Charme Des Années 1930 Et Atmosphère De « Maison De Campagne » Au Cœur De La Genette

Just a five-minute walk from the heart of La Rochelle, this 1930s home offers an unexpected living environment: the feeling of a true escape to the countryside, nestled in the highly sought-after Genette neighborhood. Carefully and tastefully renovated in 2011, it combines the authenticity of its period features with a layout redesigned for modern living comfort.

From the moment you enter—where you’ll find convenient storage and a guest restroom—the house reveals fluid, open spaces inspired by the double living rooms typical of its era. First, you’ll discover a spacious office that flows naturally into a cozy living room centered around a working fireplace.

Continuing on, natural light takes center stage thanks to a magnificent studio-style sunroom. This reception area—ideal for dining while enjoying the outdoor view—connects to an intermediate room serving as a dining nook with storage, which in turn leads to the separate kitchen.

Upstairs, the sleeping area is designed to be peaceful. The landing leads to three spacious bedrooms, two of which face the garden, offering the privilege of an exceptionally unobstructed view of the greenery. A well-designed bathroom (shower, double sinks, and toilet) completes this level. For practicality, a large basement serving as a cellar provides ample storage space.

The Garden and “Le Chalet”: A Taste of the South in the City
The true charm of this home lies outdoors. Beyond the veranda terrace lies a large landscaped garden, meticulously maintained. Lined with pine and cypress trees, it exudes an almost Provençal atmosphere, offering a rare sense of calm for such a central location.

Tucked away at the very back of this lush green setting is “Le Chalet.” This charming outbuilding, recognizable by its architecture and the red trim beneath the gutters, currently serves as a guest suite with its own bathroom. It’s a space that lets your imagination run wild—you could turn it into a private office, an artist’s studio, or a guest bedroom.

A home full of character, combining the serenity of a large, tree-lined garden with immediate proximity to La Rochelle’s city life.
