A Striking House, With An Estate Keeper’s Lodge In More Than 5,000 M² Of Grounds, Less Than

A striking house, with an estate keeper’s lodge in more than 5,000 m² of grounds, less than 50 km from Paris, in a village full of character. This edifice is situated in the upper part of a village on the banks of the River Seine, between Fontainebleau Forest and Sénart Forest, in the middle of more than 5,400 m² of tree-lined, almost entirely walled grounds. This striking house, locally known as an ‘Affolante’ and emblematic of holiday homes along the River Seine, boasts 375 m² of living space and a unique architectural style, dominated by an octagonal tower previously compared to the one at Gare de Lyon by the village’s inhabitants. It was rebuilt at the turn of the 20th century by a Parisian businessman and art enthusiast. It has retained the elegance of its classic appearance and the Japanese-inspired studio perched in the tower’s belvedere, with surrounding balcony, painted panelling and panoramic view.

The house, the majority of which has been restored and regularly maintained, combines authenticity with modern comfort. The light-coloured façades are punctuated with horizontal recesses and large windows. Inside, moulding, cornices, coloured stained glass, marble fireplaces, plus chevron patterned and English bond wood flooring pay witness to the constant care lavished upon preserving the period decorative features. The property also includes an approximately 110-m² estate keeper’s lodge renovated fifteen years ago. Within the grounds, there are also a well and a 19th-century greenhouse.
