19th century apartment revisited with garden and panoramic view

Like a lookout watching over the mouth of the Seine, Le Havre has been exposed for more than 500 years to the capricious winds from the sea.

If the lower town had to reinvent itself in modernity, following the effects of the Second World War, the upper town and the coast leading to it still house some sumptuous bourgeois properties now divided into apartments to the delight of inventive owners seeking to mix harmoniously styles.

This one, ideally located near the city center, is quite exceptional because of the volumes and the assets it offers. Imposing on the entire ground floor of a 19th century building, it spreads its 265 m2 with ease.

The perfect condition of the common areas and the entrance to the residence reveals the quality of this co-ownership. With its 30 m2 hall of immaculate whiteness simply underlined by discreet moldings and punctuated by the reflections of a huge mirror, the apartment immediately exudes an atmosphere that is both elegant and refined. Its black and white checkered marble paving graphically gives rhythm to the whole.

The 54 m2 living room, facing south, benefits from an incomparable light highlighting the arguments of this central room which are the authentic Point de Hungary parquet, the marble fireplace, the imposing mirrors and the high niche welcoming an astonishing Venus on the guitar, reminiscent of the seventies!

This living space gives access, on one side, to a large dining room of 35 m2 also enjoying the panoramic view of the city and the port with a perspective of the bay of the Seine so dear to the Impressionists, and the other side to a spacious master bedroom with direct access to the bathroom. Two other bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office, also have their own shower room, each one in a vintage spirit. Two separate toilets complete the whole. T

he independent and equipped kitchen is currently located just behind the dining room but it is quite possible to integrate it later in the living room in order to reconceptualize the space according to everyone’s ideas.

Beyond its remarkable appearance and its configuration adapted to a contemporary revisit, this apartment offers itself the luxury of having at your disposal a private garden accessible by the main room, with a unique panorama on the architectural town planning of Le Havre, marked among other things by the creations of Auguste Perret, Oscar Niemeyer and Jean Nouvel, always with the spectacle of the Seine and its estuary as a backdrop.

If we add to this the convenience of having two cellars with a combined surface area of 58 m2 and a two-car garage, the rarity and attractiveness of this property are definitely confirmed!
