Célestin & Ernestine Charming Residence With Exceptional Renovation In The Heart Of Kervalet

Demeures Marines exclusively unveils ”Célestin & Ernestine,” a charming residence of approximately 185 m2 of living space, nestled in the heart of Kervalet, an old salt worker village of Batz-sur-Mer. Behind its stone facade with blue-gray shutters, this house from 1730 gracefully traverses the centuries. Its owners have given it a new life through an exceptional renovation, where respect for its history meets the comfort and elegance of today.
The cut stones, ancient niches, and sculpted corbels tell the story of this beautiful stone residence, a unique place that is deeply warm. Inside, the beams and stone walls coexist with contemporary lines, carefully chosen materials, and a few design touches. A subtle dialogue between the eras, which allows the character of the house to shine through.
The renovation has been thought out in the smallest details. The volumes have been freed, the circulation reimagined, and the openings chosen to let in light and offer beautiful views of the garden. Each space naturally finds its place. One can feel the care, sensitivity, and attachment with which this residence has been restored.
On the ground floor, three living rooms follow one another, each with its own atmosphere. A living room reveals a stone fireplace, a testament to the house’s ancient character. The dining room and its open kitchen, dressed with a granite countertop from Zimbabwe, form a convivial space where one loves to gather. A second living room offers an intimate pause for reading, watching a movie, or simply enjoying the calm. It could also become a ground-floor suite.
Two staircases elegantly illustrate the meeting of past and present. The first, made of wood, has retained all its original charm. The second, designed by an architect and made in Belgium, asserts its sculptural steel silhouette. A contemporary signature that contrasts with the softness of the ancient stones.
Upstairs, a suite with a shower room, a second bedroom, a bathroom, and a laundry room compose the sleeping area. A spacious mezzanine accommodates an office, with the possibility of converting it into an additional bedroom.
Under the eaves, a suite with a shower room reveals itself, enveloped by the ancient beams. Magnificent stained glass windows, bearers of memory, add a touch of poetry and color. A unique refuge, where every detail seems to tell a story.
The garden, entirely enclosed by stone walls, offers rare intimacy in the heart of the village. The wooden terraces extend the living spaces and welcome lunches in the sun, reading in the shade, and long summer evenings. An old well, a witness to the past, watches over this little garden sheltered from prying eyes.
A garage with a mezzanine, particularly valuable in the alleys of Kervalet, completes the property.
In Kervalet, life follows the rhythm of the marshes and the ocean. The intact charm of a salt worker village can be found, with its stone alleys, small chapel, and ancient houses. From the residence, paths invite long walks amidst the salt flats. The beaches are accessible by bike, for an impromptu swim or a few hours facing the Atlantic.
”Célestin & Ernestine” is a house that feels loved. A house that has preserved traces of the past while offering it a new way of being inhabited. A place of character, elegant and enveloping, where the authenticity of the stone, the beauty of the materials, and the care given to every detail simply make one want to stay.
