Property Description
Summary
This stunning architect-designed Art Deco detached villa offers nine rooms, a 9-meter full-length balcony, and a private driveway with space for five cars plus a 16.5 m² garage. The entrance opens to a wide tiled hallway leading to a 20.5 m² kitchen/dining area with an open stone fireplace and original floor tiles, as well as a 25 m² lounge featuring a marble fireplace and doors to a conservatory that flows into the landscaped garden and terrace. There are two separate toilets, one on each floor, and two kitchens—a spacious American-style with a fireplace, and another as part of a self-contained unit with living space, sink, and hob opening to the garden, perfect as a one-bedroom annex. Upstairs, via a stone and marble staircase, are four generous parquet-floored bedrooms, three of which are king-size, with one enjoying dual aspects and another opening to the balcony. The ground floor also includes a porch, a 24 m² living room with veranda access, a fitted kitchen, WC, garage, and a summer kitchen with sink and gas hob opening to the garden, ideal as an additional one-bedroom annex. Original Victorian cast iron radiators and elegant details enhance the home’s charm, while air conditioning and retractable fans serve both the top and bottom floors.
