A specially designed house with a floor area of 245m² and a garden in the town of Fontenay-aux-Roses, very close to Paris.
This specially designed home was built in the 1980s on a 500m² plot of land. It is set back from the road in a calm spot. A lush garden around it ensures that this peaceful dwelling is not at all overlooked. This south-facing house has three floors and a slate roof. Many windows flood its interior with natural light.

The garden level has a spacious garage for two cars, as well as a fitness room, a utility room and a bedroom with a bathroom. The ground floor features a living room with an impressive cathedral ceiling: a welcoming reception room that has a ceiling height of 5.7 metres. This living room lies next to a dining room, a fitted kitchen and a television lounge with a fireplace. On the first floor, there are two large bedrooms. Each one has its own bathroom and terrace. Further on, there is an office.
