Beautifully Renovated Character Home with Swimming Pool – la Genette, la Rochelle

Property Description

In the heart of the highly sought-after La Genette district, this beautifully renovated traditional La Rochelle townhouse offers approximately 155 sq m of refined living space arranged over three floors. Carefully restored throughout, it seamlessly combines the charm of period features with high-quality contemporary finishes.

From the moment you step inside, the generous proportions and abundance of natural light create an immediate sense of space and comfort. The reception room and kitchen open effortlessly onto the garden, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle, perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.

The property offers five bedrooms in total, including a ground-floor bedroom with its own shower room, ideal for single-level living or welcoming guests. The upper floors provide four further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a spacious open-plan area on the top floor that can easily be adapted to suit your needs—whether as a home office, games room or additional guest accommodation.

The overall atmosphere is both warm and sophisticated, enhanced by meticulous renovation and carefully selected, high-quality materials throughout.

Outside, the private landscaped garden provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. A heated swimming pool, timber terrace and desirable south-facing aspect create a wonderful outdoor living space, bathed in sunshine throughout the day.

A generous first-floor terrace, accessed from two of the bedrooms, enjoys open views over the surrounding greenery and the swimming pool—an uncommon and particularly attractive feature.

A spacious cellar, a useful outbuilding ideal for bicycle storage or a workshop, and ample storage complete this exceptional home, thoughtfully designed for comfortable family living. Ideally located just moments from local amenities, excellent schools, La Concurrence Beach (3 min away cycling), the seafront promenade known as Le Mail, and the historic centre of La Rochelle.

A bright, elegant and characterful home in one of La Rochelle's most desirable residential neighbourhoods.

More than simply a house, this is a home where every space invites you to imagine a new way of life: long summer evenings by the pool, cherished family moments in the light-filled living areas, and the tranquillity of a secluded garden sheltered from view. A property to experience rather than merely describe—viewing is highly recommended.
