This Second Empire property, circa 1815, is part of a unique group of villas that punctuated the equestrian alleys and avenues designed by François Mansart in the Park of Maisons-Laffitte.
Nestled in the rich heritage of this Imperial city, wonderfully located between the Seine River and the forest, Maisons-Laffitte is a verdant setting at the gates of Paris. You can reach the heart of The Champs-Élysées in only 25 minutes by metro and Roissy International Airport in less than 40 minutes.
Walk along the wide wooded avenues of this high place of refinement, pleasure, and inspiration that has welcomed many personalities: Franck Jay Gould, L’Aga Khan, Jacques Fath, as well as writers such as Jean Cocteau, Roger Martin Du Gard, and Koestler.
In the Northwestern Ile-de-France, Maisons-Laffitte is the emblematic city of horse, which occupies a singular place in the urban public space.
The villa is situated in a safe and vibrant setting, ideally located on the border of Place Marine, designed by Jacques Laffitte, within walking distance of the market, the city center, and the Metro RER.
Built in 1815, the villa is located in a serene 0.36-acre garden. It underwent a complete renovation in 2005, which included the addition of a vast, luxurious kitchen with a winter garden area. The gates open into a paved courtyard with two open parking spaces, leading to a glass marquee entrance.
The villa is laid out over three floors and features a partial basement with a three-car garage, wine cellar, and spacious pantry. From the entrance hall, the marble floor leads to older salons and the new addition, featuring very high ceilings. The original restored salons, featuring stucco frieze ornamentation, opened onto the winter garden, offering a view of the secluded garden. Between the kitchen, which features very high-end appliances, and the winter garden, a large dining area opens onto a spacious summer garden terrace. Passing through the glass winter garden, a library leads to a cozy, wood-paneled salon with a large, authentic wood-burning fireplace. A majestic oak-wood stairway leads to the two upper floors. The second floor features three master bedrooms, each with a private terrace, and two master bathrooms. The third floor is situated above the attic, featuring exposed original wood beams, three bedrooms, and a spacious bathroom.
