Bordeaux, Gironde

Description

Situated in a chic, arty quarter of the city, close to the Opera House, and less than 10 minutes from Bordeaux Airport, this 3 bedroom/3 bathroom town house has the great advantage of a rooftop terrace. Renovated using only the best materials, the house is a perfect blend of great contemporary styling with the architectural elegance of yesteryear.





This stone-built town house, the subject of a quality renovation, is situated in the heart of the Croix Blanche district of Bordeaux. The house is erected over three floors and has 125m² of habitable space.





The entrance opens directly into a very large living room with exposed stone walls measuring 45m² which combines both sitting and dining areas. A large fitted and equipped kitchen is partially open to this lovely area. A very elegant old staircase leads to the first floor and two good-sized bedrooms, each with its own shower room. A large dressing room completes the first floor accommodation. The top floor is the icing on the cake. Here there is the third bedroom with shower room and also a beautiful, sunny and entirely private terrace of 17m² with fabulous views over the rooftops of Bordeaux. Finally, there is a large storeroom, structurally sound and suitable for conversion.





Traditionally Bordeaux has been known for its wine, gastronomy and elegant 18th Century architecture but over the past decade it has a acquired a vibrant cutting-edge, thanks in part, to the vision of its progressive mayor, Alain Juppé, who started a programme of rejuvenation that pedestrianised boulevards, restored neoclassical architecture, created a high-tech public transport system and reclaimed Bordeaux's former industrial docks. Half the city is now Unesco-listed, making it the largest urban World Heritage site.





Since July 2017 Bordeaux is now much easier to get to from the UK, following the opening of a new 188-mile stretch of high-speed track between Tours and Bordeaux which slashes some 70 minutes off the Paris-Bordeaux journey, down to just over two hours. Even with a change of station in Paris, it will be possible to do the journey from London by Eurostar and TGV in under 6 hours.
