parquet floors, and joinery contribute to the continuity of the ensemble. Circulation spaces, visual breaks, and the relationship to the garden define the experience of the place. The house features six bedrooms distributed across the floors, in a configuration faithful to its original setup. A renovation campaign started in 2003 allowed for the restoration of the façades, a complete re-roofing, replacement of window joinery, and adaptation of the interior spaces, including the creation of water rooms and a kitchen opening toward the garden. More recent interventions have addressed the networks, heating system, and certain structural elements, ensuring technical continuity at the building scale. At the rear, the French garden, organized with a geometric composition, extends the living spaces within a vegetated setting, shielded from view. A dependency at the rear of the plot, comprising three rooms, completes the ensemble. The location, set back and tranquil, combined with the depth of the plot and the quality of the exterior spaces, gives this place an exceptional configuration in the historic center. A homogeneous ensemble whose interest lies in the permanence of its original elements, the readability of its organization, and the quality of its placement. Fees include 4.68% VAT to the buyer.
