A Quiet 19th Century Property, Updated In The 20th, With A Garden, Swimming Pool Et Stunning

A quiet 19th-century property, updated in the 20th, with a garden, swimming pool et stunning views, between Marseille’s Vauban et Périer neighbourhoods. From the street and once past the gate, a wide access ramp, lined with vegetation, provides enough room to park several vehicles, while the dwelling’s front door is accessible after ascending a few steps.

As for the dwelling, with approximately 270 m² of inhabitable floor area, it abuts the hillside and features five bedrooms and a large study, whereas its partially symmetrical U-shaped composition, with uneven wings, faces mainly east: in the middle, the orangery of a bygone farmhouse, dating from approximately 1870, is flanked to the south by a contemporary two-storey extension, built roughly 12 years ago, and to the north by a charming cottage as well as an annexe extending on from the latter.

With light-colour plaster exteriors, cadenced by primarily rectilinear or arched windows/doors, the cottage is topped with an interlocking tile gable roof, as is the annexe, while the property’s other rooftops have been turned into sunny terraces.

In addition, the property’s successive adjustments have given the dwelling its current appearance, both balanced in terms of the distribution of its proportions and atypical due to its architectural eclecticism, whereas, thanks to the layout of its central structure and wings, the dwelling surrounds a sunny patio in front of which extends a flat landscaped garden to the east with a swimming pool.
