iad France - Céline Boeuf offers you: ”I want my house to tell a story,” ”I want to live in a unique home.” Living here means choosing a true art of living in the heart of the historic district of Parthenay, a medieval city that is inhabited, lively, and preserved. Located on the longest medieval street in Europe, this remarkable 15th-century residence of 535 m² combines heritage, generous volumes, and multiple possibilities for customization. Beyond an imposing solid oak front door, a magnificent granite spiral staircase, the true backbone of the house, has stood the test of time without losing its grandeur. It serves four levels featuring elegant living spaces, remarkable historical elements, and beautiful views of the hanging gardens. The ground floor houses an independent commercial space of over 100 m², free of any occupation at the time of sale. Whether a professional office, art gallery, artisan workshop, or any other entrepreneurial activity, everyone can bring their project to life while enjoying an exceptional living environment. The private areas, more than 250 m² of beautifully renovated living space, occupy the two upper floors and have an independent entrance. The first floor centers around an impressive and bright 90 m² living room. A monumental fireplace, original stone sink, traditional niche for warming bread, exposed stones, old beams, lime walls, and high ceilings create an atmosphere both elegant and deeply authentic. A more intimate lounge and a large recreation room complete this level. Extending from here, a pleasant courtyard leads to a 100 m² hanging garden, a true green oasis overlooking the roofs of the medieval city. The second floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, consisting of four bedrooms and a charming vintage bathroom with both shower and bathtub. The building still holds rare potential. Attics, landings, and additional rooms represent nearly 180 m² of extra space ready to be reinvented. Guest rooms, charming accommodations, independent apartments, offices, or an extension of the family home—the possibilities are numerous. Finally, few homes can boast such a rich memory through an outstanding collection of period documents. Old engravings, photographs from the 1940s, and even a film shot on site in the 1980s testify to the unique history of this property. For over five centuries, this residence has stood the test of time without losing its soul. Now it’s your turn to write the next chapter.
