In the heart of Carpentras’ historic center, behind its elegant façades and just steps from shops and the city’s iconic monuments, G Immobilier de Prestige presents an exceptional residence whose history is intertwined with that of the city.
Built at the end of the 18th century, at the very beginning of the 19th, on the site of an old commandery constructed along the Carpentras ramparts, this property holds a unique place in the city’s heritage. Old maps of Carpentras already show its location, making it one of the most remarkable historic homes in the city.
Its exceptional character also lies in a feature now almost impossible to find in a historic center: the property has absolutely no shared walls. Fully independent, it benefits from four free-standing façades, offering remarkable brightness.
Throughout its history, the last owner hosted the nuns from the Carpentras Hospital for many years before bequeathing the residence to the institution. The current owner then undertook a remarkable restoration, restoring the property’s full splendor and elegance from the late 18th century while integrating the comfort of contemporary renovation.
Spanning nearly 580 m² of floor space, plus 118 m² of garage, vast vaulted cellars, and a landscaped garden, this residence harmoniously combines heritage, spaciousness, and modern comfort. An elevator serves all levels, providing exceptional convenience for a property of this era.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable. A majestic stone staircase, accessible via an elegant double stairway bordered by a sculpted balustrade, leads to the imposing solid wood front door. An old stone fountain, integrated into the base of the staircase, tastefully recalls the history of this home and offers a particularly theatrical entrance.
Beyond this entrance, a spectacular through-hall reveals a monumental staircase bathed in light, the true backbone of the house. Ceiling heights near four meters, oak parquet floors, marble fireplaces, moldings, wood paneling, and antique chandeliers create a setting of rare elegance where every detail reflects the refinement of the original architecture.
The ground floor is entirely dedicated to reception areas, with nearly 135 m² of living space including a 34 m² dining room, a main living room of 32 m², a more intimate second lounge of 12 m², an office, and a large contemporary kitchen of 21 m², complemented by a pantry and laundry room.
The two upper floors currently house six bedrooms, including a magnificent 35 m² suite, several rooms ranging from 21 to 23 m², dressing rooms, a boudoir, an office, a studio, and six bathrooms or shower rooms, allowing for both family living and projects such as a guest house, reception venue, or restaurant.
Outside, the enclosed garden is a rare privilege in the heart of Carpentras. Centuries-old trees, an ancient fountain, terraces, and landscaped areas create a true green oasis, shielded from view.
The large 118 m² garage, vaulted cellars, and numerous outbuildings offer exceptional potential for classic cars, an art gallery, a professional activity, or any other large-scale project.
Because of its history, architecture, complete lack of shared walls, noble volumes, quality restoration, and the rare comfort provided by its elevator, this property is more than just a grand townhouse: it is one of the most beautiful historic residences in Carpentras, a unique living place where every stone tells over two centuries of history.
