Exclusive - Sumptuous, Comfortable, and Elegant Neoclassical Château 1 Hour from Paris Perfect condition - High-quality architecture and decoration - Splendid garden - 18th-century boulingrin - 3.7 ha - Giverny, Eure, Normandy Built in 1910 in the pure 18th-century neoclassical style, reminiscent of the works of architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel and in particular the Château de Bellevue built for the daughters of King Louis Xv, this sumptuous château combines the great French elegance of the 18th century with the comfort of modern amenities, remarkably integrated from its construction, and interiors of great refinement-all in perfect condition and meticulously maintained. Just one hour from Paris, near the meanders of the Seine, this neoclassical château of exceptional architectural quality, built entirely in dressed stone, stands on a slight rise facing a majestic avenue of century-old plane trees. Its enclosed park of 3.7 hectares is adorned with statues, antique-style vases, grottos, follies, and a Moorish pavilion, and also features a rare and very elegant 18th-century boulingrin, a remnant of the original 18th-century château. The very elegant main staircase, adorned with extraordinary mascaron figures and finely carved consoles beneath a large pediment decorated with a Rocaille cartouche, opens via three double doors onto a large Louis Xvi salon with faux-stone mouldings, a beautiful finely carved marble fireplace, and a cabochon stone floor, bathed in light from all sides. This salon leads to the spectacular grand staircase hall and, to one side, the dining room, and to the other, a Regency-style salon with exceptional-quality wood panelling. The garden-side terrace, decorated with a graceful Art Nouveau canopy, opens onto the grand and spectacular staircase hall, widely open to the light, allowing the rich gilded wrought-iron banister to unfurl in an elegant flight of steps to the first floor, with balconies offering multiple views of this ceremonial staircase. The ground floor, laid out in a modern and functional manner, features a large south-facing kitchen opening directly onto a terrace. The kitchen retains all the charm of great château kitchens, with original fittings, a large tiled range hood, and a grand built-in wooden buffet. There is also a pantry, a beautiful large dining room with Rocaille panelling, a Louis Xv fireplace, and a fine parquet floor, which opens in succession via double glass doors to the Louis Xvi salon, which itself connects to the Regency salon. A large cross-hall decorated in faux stone structures the ground floor and also leads to the octagonal library, adorned with a Rocaille trumeau and fireplace over a herringbone parquet floor. Guest Wc and cloakroom. The first floor offers five beautiful bedrooms with herringbone parquet and marble fireplaces, including a spectacular master bedroom in the axis of the central block, bathed in light from three windows overlooking the plane-tree avenue, with panelling, a trumeau, and a high-quality Louis Xvi fireplace. There are three bathrooms, including a very beautiful and rare one adorned with Art Nouveau ceramics in an Arts and Crafts spirit, in excellent condition two large dressing rooms and three WCs.
