Description
You don't have to travel far to feel a sense of escape. This is the case with this magnificent architect-designed house located in Marly-le-Roi, with its prestigious past as the Sun King's refuge from the turmoil of Versailles. Despite its proximity to Paris (20 minutes from Porte d'Auteuil), this house gives you a feeling of travel and being surrounded by nature. A S Global Properties is proud to present this 1970s house, redesigned by architect Eric Maria (formerly of Jean Nouvel's team) in the 1990s and renovated in 2010. It offers 357 m² of living space on two levels and a 1,641 m² plot of land with trees and landscaping featuring rare species of plants and trees.This architect-designed house is laid out as follows: a beautiful entrance hall reminiscent of Californian architecture, a semi-open kitchen (Miele) made of stainless steel and Italian red marble, a living room and dining room lined with south-east facing bay windows opening onto a 39 m² terrace with breathtaking panoramic views of Paris, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the lower level, at garden level, there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office area with access to a 35 m² terrace and the garden, a spa area with a “Japandi” atmosphere featuring an elegant stone jacuzzi reminiscent of a Japanese onsen and a sauna, a large laundry room, a wine cellar, and a storage area. A third terrace planted with huge bamboo trees adds to the feeling of escape and travel. Thanks to its many bay windows, this house lets in plenty of light, creating an aesthetic interplay between sunlight and shadows.A dialogue is also established between the interior and exterior thanks to three different terraces, each with its own distinct atmosphere. Numerous architectural details reference those of an ocean liner: porthole-shaped skylights, a wall undulating like a wave, staircases, walkways, and certain metal structures, all evoking the theme of travel. The proximity of this house to the international high school of Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a major asset, as is the castle of Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo, which lends a historical soul to this location. A garage with a charging station and a garden shed complete the ensemble.
