Location
A formerly rural area specifically devoted to growing grapes and peas, today Clamart is a dynamic city where intermediary and executive professions represent more than 60% of the working population. With a significant architectural heritage, this pleasant city offers an urban landscape where nature is omnipresent, like the Clamart woods and its 230 hectares in the Meudon public woodland, the 2-hectare Maison-Blanche park in downtown Clamart, multiple flowerbeds maintained and updated over the course of the seasons, as well as private gardens dotting the residential neighbourhoods. In addition, the city has launched a pedestrianisation and vegetation-planting program for the city centre as well as the area around the train station. The property itself is located in the very sought-after neighbourhood of Maison Blanche, one minute by foot from the middle school, five minutes from the park of the same name and only a stone’s throw away from the city centre’s many local shops. As for public transportation, there are a number of options: two buses provide access to the train station, which connects Clamart to Montparnasse in 7 minutes and will soon welcome the new metro line 15, while the same buses also connect to metro lines 9, 12 and 13 and a tramway station (T6) is accessible in less than 15 minutes by foot and 10 minutes by bus. In terms of education, the city has a number of desirable schools, from the primary all the way up to the high school level.
Description
This blue and yellow house, abutting the hillside, was designed by its current architect owners and built in 1996 using the foundations of an old buhrstone dwelling. On a 192-m² lot, this house has an undeniable contemporary concrete exterior, the colours of which were inspired by a trip to San Francisco, vertical windows, a common wall on its right side and a floor area of 172 m² over four storeys.
On the ground floor, the front door opens onto a 42-m² living room punctuated by five windows and a glass door, providing triple exposure to the east, west and south as well as natural light throughout the day. An open or closed kitchen could be installed on this level, the floor of which is in natural stone with underfloor heating, while a one-of-a-kind fireplace designed by the owner was created by a skilled metalworker.
The staircase to the left of the front door provides access to the house’s plane garden level with a tiled kitchen and dining room, which look out onto the garden through glass doors. Once the basement, the crawl space was then incorporated in order to increase this level’s floor-to-ceiling height. In addition, this floor includes a lavatory and could be made completely independent.
From the ground floor, a metal and wood spiral staircase provides access to the first floor. This level includes three bedrooms with hardwood floors (two with more than 14 m² and a smaller one with 10.5 m²), a bathroom with bathtub and a separate lavatory. In addition, the end of the hallway, where two full-height cupboards face each other, could be converted into a storage space, while the two large bedrooms on the garden side, facing west, each open, via a glass door, onto a pleasant balcony overlooking the garden.
The second floor has a large room with elegant volumes under exposed beams, which is bathed in light and includes a washbasin. Initially designed as a game room, it could be kept as is or reconverted in a variety of ways, for example: by creating a bedroom space, shower room, office or adding partitions in order to create two additional bedrooms with a bathroom and separate lavatory.
Originally, one large building before being divided into two, the resulting entities were designed from the very beginning as semi-detached houses separated by thick 40-cm walls. Any existing areas that are not completely soundproof between the buildings will be remedied on each floor with the help of solid breezeblocks in order to finalise the house’s acoustic insulation before the sale..
In addition, the house has double-glazed, break-in resistant, bi-material windows: aluminium on the exterior and wood for the interior, while the roof is insulated with mineral wool under thick concrete tiles, which help muffle the sound of rain.
It should be noted that a preliminary declaration of work was submitted for the creation of a driveway in front of the gate in order to park a car on the property.

Our opinion
Like a ship docked at port with its bow pressed against the pilings, this bright and peaceful family house faces two quiet streets in one of the town’s nicest residential neighbourhoods, which is still close to the city centre as well as reputable schools. Sound and solid, it received a C rating on the Energy Performance Certificate thanks to its many comfortable acoustic and thermal elements. In addition, it also has the advantage of being modular, with the possibility of creating additional bedrooms as well as a new living space with an integrated kitchen. Redesigned, the garden level could also welcome two bedrooms with a shower room or be made completely independent in order to create a functional two-room flat or an office for a professional activity.
