Former Mansion Used as Offices and Apartments

Property Description

North - ROUBAIX

Located in the highly residential Barbieux neighborhood of Roubaix, this beautiful 500 m² property offers a pleasant, dynamic, and rewarding living environment. Situated across from Barbieux Park, it enjoys a prime location in the heart of the Lille metropolitan area, in close proximity to urban amenities (metro, tram), the city center, and major access routes.

Currently intended for a mixed-use development combining offices and premium residential units, this former mansion—recently renovated and in perfect condition—is divided into several distinct spaces.

The mezzanine and second floors house four comfortable, bright apartments, comprising two studios intended for premium student rentals (Edhec Business School campus is a 15-minute walk away) and two one-bedroom units ideally suited for short-term Airbnb rentals. These four fully self-contained units feature separate entrances and a dedicated service staircase.

Blending old-world charm with contemporary interior design, the ground floor and first floor are occupied by spacious, airy office spaces, arranged as functional open-plan areas opening onto the vast, tree-lined garden of nearly 800 m². The monumental staircase connecting the two floors is adorned with a massive Art Deco stained-glass window created by the Lille-based master glassmaker Largillier.

An 85-square-meter basement and a 129-square-meter garage provide optimal storage and parking space. Individual gas heating ensures optimal thermal comfort.

Currently operated, due to its features and location, as a rental property for office and residential use (generating €81,600 in annual net rental income), it could very easily be restored to its original purpose as a large, luxury family home.
