An Atypical House With A Landscaped Garden And A Sweeping View, 30 Kilometres North Of Paris

An atypical house with a landscaped garden and a sweeping view, 30 kilometres north of Paris, near the town of Chantilly. The property is known as Porte Saint-Côme, which means Saint-Côme gateway. It stands on the raised ground of Luzarches town centre. Its commanding position is at the entrance to an old castle, remnants of which can still be seen today. The property has kept its impressive 13th-century archway, which is listed as a historical monument. The house lies above this fortified gateway, extending the place’s medieval spirit. With its walls of stone and timber framing, its steep roof slopes and its central tower crowned with a hipped roof, this property is truly unique. Its architecture combines the defensive strength of the Middle Ages with ornamental redesigns from the 19th century. The tower houses a former dovecote and a top-floor loggia balcony offers a sweeping view of the valley. A discreet door, hidden behind the gateway, leads into the property. It takes you into a paved court, from where you reach the house and garden. The walled garden stretches southwards over several levels dotted with old trees of different varieties. From the terrace and from the end of the garden, the view expands into a sweeping vista of the rooftops of Luzarches and the wooded hills of the River Ysieux valley. The house offers a 220m² floor area, spread out over four levels with four bedrooms. The dwelling harmoniously combines its medieval heritage with more modern touches that make it a comfortable home.
