Charming Residence, Historic Center, 328 m², Garden, Garage

Property Description

In the heart of Saintes' historic center, just steps from Saint-Pierre Cathedral and all amenities, this remarkable 18th-century house perfectly embodies the elegance of the old world paired with contemporary living comfort.

From the entrance, the tone is set: generous volumes, impressive ceiling height, and period architectural elements give the property a rare character. The ground floor centers around a welcoming hall leading to a warm 27 m2 living room with a stone fireplace, built-in antique storage, moldings, and tapestries. In its extension, a 20 m2 dining room bathed in light under a glass roof opens onto a modern fully equipped kitchen, offering a pleasant view of the courtyard and the intimate garden. A laundry room, a technical room, and a bathroom to be refurbished complete this level.

Still on one level, an elegant 27 m2 room, bright and adorned with an old fireplace and moldings, can easily host a professional space, leisure area, or a master suite with the possibility of creating a shower room.

A superb period staircase, enhanced by a light well, serves the upper floors where antique parquet, exposed stone, beams, and fireplaces reveal the authentic character of the place.

The first floor offers three beautiful bedrooms (23 m2, 24 m2, and 14 m2), a bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and dressing room, as well as a separate WC.

The second floor provides a similar layout with three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate WC.

On the third level, the attic reveals potential for further development with a 16 m2 room, an 8 m2 storage area, and an attic space.

Outside, the enclosed garden charms with its peaceful atmosphere, rubble walls, ‘Pierre de Ronsard’ roses, and exotic plant touches. At the rear of the plot, a 26 m2 garage with an automatic door, a cellar, and an upstairs space to fully rehabilitate, including a bathroom with WC and a room, enrich the possibilities.

As for amenities, numerous recent works guarantee optimal comfort: roof renovations, insulated attics, gas condensing boiler (2018), kitchen and veranda renovation, double glazing, electrical rewiring, refreshed painting. The property is connected to the sewer system and fiber.

The energy performance diagnostics classify as C, reflecting the quality of improvements—an especially rare asset for such an old property.

This exceptional residence of about 328 m2 of living space, with garden and garage, represents a unique opportunity in the heart of Saintes, ideal for a large family, a professional activity, or a mixed-use project.
