Exceptional property in Divonne-les-Bains
Private tour of a family house dating from 1929
In a calm and peaceful place in the center of the dynamic and sought-after little town of Divonne-les-Bains, this charming house with its wooded park is a perfect family oasis.
Built in 1929, between the prosperous 1920s and 1930s, this house is part of the architectural movement called “reconstruction” when functionality and modern life are the key words of the time.
It is recognizable by its sober lines, its warm and welcoming style typical of the beginning of the 20th century. Built on 3 levels with a basement, the house comprises 9 rooms spread over circa 340 sqm and offers many development opportunities. Inside, the high ceilings, the hardwood flooring and the original moldings bring a lot of character.
If the building has undergone a substantial renovation (change of the heating system, new kitchen and bathrooms, etc.), the original plans have been preserved.
History, charm and confort
Rooted in the past but perfectly adapted to the present time is the feeling experienced when entering this house where the old and the new are side by side with care. The original cement tiles in the entrance hall set the tone. The decoration is neat, delicate and the original charm preserved.
A few steps lead to the living rooms with high ceilings filled with abundant natural light thanks to the large windows offering beautiful views of the lush garden and a relaxing environment.
The ground floor is spacious, and the layout of the rooms is well thought-out. On one side it comprises a large living room divided into two parts, reception area and TV corner. Extending on the other side, is the dining room and the independent fitted kitchen.
The soft paintings of the wall highlight the original moldings and the white woodwork. The marble fireplace adorned with a mirror in the reception room, the crystal pendant lights, the family paintings present in the various rooms… period objects and contemporary furniture mix together and give an authentic, warm, and cozy atmosphere.
The independent kitchen has been fully redone and offers plenty of storage space as well as all modern equipment such as the Falcon gas/electric oven. On sunny days, the direct terrace access allows to enjoy outdoor meals.
