Atypical to say the least, this renovation now highlights spaces with the charm of yesteryear, skillfully modernized. From an old court to an unusual house, visit this way!
Here we are in the heart of downtown Avallon, in Yonne and just 9 km from the A6 motorway. Purchased by a couple of artists a few years ago now, this building dating from the 18th century did not yet resemble what it does today. Formerly the seat of the district court was located there and it took a lot of imagination to imagine it. Covering 550 m², it now consists of eighteen rooms, including nine bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room! Which makes it a completely unique property whose volumes leave no one indifferent. Tastefully rehabilitated, it adopts a careful decoration, which combines past and present. Enough to live there comfortably.
Once you have passed through the large door into this magnificent house, the entrance sets the tone and is already striking with its size, which we can, without blushing, describe as extraordinary. From this grand entrance, more than welcoming, you access a suite and its bathroom, an office and a large vestibule too, very practical for storing coats and shoes, without them clashing with the decor. Here, as in the rest of the house, old and contemporary combine wonderfully.
On the first level, served by a beautiful period staircase, there is a first living room, an office with original woodwork and a living room like you have probably never seen. Very high ceilings, it has retained its old beams and its surface area allows it to easily accommodate a living room, dining room and kitchen worthy of a chef. On the decor side, antique pieces meet more modern elements, like this chandelier with many bulbs. As a bonus, two bedrooms sharing a living room, and a bathroom complete this floor.
Zoom in on the dining area and its large wooded table. A privileged place where we certainly enjoy meeting up to ten guests, and more if there are similar interests. On the floor, the period tiles bring character and authenticity while being privileged witnesses of the past. In addition to the numerous cast iron radiators, a wood stove warms the atmosphere of this place steeped in history.
On the second level, the master suite is nestled under the roof. It exceeds 50 m², which made it possible to fit a good-sized dressing room along the wall. Enough to clean up space in style. All dressed in linen, the bed is infatuated with a headboard which disappears into the wall on which it rests.
Opposite, the bathroom is accompanied by a pedestal sink, just the right amount of retro, placed against a flat surface of green zelliges, reflectors of light. At the bottom, a free-standing bathtub perfects this dream bathroom. Still on this level, there are two other bedrooms sharing a dressing room and a bathroom as well as a laundry room. Do you want more? A gigantic attic is just waiting to be exploited, as a playroom for lucky children or as a home cinema that will delight movie buffs from all walks of life. Last but not least, a cellar of more than 200 m² completes this unique property, for sale on Espaces Atypicals at 650,000 euros, a bargain!
