A Large 19th Century Dwelling, With A Garden Of Nearly 800 M2, Located In A Sought Out

A large 19th-century dwelling, with a garden of nearly 800 m2, located in a sought-out neighbourhood in downtown Nantes. Along a major boulevard, the property is accessible via a metal gate with spear-like bars topped with spikes. The entrance, both protective and stately, indicates the transition from the lively urban space towards the peace and quiet of the interior walled courtyard and swimming pool, while, the dwelling, built in a bourgeois style in the late 19th century, stands out from its neighbours thanks to its understated exteriors, cadenced by large straight windows, safeguarded by white wooden shutters, which are, in turn, framed by ashlar stone.

With three storeys, one of which is under the eaves, the dwelling features classical-style architecture with its vertical rows of windows, symmetrical appearance, moulded stringcourses and cornices, which highlight the dwelling’s different levels, as well as its protruding door/window surrounds in light-colour stone that contrast delicately with the darker shade of its plaster-coated exteriors.

As for the dwelling’s overall silhouette, it is accentuated by a slate gable roof and a brick chimney, typical of houses in the area, while its right-angle wing features an understated and, yet, elegant conservatory, inspired by the 19th century, with its latticework windows and glazed semi-circular fanlight, which helps open up the dwelling towards the cobblestone courtyard and garden.
