A RARE AND HISTORIC ADDRESS
Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Mont Boron district—just minutes from the Port of Nice and the Mediterranean—this historic residence was built around 1862 for Alfred Le Roux, a deputy and minister under Napoleon III.
Originally the centerpiece of a vast private estate, the villa was preserved when the prestigious Parc Louisa was subdivided in 1924. Today, it stands as a testament to an era when grand Riviera homes were designed as true holiday retreats.
THE ELEGANCE OF A HISTORIC RESIDENCE
Located on the second floor of the villa, this apartment—spanning over 95 m²—seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary comfort.
Its spacious layout, high ceilings, and preserved architectural features give it a unique character that modern builds simply cannot replicate.
Fully renovated, the apartment comprises a double reception room, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, two toilets, and ample storage space. A ducted air-conditioning system ensures precise temperature control in every room, guaranteeing comfort throughout the seasons.
There is also an exciting opportunity to create a private outdoor space, with the necessary permits already secured. This potential allows for further enhancement of the property, adding to its exclusive appeal.
MONT BORON: A HIGHLY COVETED AREA
Living here means enjoying a truly privileged residential setting while remaining right next to the port—where luxury yachts sit alongside traditional *pointu* fishing boats, gourmet shops, and lively terraces. The Yacht Club, swimming coves, and iconic spots like La Réserve and Le Plongeoir are all within walking distance, as is the tramway providing a direct link to Nice International Airport.
Monaco is just a 30-minute drive away. A PURCHASE THAT MAKES SENSE
Some properties captivate through their features.
Others through their history.
Here, the two come together.
The architecture, location, and heritage of the site lend this property a significance rarely found on the French Riviera market.
