The property, five minutes by foot from an RER station and included among the town’s many noteworthy houses, is set back from the road behind an initial large wrought-iron gate painted green, followed by a second one on an adjacent alleyway, lined by trees. The dwelling, built in the second half of the 19th century, as a holiday home, is surrounded by a verdant garden, which is, in turn, enclosed by stone walls.
Built in an elegant neoclassical style, the two-storey plaster-coated dwelling also includes a semi-underground basement level. Divided into three symmetrical vertical rows of rectilinear windows and doors framed by moulded surrounds, the main façade is also cadenced by a stringcourse between the two lower levels, a moulded cornice as well as large-scale quoins. A dormer window with a curved pediment and ailerons crowns the tile hipped roof, which is, in turn topped with chimneys and a terracotta finial. In addition, several straight stone steps leads to the glazed front door decorated with finely crafted ironwork.
Lastly, along the outskirts of the dwelling, a small cottage and a carport make up the property’s outbuildings, the whole surrounded by an ornamental garden.

The house

The ground floor
The house’s front door opens onto a long hallway with a beige and black cabochon tile floor, crown moulding and wainscoting, which provides access to several rooms. First, to the left, is a living room, separated into two sections thanks to a wide basket-handle arch. With mitred herringbone hardwood floors, wainscoting, a white marble fireplace and a number of windows, which provide abundant sunlight, a second door from this room opens onto the same corridor, which provides access to a bathroom at one end, while a kitchen with a window is located at the other. Following on from here is an open-newel, quarter-turn staircase, while an adjacent door provides access to the house’s basement level. Lastly, the dining room, similar to the living room, is more modest in size.
The first floor
At the top of the staircase is an initial bedroom with a washbasin, bathed in light thanks to three large windows with ancient wood frames. After a lavatory, three other bedrooms are grouped around the landing, each with straight-plank hardwood floors and marble fireplaces, like the first bedroom, while one of them has also access to a bathroom.
The second floor
The landing here provides access, on the right, to a small space that is used as an attic, followed by two bedrooms with sloping ceilings and terracotta tile floors, each with access to an adjacent attic space under the eaves.
The basement
Accessible from the dwelling’s interior, it is mainly made up of a series of adjacent rooms: three are used to store equipment and supplies, one as a wine cellar and the last one contains the furnace.
