Location
Rennes, which is the administrative hub of Brittany and the Ille-et-Vilaine area, is an attractive and dynamic conurbation but also a historical city with its famous half-timbered houses. The apartment is situated on the quays in an old building in the city centre with views of the River Vilaine. Thanks to the location of the property, though in a calm and residential neighbourhood, shops, schools, public transport and cultural amenities can be easily reached. The metro is a short walk away, allowing easy access to the four corners of the city. High-speed TGV trains from the station, which is 12 minutes away on foot, put Paris within 1 hour and 30 minutes’ reach. Rennes-Bretagne airport is 20 minutes away by car and operates flights to many French and European cities. The Côte d’Émeraude coastline and Saint Malo are 1 hour away by road, while the Golfe de Morbihan bay is 1 hour 20 minutes away.
Description
The building, which dates from the 19th century, boasts an ashlar façade with wrought iron balconies and mullioned windows, which are typical of Haussmannian architecture. The edifice has been meticulously restored, particularly its period elements, such as the cornices and mouldings. The elegant entrance hall is also decorated with mouldings and houses a wooden staircase leading to the upper floors.
The apartment
This approximately 184-m² apartment is located on the third floor of the building, in which there is no elevator. It has been carefully restored, boasting solid wood stripped flooring, period mouldings and decorative fireplaces in several rooms. Many cupboards and other elements have been installed by a renowned interior design firm. The entrance hall leads to a lounge, kitchen and a bedroom. A corridor that is cleverly hidden by the custom-made cupboard layout leads to two further bedrooms. A fourth bedroom can be reached via a library / study or directly from the lounge, into which light pours through large, double-glazed windows. The apartment possesses a functional fitted kitchen. The four bedrooms all have double-glazed windows. The bathroom has been fitted out with modern materials and there is also a separate shower room. A utility room and separate lavatory complete the apartment.
The cellar
The cellar is located in the building’s basement.
Our opinion
This large, renovated apartment boasting all modern comforts is located in the historical centre of Rennes. Remarkable restoration work has also been carried out on the façade of the building, whose elegant Haussmannian silhouette is magnified by mouldings with sophisticated decorative features. The apartment boasts a functional layout with generous volumes, into which light streams through the large windows overlooking the River Vilaine, which peacefully flows by the foot of the edifice. This is a comfortable and prestigious address that is ideal for family life and perfectly situated, just a short walk from the shopping district and the city’s narrow medieval streets.
