My Upstairs House

Located on the 1st floor of a stylish 18th-century building, L’Appartement Immobilier offers you a 158 m² apartment, flooded with light, in the heart of the residential and green Croix-Daurade neighborhood. An upstairs house, open to the treetops, bathed in light, with the gentle illusion of having left the city behind.

Completely renovated five years ago, it finely combines the charm of the old — herringbone oak flooring, fireplaces, wooden joinery, high ceilings — with everyday comfort. The entire space is air-conditioned. All wooden elements — frames, closets, integrated furniture — have been custom-made by a carpenter, with particular attention to every detail.

The entrance sets the tone, with its custom-designed closets, blending elegance, functionality, and artisanal craftsmanship. From the first steps, natural light guides the eye through a hallway that structures the flow of the apartment.

Opposite, a large west-facing room, flooded with sunlight, currently an artist’s studio, with a water point and two wooden windows. A calming space that could easily become a bedroom or a dedicated office, with a bright and inspiring atmosphere.

The living room, to the left, unfolds with beautiful volumes bathed in clarity, a functional marble fireplace, and a desk nook nestled in an alcove. The whole exudes a sense of calm and comfort, highlighted by noble materials and the omnipresent light.

To the right, a large bedroom offers a fresh and serene ambiance. Two wooden windows, a king-size bed, a custom dressing area, a desk nook, and a bathroom with period fixtures make up an elegant and restful sleeping space.

A second sleeping area includes a bedroom/dressing room, a shower room with adjoining WC, and a fourth bright bedroom, crossed by two large wooden windows.

At the end of the hallway, the kitchen, open to the dining room, forms a warm and generous ensemble: graphic tiles, varnished oak worktop, designer storage, custom buffet, fully equipped kitchen. A living space designed for gathering, bathed in light throughout the day.

Outside, a 1,500 m² wooded garden, shared among the three co-owners, extends the spirit of the house. It features a pool with a cement coating (10×5 m). The entire garden, including the pool, is maintained in turn by the co-owners, in a spirit of simplicity, sharing, and communal care. Two parking spaces and a shared pigeon loft complete this rare living space.

The building, divided into three apartments, is nestled in a quiet residential street in the Croix-Daurade neighborhood, less than ten minutes on foot from the Borderouge metro station (line B) and five minutes from bus stops serving several lines. All around, a complete living environment: the Maourine park, an organic farm, a pharmacy, a post office, a Carrefour, the open-air market on Wednesdays, as well as the Utopia cinema. A peaceful, green, practical, and lively neighborhood that combines greenery, services, and a village atmosphere, while remaining connected to the heart of the city.

The building, classified and carefully maintained, requires no work, neither on the roof nor on the facade. Management, ensured simply by a volunteer syndic, generates very low condominium fees.
