Duplex apartment with sea view in an old mansion

Adjoining the ocean city of Le Havre, the town of Sainte Adresse is renowned for its summer seaside atmosphere and quality of life. Over time, this simple little fishing village has become a must in terms of real estate.

Representing a confidential market, very coveted, it sometimes offers real nuggets where life is good close to the beach, with the sea in perspective.
This is how we find on the last levels of an imposing and elegant bourgeois house, this surprising duplex of 213 m2 Carrez (240 m2 on the ground) overlooking the gardens and the surrounding properties with the Bay of Seine punctuated by its famous seaside resorts of Deauville and Trouville.
A wide period staircase with superb turned wooden balusters leads to the second floor of the property where this unusual apartment is located. The entrance partially reveals the originality of the place and invites you to discover spacious volumes welcoming the living rooms.

On one side, a large living room of 45 m2 in immaculate white highlights a beautiful light marble fireplace and a set of windows open to the south, towards the sea and the entrance to the port.

On the other, a beautiful open-plan space of 34 m2 offers the possibility of a second living room facing another fireplace with dark marble, this time harmonizing perfectly with the charm of old parquet floors.
The surface of the room also allows the presence of an office and a library at the foot of the very graphic white staircase going upstairs.
The fitted and equipped kitchen is independent and can potentially accommodate an additional table or a central island. This first level also offers two bedrooms of 17 m2 sharing a comfortable bathroom with glass shower area and two washbasins in a sleek design.

To this is added a linen room, a toilet and a corridor transformed into a discreet storage volume. Upstairs, the attic aspect and the exposed framework create an atmosphere that is both warm and intimate.

A splendid landing room of 28 m2 on the ground punctuated by the intersection of beams encourages relaxation and lets the gaze escape to the seaside and the Seine estuary.

Two other bedrooms take refuge under these roofs and take advantage of a bathroom equipped with an amazing sauna. This floor is also equipped with a second independent toilet.

Note that to complete the whole, the apartment also has a cellar.

This exceptional duplex will appeal to anyone wishing to live in an exclusive location close to the beach, while staying in an urban environment close to amenities.
The invigorating air from the open sea, the fleeting cry of gulls flying over the sea and the sky with the changing lights so dear to the Impressionists make the dream come true.
