A large architect-designed villa in a site overlooking La Seyne-sur-Mer, with a roof terrace and swimming pool, in 2,400 m² of tree-lined grounds.
This property is located in the most southern point of the PACA region, in the Var area. An easily accessible but quiet cul-de-sac leads to the house's dominant position, on the last ridge between the sea and the Cap Sicié hills to the south. The town centre, from where shuttle boats to Toulon can be boarded, is 2.2 km away, while the large beach at Les Sablettes, the Criques de la Verne coves or the Tamaris coast road are around 3 km away. For destinations further afield, the high-speed TGV train station in Toulon is 20 minutes away and Marseille-Provence international airport is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away.
A tarmacked lane leads to the entrance of the property whose double-leaf solid metal gates decorated with wrought-iron arabesques are electrically powered. A stone-paved driveway leads up to the house's porch to the left and a large garage straight ahead. The villa was built in 1967 and boasts living space of approximately 370 m². It is rectangular in shape and has three storeys that embrace the terraced lie of the land. The upper level is made up of vast roof terrace with more than 150 m² of space and views of the sea. The walls of the façades are rendered in white and are dotted with large aluminium windows as well as French windows, fitted with electric roller blinds and black wrought-iron grating for the openings on the garden level. A very large glass-paned veranda adorns the southern façade, while a triangular awning protects the entrance door.
There is a gigantic lounge bathed in the light that flows through the veranda on the garden level, next to a kitchen and master bedroom with en suite facilities, while four other bedrooms and related rooms are located on the lower level, all opening onto patios that lead into the garden. The grounds are made up of several terraces planted with cork oak, pine, palm, olive and fig trees. The largest terraces play host to an outside dining space with an outside oven on one, a swimming pool with decking and pool-house on another and, lastly, a relaxation area, flower beds and a fishpond for the others.
The houseThis rectangular, mostly white painted house embraces the slopes of the hills and land. It can be reached directly from street level and has two visible levels to the west and northern sides, decorated with touches of blue paint here and there. Its standout features are a large glass veranda with black aluminium frames on its southern façade and a triangular porch supported by columns with a rectangular cross-section. A vast roof terrace with a masonry-work barrier and metal guard-rails sits on top of the building.
The garden-level floor
The entrance to the first level is via the porch to the east of the house, through a finely crafted, Moorish style, double-leaf door, followed by an inner door which opens into a large entrance hall, from which the stairs lead to the different levels to the right. The honey-coloured solid wood stripped flooring boasts a mosaic pattern in the middle. The staircase that leads to the roof terrace and the lower level, where most of the bedrooms are located, is made of brown veined white marble with a green painted wrought-iron balustrade. From the entrance hall, a long corridor with an arched ceiling supported by columns divides the enormous lounge, with a surface of almost 110 m², into two separate parts, while leading to the master bedroom and its en suite facilities to the west of the house. The corridor and the northern part of the lounge both have the same flooring as the entrance hall and are bathed in light through two vast large-paned windows with black aluminium frames. A modern fireplace with a brick hearth and marble surround stands in ...
