Hyper Centre De La Rochelle Maison De Caractère Avec 5 Chambres à Quelques Pas Du Vieux Port

There are homes that captivate from the very first glance.

Situated in the historic centre of La Rochelle, just 300 metres from the Old Port, 150 metres from the parks and a stone’s throw from the shopping streets, this Art Nouveau-style house, built around 1900, with around 270 m² of living space and built over four floors, combines historic cachet, generous volumes and urban quality of life, all in a peaceful, elegant atmosphere.

From the outside, the house asserts its identity with a sculpted stone façade decorated with floral motifs and pointed arches. A wrought iron balcony underlines the elegance of the upper floor, while the slate roof completes the noble ensemble.

Accessed by a few steps, the raised entrance gives it a bourgeois feel, while ensuring privacy from the street.
The interior of the house reflects all the richness and refinement of its era. The oak herringbone parquet flooring, mouldings, wood panelling and marble fireplaces create a cosy, warm atmosphere full of character. The central spiral staircase with its wrought-iron handrail leads elegantly upwards in a star pattern.

A ground floor for convivial receptions.

This level houses the main living areas: a study-library that could be used for independent professional purposes, a double reception room comprising a luminous dining room and a large lounge separated from each other by a wooden partition with three double doors - a rare arrangement in old buildings, allowing the volumes to be adapted to suit requirements.
The kitchen is spacious and functional, with an adjoining pantry. It opens onto a large interior terrace, ideal for summer meals or moments of relaxation. Three separate entrances link the house to this 90 m2 courtyard-terrace, covered in teak, planted with trees, sunny and sheltered. At the back of the courtyard is a storage shed.
A cloakroom and guest toilet complete this level.

First floor: suites and family comfort

On the street side, the first floor features a bedroom with en suite shower room and a study/reading room opening onto a balcony, and on the courtyard side, a master suite with en suite dressing room and a vast two-piece bathroom with bath and shower. A separate toilet completes the ensemble.

The quality materials, high ceilings and numerous windows provide constant natural light and comfort at all times.

Second floor: space for children, guests or independent project.

The top floor offers three additional bedrooms, ideal for a large family, friends or guests. It also includes a shower room with toilet and a washroom.

Finally, a workshop with water point completes this level. This room could easily be converted into a sixth bedroom, games room, separate study or other space as required.

The house has a large, perfectly ventilated cellar. This space offers many possibilities: storage, wine conservation, workshop, leisure room, etc.
Private parking just a few minutes’ walk away completes this property, a valuable advantage in this sought-after neighbourhood.
