In the heart of Vallon des Auffes, in one of the most unique addresses on the Marseille coastline, this 100m² house offers a rare way to live in the 7th arrondissement of Marseille. Accessible via a pedestrian alley lined with stairs and Mediterranean vegetation, it maintains a private atmosphere just steps from the sea. Here, the spirit of a Mediterranean village meets the charm of a characterful house, with interior architecture where materials, light, and outdoor spaces create a very personal identity.
From the entrance, a planted terrace of about 20 m² sets the tone. Cement tiles accompany the first steps, and the living room opens widely onto this secluded outdoor space. The fully equipped kitchen connects with the dining room in a warm and natural ambiance. A bedroom, a laundry room, and a toilet complete this level, with a layout suited to simple and comfortable daily living. The terrace here becomes a true additional room, directly linked to the house and the vegetation of Vallon des Auffes.
Upstairs, a double living room bathed in light offers a completely different perspective. The high ceiling and wooden beams give the space an almost cathedral-like dimension. A glass partition extended by a bow window opens views toward the neighborhood and enhances the sense of space without breaking the intimacy of the place. One bedroom has a planted balcony, a small suspended refuge above the alleys of Vallon, while a shower room completes this level. A second bedroom has its own shower room and access to an attic mezzanine, ideal for an office, play area, or child’s bedroom.
The character of this atypical Marseille house also rests on the choice of materials. Cement tiles, zelliges, wooden parquet, and natural materials create a coherent, warm, and timeless interior design. Reversible air conditioning, double glazing, insulation, and recent roof renovation provide the expected daily comfort without altering the soul of this Mediterranean house.
Living in Vallon des Auffes means choosing a neighborhood where the sea is a daily presence. Corniche Kennedy, beaches, Petit Nice, coastal restaurants, and Marseille coves are all within walking distance. The city center and the neighborhoods of the 7th arrondissement, from Saint-Victor to Endoume, remain easily accessible. This characterful house is for those seeking a house with a terrace in Marseille, close to the sea, with a true identity and the rare feeling of living in a village at the heart of the city.
