About the Property
Some architectures try to hide the past; this one elevates it. Here, the mineral quality of the dressed stone, the warmth of the old terracotta tiles, and the wood of the exposed beams tell the story of the place. Meanwhile, under the roof, the volumes open up completely to accommodate a loft of about 75m2 with a rooftop terrace and balcony.

Some architectures try to hide the past; this one elevates it. Here, the mineral quality of the dressed stone, the warmth of the old terracotta tiles, and the wood of the exposed beams tell the story of the place. Meanwhile, under the roof, the volumes open up completely to accommodate a loft of about 75m2 with a rooftop terrace and balcony.
This village house, built in 1948 and located in Veigy-Foncenex within a historic hamlet, asserts its architectural identity over a total area of approximately 247 m2, including 170m2 of living space, spread over three levels.
On the ground floor, as soon as you enter, the eye is drawn to the unique work done on the staircase: exposed beam, old terracotta tiles, and a wall adorned with custom-cut stones make it a true architectural masterpiece. This entrance also leads, through an interior door, to the double-through garage, the boiler room, the laundry area, and restrooms.
This raw and functional space of 77 m2 has the potential to be transformed into additional living space, offering great possibilities for development.
On the first floor, the eat-in kitchen makes an aesthetic statement with its central island clad in the same dry stones that decorate the stairwell. Wooden facades, a tiled countertop, and a cooking range enhance this authenticity.
An adjoining corridor distributes the sleeping area composed of three separate bedrooms, one of which has direct outdoor access via a front staircase. This easily allows for an independent professional activity at home.
The main bathroom is spacious and contemporary, allowing for the installation of a bathtub in addition to the walk-in shower, as well as a laundry area (drainage is already in place). Separate toilets complete this level.
The second and top floor concentrates all the architectural power of the building. Here, the charm of the old dictates the loft style. Designed as a large open space, this volume benefits from a significant ridge height, revealing the complexity of the massive wooden framework. The floor is entirely covered with square terracotta tiles. The layout centers around an imposing open-hearth stone fireplace. With triple exposure, the lighting is beautiful and constant, and two large glazed French doors provide access to private outdoor spaces: a 5 m2 balcony offers an open view of this historic neighborhood, while the 9 m2 rooftop terrace, a true suspended patio, provides a genuine open-air dining area with complete privacy.
Outside, in addition to the double garage, the house has 3 additional private parking spaces, distributed between the front and rear of the property.
Located in a residential area, this characterful house benefits from immediate proximity to the Swiss border: the customs office is only 500 meters away, and the nearest TPG bus stop is accessible within two minutes by car. Residents also have access to the TPG Flex on-demand bus service.
At the gates of Geneva, this unique village house, with its open loft-style volumes and character, combines the distinctive spaces of an old building reimagined with the necessities of modern living.
