4 bedroom villa

Built in 1926 by Henri Bret and Henri Draperi for a former Belgian consul general, in a quiet, sought-after residential area within a private, gated estate 200 meters from the sea. The main entrance to this historical residence, requiring full renovation, is located to the northwest and sheltered by a porch. It opens into a hall with an elegant ribbed vault inspired by a small Romanesque chapel from the former hospice of Les Arcs (Var). The floor is paved with white marble bordered by original black marble from Belgium. This hall leads westward to a staircase under which a cloakroom and restroom are located, and eastward to a spacious library-living room dominated by an imposing monumental fireplace from the Ursuline Convent in Bruges, which, with its sculpted details, may date back to the 15th century. The living room is adorned with Renaissance oak woodwork, repurposed from shutters of Dutch homes, while the beams and door frames are believed to come from Bruges' former courthouse. The northwest corner of the house hosts the service rooms (kitchen, pantry, and restroom), with an independent entrance. The dining room, accessible from the hall and a small sitting room, features oak parquet flooring and a ceiling with oak beams, along with a brick and stone fireplace. On the first floor, a landing provides access to four bedrooms, two of which, on the eastern side, open onto a terrace, also accessible by an exterior staircase. The second floor includes a master bedroom overlooking a loggia, as well as two additional bedrooms. Outside, the park is landscaped with paths and stairways, enhanced with rockeries and a pond. A caretaker's house also completes the property. The set of parcels comprising the land will, according to the building permit under review, be reorganized after a parcel division to create two building plots of approximately 3,500 sq m and two villas of about 400 sq m each with a pool. The sale price includes the approved building permits (subject to approval). (Housing with excessive energy consumption)
