In the heart of Marseille’s prestigious Carré d’Or, secluded and nestled within a highly sought-after residential area, lies this elegant 500 m² townhouse dating from the 19th century.
Built on a remarkable wooded plot of approximately 1,125 m², the property enjoys a true green oasis in the city.
Its landscaped park features a swimming pool surrounded by large relaxation and reception areas, as well as several terraces.
At the front, the pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor space, creating a privileged setting for summer days and gatherings.
At the back of the house, a more intimate terrace extends the living areas and hosts an elegant outdoor dining space, naturally integrated into the greenery.
The timeless charm of a historic residence: - The property has preserved the soul and architectural features of its era. Delicate moldings, antique fireplaces, solid wood floors, and generous ceiling heights create a highly elegant decor where 19th-century details have been carefully maintained. - Spread over four levels, the layout offers remarkable spaciousness and allows a natural organization between reception areas, private spaces, and additional rooms. - On the ground floor, the volumes open onto a double reception room, a dining area, and a large fully equipped family kitchen. This kitchen is the true centerpiece of the house, designed as a living space in its own right: a cooking range, built-in barbecue, and generous work surfaces make it ideal for family meals as well as large receptions.
Generous private spaces: The upper floors accommodate five bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing room and bathroom. Several bathrooms, shower rooms, and separate toilets complete the sleeping area.
A garden-level floor opening onto the park: - On the garden level, an independent apartment enhances the property’s offerings. Bathed in natural light and directly connected to the pool, it can host family, friends, or household staff with complete independence. - Its location also makes it particularly suitable for receptions and social moments, naturally extending the park.
Additional functional spaces: The basement completes the property with several storage areas, a laundry room, and various annexes, providing all the functionality needed for a residence of this size.
A rare property in Marseille, capable of accommodating more than a dozen vehicles, including two covered parking spaces.
Through its architecture, volumes, park, and location, this residence combines qualities that have become particularly rare in Marseille.
It offers the privilege of a true character property, preserving the charm and architectural codes of the 19th century, while providing the size, outdoor spaces, and conviviality of a large family home.
A discreet address in the heart of the Carré d’Or, where the elegance of the past meets Mediterranean living.
