From the street, a wrought-iron gate, flanked on either side by a caretaker’s cottage, opens onto a cobblestone courtyard where up to three vehicles can be parked.
A tall stone wall borders the property, while on the south side, the residence overlooks grounds of nearly 1,000 m².
The private mansion, built around 1830, was initially part of a larger housing estate, with more than 20 residences planned. However, it was never completed in full and resulted in the construction of only six private mansions.
Built out of rubble stone schist masonry masked by light-coloured plaster and topped with a hipped slate roof, the house has nearly 400 m² of inhabitable space distributed over a raised ground floor above a garden level as well as an upper floor and converted attic space. Its street-side façade displays five vertical rows of windows and its roof contains six skylights, while on the garden side, three slate shed dormer windows provide natural light for the top floor. Tall red brick chimneys topped with chimney pots are located on each gable end, while a third red brick chimney is located on a section of the roof ridge.
On the ground floor on the courtyard side and the first floor on the garden side, tall windows are topped with arched fanlights, as is the front door on the courtyard side, this time decorated with ironwork. Stringcourses, cornices and moulded window and door surrounds cadence the façade, while upstairs, the large-paned windows are safeguarded by wrought-iron guardrails.

The Private Mansion

The ground floor
From the courtyard, the front door opens onto a vast vestibule, the floor of which is covered in light stone tiles with blue cabochons, while a quarter-turn staircase protected by a wooden handrail and white spindles leads to the upper level. The entranceway also provides access to a small sitting room to the left and a large living room on the southern side, which includes a grey marble open-hearth fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is a dining room, the whole creating a vast reception space, whose immensity is highlighted by its high ceilings and large windows. The décor is of high quality and quite refined: original herringbone hardwood floors, wainscoting, Haussmannian three-panel doors as well as painted ceilings with friezes, roses and moulding. A fitted kitchen is also accessible from the entranceway and looks out on the courtyard. A cupboard, lavatory with washbasin and the stairwell take up the rest of the entrance hall.
The first floor
The staircase leads to a vast landing with several spaces that provide access to a bedroom with a cupboard, an office with a cupboard, a second bedroom with an adjacent office, a vast blue and white tiled bathroom, a wardrobe as well as a linen cupboard, two lavatories and the stairwell. The bedrooms and offices, all fitted with light-colour cupboards, are decorated with wainscoting as well as cornices and crown moulding.
The second floor
Built into the attic space, this level includes a landing with an oval skylight overhead decorated with wallpaper, while a small hallway leads to three bedrooms with wallpapered walls and hardwood floors, a bathroom with cupboards, a shower room with lavatory, a separate lavatory, three storage spaces and the stairwell. Dormer windows and skylights provide this level with plentiful sunlight.
The garden-level floor
The staircase descends to the level that was initially reserved for the house’s employees. Since then, reconverted into a living space in its own right, it includes a vast reception area with a sitting room and living room with stone tile floors, wainscoting as well as moulding and friezes. The rest of the space is divided up between a kitchen that also faces the garden, a lavatory with washbasin, a workshop, cellar, furnace room and stairwell. Seven sets of glass double doors face south and provide direct access to the cobblestone patio and landscaped garden.
