LAVAL – RARE HISTORIC PROPERTY WITH PANORAMIC CASTLE VIEWS
Behind a discreet façade, tucked away on a peaceful street in the heart of Laval, lies a residence whose character and history impress from the very first step. Its most striking feature: a 16th-century tower housing a monolithic staircase carved from a single stone, an exceptional testament to Renaissance architecture.
Upon entering, the volumes of the 18th-century dining room, enhanced by large openings, offer an immediate perspective over the garden and one of the most remarkable settings in the city: the majestic view of Laval’s castle.
The panorama is unexpected—river, historic center, monumental silhouette—an ever-changing tableau throughout the day.
Meticulously restored while preserving its historic soul, the home blends mouldings, parquet floors, period fireplaces and exposed beams. The warm, inviting living room, oriented toward the landscape, turns each moment into a spectacle.
The main level offers two ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms are complemented by a stunning library-office, crowned with a cathedral ceiling—an inspiring space overlooking the garden. Higher still, a spacious insulated attic offers effortless potential: studio, additional bedroom, games room…
Climbing the staircase within the tower leads to its summit, an intimate belvedere offering a unique, elevated view over the entire city, as though suspended above Laval.
On the garden level, a second kitchen and dining room with traditional floor tiles form an independent space ideal for a summer kitchen, receptions, or a self-contained studio.
For lovers of authenticity, the property also features a magnificent 13th-century vaulted stone cellar—perfect for a wine-tasting room, private reception space, or exhibition area.
Two private parking spaces provide valuable convenience for such a central address.
A truly exceptional residence—discreet, elegant, and steeped in history—where every level tells a chapter of Laval’s heritage while offering a remarkable living environment, surrounded by the castle, gardens, riverside paths, and the vibrant town center.
