Character Apartment in the Heart of Historic Toulouse

Property Description

Rue du May — exposed brick, generous proportions and carefully considered decor

Located on Rue du May, a few steps from Rue Saint-Rome and Place du Capitole, this character apartment occupies the second floor of an older building. A central address for making the most of life in Toulouse, with shops, restaurants, terraces and heritage sites nearby.

The charm begins as soon as you enter the building. A vaulted passage opens onto a paved courtyard with greenery, framed by historic façades. The wooden staircase, with its curved handrail and wrought-iron balustrades, carries this authentic atmosphere through to the apartment.

The property offers 37.10 m² of living space and Carrez-law floor area, with a total floor area of 38.10 m². Large windows, high ceilings and exposed beams give the rooms a presence that goes beyond their floor area alone. Toulouse brickwork, wood floors and deep hues create a warm interior where period features meet contemporary fittings.

The living area of approximately 21 m² brings together the lounge, dining area and open-plan kitchen. Two tall windows punctuate the façade and frame views of the brickwork and rooftops of the neighbourhood. Between them, a section of exposed brick wall highlights the apartment’s Toulouse character.
The fitted kitchen, with appliances, blends into the interior in dark tones, with understated cabinet fronts and several storage areas. Open to the living room, it makes it possible to cook while enjoying a welcoming space arranged around the lounge and dining table.

A decorative fireplace and a wall decoration with botanical motifs add a distinctive touch to the living room. The interior has real personality, with a pleasing balance of natural materials, colours and period details.

Set just beyond the living area, the bedroom has a large window, an exposed beam and an integrated shower area with a washbasin. Deep blue tones and wood finishes create an enveloping atmosphere. A separate toilet and several storage areas complete the layout.

A character-filled apartment, suited to a first-time buyer, a city-centre home or a pied-à-terre for enjoying Toulouse during a stay.

The apartment is arranged on one level. The entrance opens into the living room, with a fitted kitchen, dining area and lounge. The adjoining bedroom includes a shower area and washbasin, while the toilet is separate. Several storage areas complete the layout.
