Former chapel transformed into a haven of peace in Jouy-en-Josas
Former chapel transformed into a haven of peace in Jouy-en-Josas
Welcome to Jouy-en-Josas, a charming village where tranquility reigns and where the price per square meter remains reasonable.
Nestled at the end of a bucolic cul-de-sac, this property invites you on a real journey through time. A former chapel once part of a large estate with a castle and wooded park, it has been transformed into a unique residential home, where past and modernity coexist elegantly.
Imagine arriving in front of this stone building, worthy of a period film set, with its green garden and paved courtyard.
Go through the gate and discover a vast courtyard capable of accommodating several vehicles, and even leaving enough space to organize an impromptu game of pétanque (or giant hiding places, if you have children).
The 40 m² garage and the annexes, boiler room, cellar and workshop, are just waiting to be used to store, tinker or store your secret collection including a collector’s car.
But let’s get down to business: the interior.
The historic entrance to the chapel has been preserved, and leads you straight into what was the heart of the religious building, now transformed into a 31 m² dining room. There, among the colored stained glass windows that play with the light like overexcited artists, you will be transported into an almost mystical atmosphere that does not make you lose sight of the magnificent mezzanine accessible by a superb spiral staircase like in your castle dreams.
Want even more space? The 27 m² living room, located in an extension respectful of the original style, offers you a view of the south-facing terrace and the forest below.
Upstairs, the mezzanine distributes the bedrooms. The first recalls the picturesque architecture of the residences of southern Italy with its private bathroom and toilet nestled in the old bell tower. With its ogival ceiling and stained glass windows, this suite could well become your favorite corner, or the one where you will finally write that novel that you have been putting off for years (the inspiration will be literally divine).
On the other side, a child’s bedroom of 8 m² (or office, if your little ones have grown up) and a large master bedroom of 14 m² with a private shower room and bathroom, bathed in light from its arched windows. The latter, decorated with an old stained glass window, bring an artistic touch that would almost make you forget that you are still in what was once a chapel.
In the lower space, with direct access, a magnificent room of 29 M² with a shower and a private toilet awaits to be occupied by a young au pair girl, a teenager looking for independence or by the office of a liberal profession or more episodically by family or friends.
The whole is set on a plot of more than 1000 m², decorated with beautiful trees, flower beds and a sunny terrace for your Sunday brunches or your yoga sessions. If you are looking for a place to live where history intertwines with modern comfort, with that little “je ne sais quoi” that makes the difference, this atypical house is made for you.
Come and discover this rare pearl, which has reinvented history with charm and originality. Who knows, maybe you will still hear an echo of the past… or simply future adventures to live here!
In terms of transport, this house benefits from easy access to public transport, with bus stops nearby on foot and a train station accessible in a few minutes by car, thus facilitating your daily travels and your trips to other destinations.
