Renovated Old House in Montigny-Lès-Vesoul

Property Description

In the peaceful courtyard of Montigny-lès-Vesoul Abbey, this house dating back to the French Revolution, classified as a Historic Monument, embodies the meeting of heritage and modernity. Built in 1789, it has been entirely restored with rare care: light-colored stone, period woodwork, moldings, antique parquet floors, and contemporary finishes blend harmoniously. Light floods through the generous spaces, enlivened by remarkable floors and a sculpted staircase. The open-plan, modern and refined kitchen adjoins the living rooms with their antique fireplaces and the peaceful bedrooms. At the rear, an outbuilding waiting to be reinvented extends the charm of the place, opening the way for a project to create a workshop, gîte or guest space. An insider's address, combining calm and proximity, where the past blends with the present in serene elegance.

Inspired restoration
Behind its understated façade, the house reveals the spirit of 18th-century Comtois residences: noble materials, high ceilings, and diffused light. The stone-tiled entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with restored wood paneling. Antique fireplaces provide a cozy backdrop for winter evenings, while the open-plan, contemporary kitchen blends naturally into the historic structure.
The tastefully restored property, designed for fluid and functional living, perfectly combines modern comfort with old-world authenticity. Upstairs, four elegant, light-filled bedrooms ensure privacy for everyone. The attention to detail?windows, moldings, materials?restores the nobility of a heritage home reinvented for everyday living.

A house designed for tranquility
The semi-detached house opens onto a paved courtyard shared by all the dwellings. It is bordered by stone walls and adorned with beautiful century-old trees, creating a real place for living and sharing. The ornamental garden, dotted with a vegetable patch, offers a simple, green refuge in the heart of the village. At the rear, an outbuilding offers new possibilities: an office, guest house, or craft space. The terrace, partly stone and facing east, catches the first light of day and extends the living space on sunny days.
Charmingly renovated in 2018, the property requires no work and maintains a balance between privacy, practicality, and simple beauty.

A heritage between town and country
Located in Montigny-lès-Vesoul, a few minutes from the center of Vesoul, the house enjoys a privileged setting: the calm of a village, close proximity to shops and schools, and access to nature. A short walk away are the Sabot de Frotey Nature Reserve, the Cita plateau, and the lakeside walks of Lake Vaivre, offering a breath of fresh air.
Access is easy: the A36 motorway, Besançon Tgv station 45 minutes away, and Basel-Mulhouse airport less than two hours away. This renovated old house in Haute-Saône combines heritage, comfort, and accessibility in an environment where the good life takes on its full meaning.

Agency opinion
The Maison de la Révolution appeals for its consistency: an elegant restoration, faithful to history but designed for modern living. It will appeal to heritage enthusiasts, families looking for a turnkey home, or buyers wishing to combine a primary residence with a hospitality project. The outbuilding, the tranquility, and the proximity to Vesoul make it a rare find?a home where every detail reflects the craftsman's passion and the beauty of time.
