A TOWNHOUSE AND ITS GARDEN IN THE HEART OF LES CHAPRAIS
In the Chaprais neighborhood of Besançon, this early 20th-century stone house stands out for its façade punctuated by red-brick arches, wooden shutters, and wrought-iron railings. Its 1930s-inspired architecture was preserved during a complete renovation carried out in 2021. Just a few minutes from the historic center and the Viotte train station, this home in Besançon combines the character of the past with the comfort of a recent renovation and a tree-lined lot of 926 m².

A FULLY RENOVATED HISTORIC HOME
The 2021 renovation preserved the home's distinctive features, notably its original hardwood floors, while modernizing the spaces and amenities. On the ground floor, the living room and dining room form a combined space of approximately 32 m² facing southwest. The wood-burning stove warms the living room, while the windows let in natural light. The two rooms allow for a clear distinction between moments of relaxation and shared meals. The fully equipped kitchen is located near the living areas.
A bedroom and a bathroom with a toilet complete this level. This layout makes it possible to set up a guest room or an office on the ground floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a second bathroom make up the sleeping area. The house offers 113 m² of living space, plus a 22 m² basement. The renovation includes double-glazed windows, reinforced interior insulation, and a gas condensing boiler. A wood-burning stove supplements the central heating system.

A TREE-LINED GARDEN IN LES CHAPRAIS
The outdoor space is one of the main attractions of this townhouse. Flat and tree-lined, it spans a 926 m² lot?a generous size in this residential neighborhood near the center of Besançon. Fruit trees dot the property. Hedges and rock gardens define the garden's various areas. Two tiled terraces, totaling approximately 60 m², extend the living spaces outdoors. They provide space for both dining and relaxation. On sunny days, the garden becomes the perfect spot for family lunches, children's games, and evenings spent outdoors. The size of the lot also leaves room for a vegetable garden, additional plantings, or a play area. An outdoor gravel parking area is provided on the property.

THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE
?In Les Chaprais, a 926 m² garden just minutes from downtown makes all the difference. I appreciate the character of this 1930s home, preserved through a renovation that brings it modern comforts. It's a home where you can fully enjoy the outdoors while keeping the city's amenities within easy reach.'
